Upstairs on April fools

Worth noting

To clarify, the PAC Band is not performing at the Mud Hens game - this is just social event some members may want to attend.

You may notice different pictures on the website - Thank you Howard Bogdanski, Dick & Joyce Folta, and Jessica Pienta.

Also, Howard and I are working to place his historical pictures and notes on the website. Visit the picture albums on the right of the homepage by double clicking and selecting "slideshow." More pictures and captions will follow. If you have pictures you would like to share, I remind you to email them or bring them to rehearsal. Howard loaned me his book and I am scanning them in. We will go through and add captions soon.

Thanks,
Nathan

Playin' the tub

In the absence of a bass drum for the evening, a garbage can is
surprisingly acoustically flexible.

March 4, 2008: Old Man Winter Wins Again

Hello, I regretfully report the loss of our most recent attempt to practice. March 4, 2008's rehearsal is cancelled due to the mighty forces of Old Man Winter. Have no fear, we will conquer him on Tuesday, March 12, 2008, at the downstairs battlefield of the Point Place VFW. Until then, my comrades, enjoy the snow and ready yourselves for next week's battle.
