Marching Band Overdose

Friday, October 30th, 2009

As I was reading the news today I ran across an interesting story. It was all about a marching band that is the largest in the country. The band hails from a Texas school called Allen High School. It fields 527 musicians, plus a drill team with 72 members and a color guard of 39. It is now the largest regularly performing marching band in the U.S.

It’s really good news to hear that so many kids are interested in music. I wish I could hear the band play sometime as I imagine the noise must raise the dead. I would also like to see the 18 buses they use for road trips lined up. That must be a heck of a sight! I say good luck Allen High and Godspeed!

The best shows

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

One thing our family loves is music. We like all kinds of it and we also believe that seeing a live show is the best way to experience it. When you see a show live, you get the benefit of knowing how the artist feels about the songs. That’s why it is so important that we are able to secure tickets for our favorite shows. When we visited Pennsylvania recently, we were able to purchase Electric Factory Tickets. That was pleasing to the whole family.

My daughter is a big music fan. When she heard that her favorite band was coming to town, we knew we had to pick up some Jersey Boys Tickets. I was glad to be able to help her as she has been getting good grades at school and I felt like she deserved a reward. She will be taking some friends to see the show and I know they will enjoy it.

My son has a crush on one of the biggest stars out there. He won’t admit it, but I know he does. I decided that since I had bought my daughter tickets, I would buy him some Britney Spears Tickets as well. I think the near future will hold a lot of interest in concert going. That’s ok with me as I believe that music is a fun safe way to express yourself. I’m thinking about attending a few concerts myself!

Books and Covers

We’ve all heard the old saying about never judge a book by its cover. This lesson was relearned by thousands of people who watched Susan Boyle perform on the T. V. show Britain’s Got Talent. Although Susan may not look like a star, her amazing singing talent has shown through and she has created a large fan base.

Susan has dealt with her new found fame in a humble and graceful manner. She has made numerous T.V. appearances and is a favorite of the media. Her singing is really an incredible thing to see and enjoy. She truly has a special talent!

We Love it!

One thing we have always enjoyed is music. Everyone knows that to get the best music, you have to see the artists perform live. Seeing the show is the key to getting the full effect of the message each musician is trying to convey. Since our area has a very small concert hall, many of the biggest acts do not come to our town. That’s why it may be necessary to do a little traveling to see the shows we like.

One example was our trip to California. Since we knew we would be in the area at a specific date, we were able to order Pacific Amphitheater Tickets online ahead of time. That worked out great and we had a good time. When I had to make a trip to Wisconsin for some office business, I basically did the same thing and was able to secure Alpine Valley Music Theater Tickets. That was a great trip as well.

The next big trip on our list is the state of Washington. While I am there, I want to check out the Washington Huskies Men’s Basketball team and I’ll do that by purchasing Bank of America Pavilion Tickets. After all is said and done, I now know the little tricks that make my life more enjoyable. The ability to have access to the best shows and sports events has enabled me to get the most out of life. I’ll see you at the show!!
