Hey guys, well I just got back from band camp and I am ready to go back for summer band.  I do like being home but I am ready to go back to continue getting my degree so that I can finally teach.  If anyone is interested I am offering to give trumpet lessons $5 for a half hour.  Just give me a call and I will see if we can work out a time to do lessons.  Also, if you have just graduated and would like a little help dealing with college life I am also available.  Especially if you are going to HSU all you have to do is ask.  Well I need to go and practice but just give me a call if you have any questions about trumpet or college, or just call if you need help with something.  I may not be able to help my self but if not then I could probably find someone who can. 

Talk to you guys later.

He guys, school for me is over!  I don't have to be back until June 19 for Band camp and I hope that many of you will be there.  But anyway I hope to see most of you tonight at the Band Banquet and until then, "Be kind, please rewind."  Just kidding.

Hey, I hope everyone is doing good.  Sorry I havn't updated in a while but I haven't really had anything to talk about.  I hope that all of my PG friends are having a good time in San Antonio right now.  By the way the NuFusion Jazz Band performed Friday and it was GREAT!!.  I have never had that much fun performing in my life.  It is a lot more fun than concert band.  Also be excited for my man Reggi Bush going to my team in New Orleans as well as Vince Young for going to the Tennessee Titans.  I can't wait for this foot ball season and sure can't wait until finals are over.  We only have two more weeks and then we are done for the year.  Hopefully I will be home in two weeks so I hope to see many of you soon.  Talk to you all later.

Hey ya'll will never guess what I got to do last weekend.  Some friends and I went to
Dallas and got to see the DSO play "The Planets" and it was AWSOME!!!!!  If you ever get a chance to see them do it.  Well anyway I have to study and I will talk later.

Hello how is everyone.  Just in case you want to ask I cannot go to prom with wnyone this year.  It just so happens that finals are that next week and there is no way that I could possibly leave with those exams only two days away.  So that is just to let everyone know. 

Now on to bigger and better things.  I hope that every one got to enjoy some part of Mardi Gras this year.  I didn't get to go this year but I do hope that some of you got to enjoy some part of the season.  Also, with the conclusion of the Mardi Gras season we begin the season of Lent.  Not everyone has to do this but I challenge all of you to atleast attempt to give up something that you would be better off without.  As for me, I have given up too many things to mention on here.  Plus, you shouldn't tell anyone that you are fasting.  That is another reason why I am not putting that on this sight.  The main point of me saying this is to try show people that the whole point of this season is to better ourselves.  How much better of a person would you be if you decided that instead of watching TV for an hour you would pray.  Even if you are not a religious person I encourage you all to try and give something up until Easter.  Now Sunday is an exception to the rule.  You don't have to fast on Sunday because it is a day of rest and there are 40 days and nights without Sundays included.  So if you do fast for this season, don't five up something just fast.  Instead, try and find one thing that you could give up that you could be better off without anyway like profane language.  Also, if you do this let no one know because you are doing this for yourself and no one else.  And also, you could actually decide to do something to better yourself rather than give something up.  Like trying to pray everyday or trying to eat some kind of fruit or veggitable with your dinner or lunch every day. 

The point of this is that the Lent is not just for Catholics, anyone can do it they just have to want to do it.  So go out and be a better person.

Peace and God bless to all.
