July Update
The Fourth of July Fireworks were just spectacular! I took my own kids down to see the parade and have a pancake breakfast at the Firehouse on Donner pass road in the morning. It was a great time and while the line was long (we are used to being there very early), it was the perfect spot to view the parade from. We had a wonderful surprise as we watched the parade… even though the ACMS/SMMS jazz band was not playing (only the second time in 14 years) along came a Jazz band playing one of our standards Birdland! It was our former students now part of Truckee HS Jazz Band taking up the mantle and making sure the school music programs of Truckee were represented in our Home Town Parade! BRAVO!!!! I even noticed that Graduated Seniors were leading the way.
I was so excited I had to run down the street and take pictures of these wonderful young musicians as they moved along the route. I was even lucky enough to catch a photo of Mr. Green’s smiling face as he rode along in the Cab of the float truck!
I could not be more proud of Mr. Green and these Fine young students carrying on this tradition!
I will be down at the school this week working on the inventory and cleaning brass instruments in the mornings. I have my class lists for 7th and 8th grade and I will be getting in contact with everyone over the remainder of the summer to talk about next school year!
I hope to see you all soon!
Mr. H.
