Seeking uniformity? CHS gives out old band outfits
June 20, 2008
Mimicking Michael Jackson’s fashion sense?
Trying to re-enact the “Sgt. Pepper’s” album cover?
Or maybe you’re just pining for the good old days, marching along with the Chaska High School band.
Now’s your chance to get a piece of history – circa 1978. That was when the school district purchased 150 purple band uniforms, all emblazed with “Chaska.”
Most of the uniforms would remain the district’s closet until last year, when a new set of uniforms was purchased to augment a rejuvenated marching band program. Read more

We would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to all Jukes who has attended the Annual S.U. Band Picnic in the past. This year we would like to get more of the younger Jukes invovled. We all know that there are alot of legends in their own right, that have attened S.U. or that are in the making at S.U. We the commity of the S.U. Band Picnic would like for all of the younger Jukes to come out an meet the older legends; so that you won’t just be able to talk about who did what in whatever year but, be able to put names with faces. We think that it is very important that we close this generational gap with our younger brothers and yes sisters. Read more
Every school should have a band

I wish I could get you the direct quote, but it’s lost somewhere, on a scrap of paper, amid the clutter of my “Reporter’s Car” — which, as a former newspaper writer, I can tell you is not half as bad as that other journalistic icon: the “Photog’s Car.” (You know the expression: “Don’t go there?” Well, we’re talking literally.)
What was it that I just had to write down as I listened to the Kojo Nnamdi radio show on WAMU in Washington, D.C.? It was a quote from Darrell Watson, music director of the Ballou Senior High School Band — the “Majestic Marching Knights” — whom Nnamdi was interviewing on a segment about a new documentary film called simply “Ballou.”

Memorial Day: Family remembers Sgt. Edmond Randle, Fallen member of FAMU’s Marching 100

A soldier’s life, a mother’s pain
Source: Miami Herald
His family called him Dakie (pronounced DAY-kee).
He was close to both his mother and father, although they divorced when he was a boy. Dakie was an average student at Miami Central High School and a master trumpet player. He loved Michael Jordan sneakers, listening to Barry White and playing Grand Theft Auto, and he had a hard time choosing between two girls who said they loved him.
”He wasn’t the type you’d see on the street,” Karla said. “He only got into one fight growing up.”
He never played with G.I. Joe toy soldiers or had a penchant for watching Saving Private Ryan. He chose band over ROTC.
He earned a music scholarship to attend Florida A&M, played with its famous Marching 100 band, and won special honors. But with the independence of living away from home came the unpalatable consequences of choice.
Bethune Cookman 2008 High School Band Camp - June 15 - 21
May 26, 2008
Dear Band Director/Prospective Camp Students,
I am excited to announce that this year Bethune-Cookman University Marching Wildcats will sponsor its 5th Annual Summer Band Camp for High School Student Musicians. The camp will be for marching band and all auxiliary components. We also plan to have master classes, technology seminars, and student forums. This will be in addition to the marching music and routines that will be performed. The Summer Band Camp Band will perform at a Disney Theme Park, Sea World or Busch Gardens Tampa on the last day of the camp, and after the performance the students will be allowed to spend the remainder of the day in the theme park. Other social events for students will be a skating party, dance and talent show.
