The Grants Pass High School Marching Band was invited to go to New York for the Macy’s 2010 Thanksgiving Day Parade, but you never know what might happen….

Besai band Concert.

The best poem i’ve ever seen about football.

Example of my confusing thought process.

This poem is about the institution of marriage. It is included in my book "Endless Visions" published in June 2009.

The worst part about losing your cool on Monday, is going back to work and smiling on Tuesday.

Being a drum is quite the delight…

As a devout Nebraska football fan, one of my highlights growing up was something that happened off the field.

This is a letter I wrote to the marching band director at our college as an attempt to persuade him/her to host annual twirling auditions (as opposed to allowing the twirlers to keep the positions until graduation). I hand-delivered the letter, asked if I could speak to him/her about it after he/she had read it, and later set up an appointment to meet. During our meeting he/she refused to change the policy but had very weak reasoning behind this decision (reasons which I answered very well in the letter), so a couple of weeks later, I sent a similar letter appealing to the director of the School of Music (also explaining the results of my meeting with the marching band director), who later went on to change the policy, although it did not take effect until the next year.
