Band Camp Day 5 (Taylor University)
- Friday, July 31, 2009... 12:00pm update. Band camp 2009 is a wrap. As I told the students earlier today, I have been very proud of what the students have done this week. I can't believe how hard they worked the entire time. We are off to a great start and this camp has made it happen. This was my 16th band camp and I can't ever remember students behaving as well as they did. There were so many things we didn't have to ask, they just did them. Again, the student leadership has been incredible as well. Special thanks to Karen Mock, Barb Greenwell, and Tod Miller for chaperoning along with all those who came up each day and night.
I hope that students enjoyed this. I'm sure they are worn out by now! However, I think they will take great things from the week.

Band Camp Day 1 (Taylor University)
-Monday, July 27, 2009... students are working hard and having fun. VERY good first day. We're off to a great start for the week! I want to say how well the students have begun rehearsing. The show is coming along- slowly, but surely. I think we're in for a great season and think you'll enjoy the show! When you talk to your kids, make sure to tell them to keep up their hard work!
