And So it Goes

Congratulations on a good start to the season.

As well all know Stamford's show was not our best effort. Bethel was much better, and a lot more fun!

I'm looking forward to a GREAT week of practice.

Band Camp Begins

2008-08-08T13:29:00.001-07:00

As I went shopping today for my 2008 binder I was challenged by the color. I am looking around my office at all my 15 other binders from previous years and definitely NOT choosing white for my color. Maybe Orange again, Red possible. Green? No. I think red, you will see Monday night or Tuesday which color.

Getting ready for band camp? So am I. It's funny how my ENTIRE life still lines up around the last two weeks in August. Even my kids know when band camp is, and it's usually the week Nicole chooses to visit Michigan.

So get the water bottles ready, not to mention the 131 good attitudes!

See you Monday morning.

No One Sleeps

2008-06-12T20:30:00.001-07:00

No-one shall sleep
No-one shall sleep!
No-one shall sleep!
You too, oh Prince,In your cold room, watch the starsTrembling with love and hope!
But my secret lies hidden within me,No-one shall discover my name!
Oh no, I will only reveal it on your lips When daylight shines forth!
And my kiss shall break The silence that makes you mine!

[Choir:] No-one shall discover her name!
And we will, alas, have to die, to die!
Depart, oh night! Set, you stars! Set, you stars! At dawn I shall win! I shall win! I shall win

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

2007-11-19T20:06:00.000-08:00

I am still getting over the win from last weekend, and right around 4:00 Saturday night I found myself standing in my kitchen with this strange feeling of having nothing to do. I quickly found something to do, but I had gotten so used to finishing rehersal right around that time. Funny how your body takes some time to adjust, like jet lag. I guess it's band lag.

I have been reading all these negative comments going on around these different websites for quite some time involving members of our band and other bands as well. While I am able to see who most of these people are I cannot see who all of them are. Make sure you stay away from that fray, and out of that fire. Some of you have not, and have been spoken to. While 99% of you have, it only takes one. No matter what others say, remember who you are, and what you stand for.

I guess that's all for now, keep checking back. See you at guard practice.

Done.

Like my Charlotte says every morning, "I'm so Happy."

Truly a wonderful season and an end to a magical week.

Need I remind everyone we have 46 Freshmen in this band?

I think my favorite part of the victory has to be the culmination of the perfect storm. We went over everything that had to go your way, and it did. None of that would of mattered without THE performance, THE show, THE sound and THE visual intensity you displayed tonight.

The show popped from that stadium like we told you it would. The sound popped, and from the very top of the stadium I felt like I was in the horn arc warming up.

More to come tomorrow, I feel incredibly proud of every single one of you.

THSGEMB Video Section

2007-09-23T19:17:00.000-07:00

So, I have finally figured out hot to upload video from OLD Trumbull movies I have. Do you know I have at least one performance of every single show Trumbull has done since 1981? Yup, it's true. Of course that means I have lot's of other bands performances as well. I finally found some time to learn how to upload video and have begun adding video's to the THSGEMB.COM website a few at a time. Any requests?

Enjoy.
