Wakeland Places 4th at State!

We are so proud to announce that the 32 year-old coon-ass band director from Ken-nuh did very well at his first rodeo!  Wakeland placed 4th which is astonishing for their first visit to the Texas 4A State Marching Band competition.  It is the first time a Frisco ISD band has made finals at state.  Our family is very proud of Gerry and all his students!  What a great experience!  Here is their UIL area show.  The video quality on their state performance isn't as great.  The video seems to take forever to load so please be patient.

Wow, the audio quality of the clip is great! And Gerry, congrats on 4th!

Our band did a neat little number last year; we performed to Michael Jackson's Thriller, complete with zombie costumes and smoke. If you're interested, I have it up on Covington High's website:

Anyway, I hope to find all of you well. Sue and I are getting married in December, so our focus is on wedding stuff right now. We're very excited! Feel free to check out my facebook periodically for wedding updates (and pictures when it happens)!
