Hello Everyone! It was absolutely a beautiful day for Marching Bands on Sunday, Oct 3rd 2010 up at J Birney Crum Stadium in Allentown. 
This stadium, by far, is one of the finest stadiums to march in. I think the announcer had it wrong. J Birney Crum is a Marching Band Stadium that we permit other sports to play in. The stadium is perfect for Marching Band and Dinkels. The astroturf field is smooth, and with all the rain we had just prior to the event, you would never know it. It simply great to walk and march on. It is no accident that so many marching shows are held here at J Birney Crum. Continue reading
Hello Everyone! It is hard to believe it is August 2010 already! Here we are just about ready for the Band Camps to start up across the nation. By now, the show and drill is completed and everyone is excited to start learning their spot on the field! In just a few short weeks, the regular college crowd will be heading back to their dorms to start the 2010 school year. Here we go! But First, we have to get through Musikfest 2010 up here in Bethlehem PA. MusikFest kicks off August 6 through the 15th. A packed full week of Music. If you are in the northeast area and can venture in the Pennsylvania off the I-78 corridor, there you will find a way down to the festival of activities. Here is the main web site for the Festival. http://www.musikfest.org/ For the day by day line up of events, you will want to check out this page: http://www.musikfest.org/lineup/dailys/8-6.asp
There is over 300 artists performing at this festival. To me, since it is local to my native Pennsylvania, it is the “Woodstock” event for our generation. Tons of music, tons of food and drink, and tons of fun. Just scroll the performers showing up and you will see why! Tickets are on sale and you will find that link for ordering on their web site.
Have Fun!
Hello All!
US Flag
For many in high school, the Memorial Day parade is upon us. If your school participates, this is the last chance for the seniors to put on the Marching Band uniform. Unless they pursue Marching Band in college, it may be the last time, so take many pictures.
I would like to take the opportunity to express some thoughts about Memorial Day. For those of you that are not familiar with the tradition, Memorial Day is a very special day to our Veterans and families of veteran’s of the Armed Forces. Continue reading
Hello All -
Folding Trailer
Over the years I have discovered many things that schools and colleges are doing to get their pit on and off the field. I have seen carts made. I have seen commerical carts used. I have seen tractors running on Gas and Electric golf carts. I have seen some of the low commercial carts in use, and have even spotted a few home built carts. Some of the commercial carts are very expensive for a local high school booster club. So, I wanted to share a Trailer Kit that a number of High School booster clubs are using. This Trailer Kit is something I have spotted several high schools use, and even my own booster club ended up purchasing one. So, here is a review of the pros and cons and our experience.
