STHS Performing Arts

Congratulations to the marching band on an excellent season. This was our 3rd high brass award, and I understand that we were a very close second in several captions including guard. I didn’t see the recap sheets, but they should be posted on www.tob-info.net or at least should be soon.

Photo work is in progress, I’m up to the show photos from ACCs and they are half done right now. I got a late start tonight due to an unexpected 12 hour day. I’m uploading what’s finished so I can add stuff to the site tomorrow. If things cooperate tomorrow I will be able to finish the show photos and get them uploaded and possibly posted.

I’m working with three different sources to get some additional photos and videos, and I will edit and post them as I get them. I should be ordering the ACCs DVDs this week, it usually takes a few weeks for me to get them, so be patient. I don’t order the instant ones at the show because I’ve had several come back with poor audio or video quality and I would rather have awards on there. That reminds me, I need to see about official videos from Ephrata and Chapters.

Finally, I saw many individuals and parents with cameras and camcorders at the shows and in the stands at the football games throughout the season. However, I haven’t had anyone want to give me anything to post on the site. The same goes for the musical, it’s pretty obvious when I am standing in the back of the house or the top of the stands. I encourage everyone to hunt through their collections and get in contact with me. If that doesn’t work, I might be nice enough to resort to bribery for a few months. One possibility is send me some photos, get entered into a drawing for one of a couple Best Buy gift cards, Visa/MC/Amex gift cards, ITunes gift cards, something like that. That’s money I really need to spend on getting bills paid and improving the sites, sponsoring other ST stuff, but we’ll see how good I’m feeling in a few weeks.
