Turn away for the squeamish.

Third from left


I was just coming out of a yawn on this one.


I didn't take any pics myself, the music director at my school took 'em all.

Seems like a nice boy.

Good one James.

I don't know why, but I can't get "Sergeant Pepper's lonely hearts club band" out of my head.  ;)  ;D
All joking aside, looks like fun.  8)

I am so happy I didn't have to wear an actual uniform-with a helmet- with feathers!!- when I marched (we drummers dressed like beatniks, black pants and white turtleneck, that's it), but you guys look pretty damn fly, as a marching drumline should.
 Those sticks are like the Special Edition Billy Cobham  Knuckle-Busters or something... I got away with my ProMark Neil Peart 747s back in the day because the field drums were deeper and I hit really, really hard.  It wasn't really a parade or a game unless I broke a stick.
But I bet you could out-flamadiddle me, even when I still had my snare chops.
Too bad I missed you guys... The West Islip band was not the best I've heard.

[Willit Run]

You guys look grand in your uniforms!!

  Good show, James!!

Obviously something you love to do .......... It reminds me of all those years ago when I used to play...... not drums but fiddle in bands and orchestras.

I've just posted a link to some fantastic drummers in the music and entertainment forum.

LOL That's my fifth pair of sticks this year. Don't worry.

Man, I could out triple ratamacue you anyday. Old-timer.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
