If you have been following this blog, you may (or may not) have noticed a lot of posts lately pertaining to the Oak Glen High School Marching Band. I was part of the band, and have been taking photos, videos, and digital recordings of today's band to be archived for future generations. I recognized that people do not take pictures like they use too, so saw an opportunity to start preserving what I am able. I have been going to events this year so far (all the Oak Glen Home Games, and Christmas parades in recent time), and taking as many digital records as able. I usually aim for about 200+ pictures, and several videos for each event. The picture are saved to a disc; one copy is archived, and another sent to Director Wendy Zinn for the band's records. The videos are uploaded to a playlist on YouTube for all to see; I figured it was easier, less painful, and more convenient to share with others to promote our local legacy.
With all the events going on lately, and my anticipation of a very buisy season next year with the band's scheduel/growing popularity; I have taken the liberty to create a new Blog specifically for the Oak Glen High School Marching Band. This will not affect this Blog at all, and will give me more room for stories of my family history adventures (/misadventures-lol). On this new site: I will share records I have taken (pictures, and links to YouTube videos), upcomming band events, and any other announcement pertaining to the marching band of today and tomorrow.
Follow this link to see the site (be sure to tell your friends):

Thanks to everyone who is following my stories, and I will do my best to keep both Blogs equally interesting.

Oak Glen High School Marching Band Christmas Parade Schedule 2011.
Oak Glen High School Marching Band finished their football season in recent time. They sounded absolutely wonderful, and are only getting better. With the season of Christmas now here, it is now time for local parades and festivities. The band will be marching in several parades, and helping us get into the holiday spirit with a medley of holiday tunes.
Here is the marching band's Christmas Parade Schedule:
If you attend any of these parades, you may see me there as well. I will be there taking photos, videos, and digital recordings of the band to be archived. If I get word that they will be participating in any parade not listed, I will add it.
Hope to see you there in support of our local band and legacy.
