The crisp, cool air of September typically brings up some of these memories. Fourteen years ago now, a Friday night in September meant that I was walking out onto a football field in mid-Missouri to play a marching show. To this day, the fondest memories of high school involve that uniform and that snare drum, the same one I had all three years at Hickman High School. I’m sad I’ve lost track of a lot of the people I marched with, but I do think of them from time to time and wish I could get that kind of experience back again.
More than likely, I’ll have to wait until Meg’s in a similar uniform someday.
But until then, I can relive the memories, thanks to transfer technology from VHS to DVD, and from DVD to YouTube. Thus, on this Friday in September, I present to you my marching shows from high school for your viewing enjoyment.
“Western Perceptions” – 1997
“The Music of Shakespeare” – 1998
“Homage: Three Tapestries” – 1999
And for those that want Kristen’s shows, I’ve got those up on YouTube also. “The Music of Stravinsky,” “The Wind and The Lion,” and “Journey Through A Dream.”
Hannibal plays Hickman tonight. I hear it might not be a good one.
yay drumline!! (go Kewpies!)
Hannibal won 10-0. I didn’t expect that but listened to it on the radio while watching the Cardinals beat Philly.
That’s just depressing…
saw that in the paper. I think the Kewps were a bit cocky!
