The Architecture of Life

I have uploaded my video of the LSE marching band show on You Tube.  It was a pretty steep learning curve for me, but I finally figured out that I had to cut the show into three sections.  You Tube has a 10 minute time limit. 

So here you are . . . the Lincoln Southeast Marching Band Show - The Architecture of Life.  Music by Joe Curiale, Arrangements by Dave Young and Drill Design by Dave Young.

Celebration and Dance

Kindness of Strangers

Deep Roots

I'll upload newer versions as the season progresses.  They have three more competitions this month.

Dave and I went to Brass Quintet rehearsal at Westminster this evening.  We'll be playing in church on Sunday.  Boyd Bacon writes arrangements that make us sound pretty good.  We have a new tuba player this year - Matt Manning.  Bob Person and I play trumpet, Dave plays baritone and Dave Anderson plays French horn.  The church bought a new chair with arm rests for Dave, so he can get up from the chair more easily.  The custodian even added an extra three inches of height with some fancy woodworking on the bottoms of the legs of the chair.  Dave can get up and down the steps to the sanctuary since they have some really nice handrails.  It's nice for Dave and I to have a group like the Westminster Brass Quintet so we can make a little music together each week.

And just when we thought we were out of the woods, Dave told me that he will be having surgery again soon.  Actually two surgeries - one to pull a tooth and another for carpal tunnel.  His doctor said he should have both surgeries a day apart, so he only has to go off Coumadin once.  He'll have to have Lovenox injections a few days before and a few days after the surgeries.  His right hand is numb most of the time, so it's time to have the carpal tunnel surgery.  He's been putting it off for years.  Now he just has to decide when these procedures will happen.

One day at a time . . .
