Game 6 - Pre-Game

Game 6 -Getting Ready to March...

Perfect weather for a Friday night show and wool uniforms...60 something degrees with a light breeze.
Thanks man...I can use the help!
Cymbal Line adding last minute pieces to the uniform.
Hat/strap adjustment time


Some last minute chatting before putting the "game face" on.

Game face?  Don't think so but love that smile!


Let's do it! Let's give 'em a show they won't soon forget!
And boy did they ever! FANTASTIC SHOW! BEST ONE YET!


Game 6 -A look into the happenings of a Friday night performance...before the coin is flipped!

This is how you do it...
"But I did think I was doing it that way."



Mr. Albert talking with the percussion students from Monrovia Middle and Sparkman Middle
who were the guests at "Band Day 2010." The students watched the drumline warm up before
 the game, then marched in with the SHS Marching Senators.

The stick is the perfect shade...if you're trying to shade just one eye!

Game 6 Half-time Performance,Sparkman vs. Florence, October 1, 2010




All I could say after that performance was... MY GOODNESS! WHAT AN OUTSTANDING HALF-TIME SHOW! Your dedication and hard work definitely shined last night. Loved the added movements and features! Ya'll had the audience (even Florence's band members toward the end of the show) hanging on just waiting to see what was coming next. The ending of the show was absolutely the icing on the cake! Super job to everyone that had a part in it!

Game 5 - Sparkman vs. Clay Chalkville-Performing the third selection of their half-time show, Urban Groove.


This was taped from the visitor side at the Sparkman vs. Clay Chalkville game on Sept. 24, 2010. The selection from "Cirque du Soleil" has a heavy percussion presence in some sections and sounded awesome! Another parent taped the entire show from the "home side" and it is posted on You Tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe6P3Ze9eZw.
