ZAHS advanced band performs at Grandberry Mall

Zama American High School’s advanced band played for the first time in a local foreign national concert venue May 22 at Grandberry Mall.

Kevin Hanson, Zama American School band teacher, said he has been here nine years and they have been unable to find a venue off-base.

“For this performance opportunity, we had to send a video of the band to be asked/accepted to play,” said Hanson.

The symphonic band of 41 students played a variety of music to include some Disney movie themed music, Batman’s theme song and the Mission Impossible movie theme song.

Hanson said the mall manager was watching the crowd and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

“We were invited to come back anytime,” said Hanson.

I had exactly 45 minutes to set up the camera, figure out the remote, PS the layers and upload. Obviously I can't decide what to do with the face in the mirror, which I like. Later today I will try this again in more light. I wanted to do a dark shot first b/c it's more forgiving.

THANKS EARL for the remote. This wouldn't be possible without it.

I found the exit

8-12/365

first time I've ever fried bone in chicken. It was tastey but it took FOREVER.

And happy me, after a succesful trip. A nice lady with a child took my photo. Ferry is just coming in behind me.

Vacation to Tenerife in January

Or Noah's title: Has your child hugged the earth lately.

I can't believe I have lived in the Bay Area my entire life and this was the first time I have ever been on Cal Train.

Have to say, it is great and I will be jumping on that line more often now that I know how wasy (and comfortable) it is.

I have been threatening to take these two skating for a while, and they finally pushed me too far. I made them have fun tonight - of course now they want to go back.

Turns out that I didn't need the pillow strapped to my backside. In fact in the barrel jumping competition, I won eventhough I only cleared 11.

I was really good at the spinning and twirling stuff. It just kinda happens naturally when you start falling.

North bedroom - great windows that look out onto the backyard.
