It was the final Spring Choir/Band Concert of the year....remember, this is a very big deal and rightly so...Sam is the baritone/tuba player extroidinaire! I am not sure I spelled that correctly, but you know what I mean. Anyway, Sam has been working VERY hard all year to be able to play in Jazz band - which by the way has only a couple of freshman in it - and he was making his big debut tonight. I have to admit, the Jazz band is pretty darn AWESOME! They only practice a couple of times a week, but they are great.
Me, at the concert. No, I am not making a face about how the band sounds. Brett caught me just before a sneeze or something. Who says I can't laugh at myself! If you can't be photogenic...be this.
Slick Sam, the baritone man.
Miriam and someone who shall remain nameless (cause I don't know his name) on the xylophone thingy...They were pretty impressive. The mallets were blurry, they were moving so fast!
Pretty cool.
Sam in his Jazz band gear. I appreciate that Mr. Ekhardt makes them dress up, it is the only time I see Sam in something other than a t-shirt.
Normally, Sam wears a silver studded belt with his black pants, but he opted out and wore his black chucks instead. They are his "dress" shoes.
more baritone
The whole group - choir and band and teachers.
Oregon High School ranks # 3 in the STATE of Illinois in music. They earn points in band, marching, choir, soloist and ensemble pieces. It is pretty impressive when you think of the size of some of the schools in Illinois (think Chicago) that these kids ranked #3. Oregon High School is about 600 kids.
GO HAWKS!!!

Nice! I'll make sure to let Jeff know he needs to check out the stylin' "dress" shoes (he got married in a pair much like that :)!! Way to go, Sam!
So cool!
Woohoo!! Go, Sammy!!! :D *screams wildly* (because I'm a crazed fan, that's why!)
