This was on my EEi teacher’s page. Guess I know what I’ll be doing this weekend. A different way to do band, for sure!

Dear Seniors,

How odd you must be feeling right now. 50% of you are ECSTATIC that you are graduating. The other 50% is SAD that it is happening with such little Pomp and Circumstance (a little band director humor there). Honestly, I am feeling a little victimized myself. I am sad that I don't get to be by your side and celebrate YOU! Yes, celebrate YOU! Not just as a musician but as the young adults I adore.

Please know that this is NOT our finé. It is just a brief intermission. Trust me when I say we will see each other again, and we will celebrate YOU!

For now, Praise God, stay healthy, keep a positive attitude, and remember that your academic achievement has NOT been diminished one bit by this pandemic, just the party. YOU DID IT, and the pandemic can never take that away from you!

For many of you, as your former band director, I am wishing you a great summer, and hopefully, we will see you all again very soon. Until then CONGRATULATIONS!

In His service,

Mike Metzler

How to participate in Steve Hartman's "Taps Across America" Thousands of trumpet and bugle players will sound Taps from their porches on Memorial Day.

Hey band students! Have you ever wished you could play with the United States Marine Corps band? Well, here is your opportunity. The U.S. Marine Corps Band is hosting a play-along on Wednesday, May 27, at 10:00 a.m. (PDT), playing two John Philip Sousa marches, "The Thunderer" and "The Stars and Stripes Forever". Anyone can join in. After the play along, students up through 12th grade are invited to make a video recording of themselves playing "The Stars and Stripes Forever", to be used in a special collage performance to be released on July 4. That should be fun! Details are in the link below.
