Documenting the history of the Mighty Crimson Tide Band of BCHS, Bridge City,TX. A true history of the BCHS Band So, please post it. Whatever you have.
By using recordings,videos,films & photo's, posted by alumni & current band members, from 6th grade through the oldest alumni who posts info. This page is intended to document the photographic history, by the use of each years Band's Group Pictures as well as an opportunity for all alumni who have lost all their pictures in the storms to recover their band memories lost the those hurricanes. Nothi
ng feels better than to recover something you thought you would never see again. These pics are of course in the possession of band alumni of the Mighty Crimson Tide Band of BCHS and the BCJH Fighting Red Raider Band. So it will be up to the alumni pre-1973 through current band members to get their group pictures posted
So please, any of you who possess historic pictures of the band, in good shape, not lost to the storms, please post them under the photo section
When posting pictures in the Photo Section:
1) Please, take your time, be sure to post it in it proper album in the photo section so we do not duplicate postings, or it happens as little as possible. The same scene from different camera angles does not count as the same shot.. If you do not need to double post a picture,and it is in a different album than the original, then that pic should fall into both album categories. But if the picture quality of your duplicate picture is of a better quality than the one posted, we would certainly want to have the better picture. If one pic is black & white and you have the same shot in color, please post it.
2) You should document whatever history you can when you post a picture. In the area under each picture is a description box to write down information. Please list any factual or identifying remarks, person, class, instrument, year of the photo. The info is for history and to help other alumni replace their lost photos to the storm or over time. While at the same time allowing band friends & alumni from each decade to help rebuild a photographic history of the band program at BCHS & BCMS Red Raider Band.
3) We have the following school years Group Pictures posted: only 2 years of the Middle School/Jr. High School Band 1972-73 & 1973-74. The High School Group pics begin in 73-74, 74-75, 75-76, 76-77, 77-78, 78-79. Anything but a complete set of Group Pictures from at least 1973 through the present, is the goal of the Group Pic's page. If the set is not complete, the job is not done. We seek to build history before 1973 as well. That date was put down since that is currently the oldest Group Picture of the band.
4) This page is to used as an area where recordings of the BCMS Band at Concert Contest can be posted as well as all High School Band Concert Contest performances. Concert recording: When you post, if known, always post the name of the Director, the name of the music and the year of the band. The site is to be dedicated to obtaining and posting as much of the music and history of The Mighty Crimson Tide Band of BCHS as possible.
5) A place where the band students can see that there are many alumni who are aware of their contest and support them in their attempt at excellence and maintain a Sweepstakes quality band for 3 years in a row. Something that has never done before. Band Boosters can use the sight to communicate about Booster Meetings, fund raisers, announcements. Directors could use the sight to communicate to band members on Facebook,send out reminders concerning assignments, deadlines, games.
6) If you are a parent and band alumni. who also has kids currently in, or who also were in the band. Let them know of this page and ask them to document as much of the band during their time. This page can build a working history of the band program and the memories we all have of band during our time in high school or middle school. You cant work as hard as you do in band to become a consistent Sweepstakes winner and not be a close tight knit group of friends. It is intended to build bridges between the generations of band students and alumni since the birth of excellence in 1973 through the current environment of a Middle School Band and High School Band that both receive ONLY 1's. It is music to the ears of any of the 1st generation band alumni. Use the site to invite your friends from band during the years that you went through and participated in this great HS band and were, or are a part of it's long history of excellence. When the page opens. We each need to pass the word around about the page to other band people on your list, ask them to do the same. Tell the Directors and Boosters so they may tell their band kids or other band alumni about the new page. An excellent chance to build a multi generational picture of Band Life at BCHS and this award winning band program and its proud past of excellence.
