So much has happened since my last Blog! I bought a house and moved to Spanish Springs (whew!), wrote the "Ballad" Drill for the second movement of the field show "Watches of the Night", the Cougar Jazz Band performed in the halls of SSHS, the band performed at two home football games, the boosters created amazing "Clock Numbers" for use in the field show, and much more!
Go Cougar Band!
Ruminations on the band program of Spanish Springs High School in Sparks, Nevada including the marching band, jazz band, drum line, and color guard. Go SSHS Cougars!

Show Opener - Drill Finished
Mr. Cowee had his creative thinking cap on Saturday morning as we created the rest of the drill for the show opener "Darkness Falls". With this ready to go for Monday evening, the band is poised to make major strides forward this coming week. The goal is to finish the opener on Monday and Thursday evenings. Saturday Rehearsal (9am-3pm) will be all about putting the Ballad (middle tune) on the field.
Go Cougard Band!

Game #2 in the Can
The second home football game of the 2009 season was a success as a marching band performance and football game. The team beat Reno! A great step forward for the Cougar Team...and the band performed the entire "Darkness Falls" movement of "Watches of the Night". There was a great positive vibe in the stands from fans, parents, and students. The night was a total success.
Thanks to all the parents that help with pit, uniforms, and FOOD. The post-game food was great!
