Christmas tunes?

I have decided to get a jump on the Christmas songs for pan bands already. first up is a medley of "joy to the world" and "God rest ye"..called "comfort and joy".

also working on a michael jackson tune called "Hold my Hand"

A stitch in time

I had a basal cell cancer removed from my temple recently which was not nearly as traumatic as it sounds. 12 stitches and 4 days after the non event, i feel great and am looking forward to getting the stitches out. i will now always heed my wife's warning for sun screen and a hat.

I am preparing my high school steel drum band for their upcoming performance at the Kansas Music Educator state convention at the end of February. We are playing:
Banana Funk, Spin Cycle, Urban Spice, Marche Militaire, One Love, and Trini 2 D bone.
The presentation is on Feb 26 at the Wichita, KS Hyatt and is usually well attended by fellow music teachers.

As i sit here watching the golf channel, i find my mind wandering to warmer days when golf is always an option. One thing is for sure, however, sun screen and a wide brim hat will always go with me.

Snow Day!!

A snow day is always a nice bonus for a teacher. BUT there's always things i need to do with the various groups so for me, i don't always like them. for instance, i REALLY needed to see my jazz band for a rehearsal but....

i have my mind set on starting more Christmas charts for next season..they are great sellers. also thinking about an "Overture" for steel drum band. probably summer for that one though.

Pan tunes 6 is also probably summertime thing....sigh....
