PARADE INFORMATION SNAKES ON A PLANE WARNING AND OTHER JUICY TIDBITS.....
SOAP (Snakes on a Plane) WARNING
Hello Band Blog readers,
As many of you know, I have been hyping SNAKES ON A PLANE for the past few weeks. It has occurred to me that I should warn everyone that snakes on a plane (The coolest movie in the world even though I have not seen it yet) may not be cool for everyone to see. I just found out that the movie is rated "R" and that there is swearing, limited nudity, and lots of death by snakebite in it. Kids, make sure your parents know what you are going to see if you go tonight. Let it be known that SoaP is not sanctioned, recommended or suggested viewing by HHS bands in any way. Having said that... ON TO THE REAL INFORMATION...
PARADE INFORMATION:
Date:August 19th, 2006
Report time:10:30am at the Howell Police Department parking lot (The street closes at 11:00 am, so don't be late!!)
Band room opens: 9:30am for anyone who needs to get in there....
Parade starts: 12:00 noon
Uniform: The new band shirt (these will be distributed AT THE PARADE SITE), Khaki Shorts, White socks, Tennis shoes (Preferably white).
Water will be distributed after the parade at the parking lot across from CITIZEN's INSURANCE.
For those curious, I also provided a picture of the shirt design (we are using one of the new Howell Logos)
Good luck, and sorry if my SoaP warning keeps any of you bandos from getting to see the movie tonight.
Smigell
p.s. other information about the season and a calendar can be found 2 posts back from this one ;)

You want to be a squad leader, make the time.
3. You may not have any other commitments that interfere with the practices and performances of the Howell High School Marching Band. Regular members, maybe. Squad leaders, no way.

OK... Take 2, This is a blog entry from over 4000 miles away!!! I am writing you from Krakow, POland! I have been traveling for the past couple of weeks! Here are the highlights:
I went on a cruise to the bahamas and key west florida. I caught a 3 foot baracuda fishing in the florida keys and I won $200 playing blackjack on the boat!!! (All skill, no luck of course!!!)
I snorkeled over a coral reef in the bahamas and I learned a new djembe beat from the captain of the boat. They have Bahamas/jamaican marching band. The music is called "junkanoo" (pronounced zshuh-kay-noo). It is really out of tune, but makes up for it in spirit and butt kicking factor!!!
I am now in poland for the next week and I will end my trip in Vienna, Austria. This year is the 250th birthday of his highness, Wolfgang amedeus mozart. There are supposedly 4 or five concerts a day of really really good mozart in vienna. I plan on listening to a lot of it....
Bottom line: If you are in band or percussion class, you will be exposed to Caribbean and or/mozart Music next year in some way (Trust me, it will be fun and inspiring!!!)
Poland is very inexpensive and beautiful!! The people speak polish, a little english and a little german, so I am doing ok (polish is very very hard to learn). I got an incredible meal with drinks for 40 zloty $1.00 = 3.08 zloty). It would have cost 25 or 30 bucks in the US. For instance, I am at the equivalent of LAN lords in poland, and it costs 5 zloty per hour. WHAT A VALUE!!!!
I have been thinking about this coming year. And I want you to know that I am very excited!!! I know I say this every year, but I mean it every year. The classes all have enough talent to run, and I feel very energized right now. I am VERY THANKFUL for the work that has already been put in by the minions over the summer. We will be having several more band wrokdays througout july and august. If you are interested, email me at smigellj@howellschools.com and I will include you on the "DL".
I also wanted to let everone know that the new booster board ROCKS. I cannot wait to work with them next year.
Ok.. so that is about it... it is time for the next world cup game. In Poland, they take thier Soccer, and wodka very seriously (I am only watching both, of course ;)

Greetings all blog-o-licious bandos and their parents, and welcome to this entry of my blog! Here is all the most up-to-date information and news pertaining to the Howell High School band program:
PAST: When you look back on it, we have had an above average year. I would give it about a "B" grade. Some really fantasic things, and some disapointing things (nothing ever seems to be in the middle around here). Not bad at all, but we can do better. I would really like to thank the seniors for a particularly good job this year. They displayed leadership, creativity, and integrity all year long. Hats off! Speaking of hats off, yesterday, the memorial day parade was a scorcher. It is always a tough call to make on whether or not to wear full uniform when it is going to be that hot outside. At the time of the decision, the forcast was for the mid eighties. It ended up being in the low nineties! The kids were so strong through the entire parade and ceremony. I was very proud of them.
PRESENT:
-Awards banquet is tonight at 6pm in the high school cafeteria. If you want to come for the awards but not the meal, you can show up around 6:45pm.
-Flag tryouts are today after school in the high school band room. Good luck!
-Squad leader clinic is today and the squad leader test will be held this wednesday.
-Graduation band will play on Sunday, June 4th. Report time is 1:20pm. The performance at graduation is considered the final exam for the band class. If you come to graduation, you will be exempt from the final and do not have to come to that protion of exam day. If you do not attend, you will need to attend the exam and do the makeup assignment (TBA).
FUTURE: Band camp money is due June 9th. If you have problems getting the money in by that time, please call Mr. Smigell (517) 540 8001 or email Mr. Smigell smigellj@howellschools.com before the deadline.
-Band camp is August 7-11, 2006.
-New marching band member clinic is august 4th
-MANDATORY Squad leader clinic is august 3rd
Hope this helps!
-Smigell

Ok people, Some of you are wondering... WHAT'S WITH ALL THE SAXOPHONES?
Well.. Seeing that we are really short on horns in this group, some of the saxes will become "Saxahorns"
Could there be errors? Yes... Is it likely? No... Things were veryu competetive in the flutes, saxophones, and flutes... oh, and the flutes. Several of the flutes and saxophones qualified for symphonic band but still did not make it because of former wind ensemble people taking their spots. If you are happy, congratulations, keep it to yourself and be classy. If you are upset, come talk to me.

OH MY GOD THE MARCHING MUSIC JUST CAME IN AND IT IS TOTALLY SSSSSSWWWWEEEEEEET!
HOLY SSSSSMMMMMOOOOKES!!!!!
Our festival show this year..... (Drum Roll) IS THE INCREDIBLES!! For once, Hal Leonard has done justice to good music and written a fantastic arrangement for this great music!!!
EVERYONE IS GONE TO POOP THEIR PANTS WHEN THEY HEAR THIS MUSIC.
THE CROWD WILL BE THROWING CASH, FLOWERS, AND BABIES!
This on top of the fact that this already has been dubbed the first of "THE THREE GOLDEN YEARS"!!
We have the talent... We have the drive... The ship has come in... As far as the people part of the equation goes, EVERY aspect of the Howell High School Band program
(Marching Band, Concert Ensembles, Percussion, Tech, Irish, Jazz, Flags, Majorettes, Solo and ensemble, private lessons...
DID I MENTION THAT THE MUSICAL IS THE MUSIC MAN THIS YEAR!!! If you had to chose the best musical to play if you were in pit band, Music man would be in the top five!!
WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!
DID I MENTION THAT WE ARE GOING ON A TRIP THIS YEAR!?!?!?!?!?
I AM GOING INSANE!!!!!!
OK.. I'm feeling a little better.
We have two things standing in our way.
#1. Cash. Prepare to fundraise A LOT this year. Mitch Ryder set us back a bunch (It was nobody's fault, it just happended that way).
#2. Ourselves. Last year was not a bad year, but it wasn't one of our best. THE BAND PLANETS HAVE ALL ALIGNED (don't worry, I'm not actually into astrology). THIS YEAR COULD, AND SHOULD BE THE GREATEST YEAR HHSB HAS HAD IN 30 years!! EVERY PERSON NEEDS TO HAVE PASSION AND DRIVE! If we have a little drive, a little passion, and a little cash.
GAME OVER!!! BAND TAKES OVER THE WORLD!!!
Actual information, calenders, and schedules to follow very soon.
Peace out,
Smigell

HOWEL HIGH BANDS "FALSE ALARM" EDITION OF THE BAND BLOG!!!
Don't get too excited yet, folks! I just wanted to post this to let you know that I am still working on the audition placements. My dog had unexpected surgery again and I had to go out of town for a day as well, so things got pushed back a bit. I hope to have them done as well as some work on upcoming events as well. I hope that this break is as restful and regenerative or you as it has been for me. I CAN'T WAIT to get back in the saddle and actually start making music!!! If I get the placements done in time (along with all my other work, I've been coming in pretty regurlarly this week to get stuff done), I will make sure to post them.

ALRIGHT PEOPLE, TIME TO SUCK IT UP AND DO THE BEST WE CAN!!!
I have to admit, I was a little alarmed when I heard that there was no school today. It is not the end of the world, however. We will do the best we can, that is all that can be asked of us.
Tomorrow and Friday, we will be doing a festival runthrough in all bands. This will consist of:
1. a brief warm up
2. a runthrough of the songs
3. a sight reading practice.
BE READY TO GO!!! THERE WILL BE NO PATIENCE FOR THE NORMAL SHENANIGANS!

LET THERE BE PEACE ON THE NET!!!
Ok folks, for those of you who are regular visitors, this is an opinion entry, not an informational one. It is related to what is becoming a nasty little war on some of my student's blogs.
I must admit that I got sucked in and read it along with everyone else. It was the same part of me that turns to look at gruesome car wrecks on the highway and contribute to the gawker jams that result.
Listen people, there are some pretty hurtful things that are being traded back and forth, and although it was initially amusing, no good can come from further exchanges:
1. We are about to draw heat from the local press... I could just see this ballooning into something stupid that gets put on the local news. You know those tv people love to air crap like this!!! Just look back to the diversity flag fiasco and the KKK robe scandal. None of that was that big of a deal, but people love to look at other people's dirty laundry. I can just see it now: HOWELL CONTINUES TO DEMONSTRATE HATE.... THIS TIME IN CYBERSPACE. Is this what is really happening? No, but they don't care.
2. The band program is loosley connected to this whole thing because the warring factions are in band.
3. It is going to start interferring with class... not to mention people relations.
Mike, if you read this, I respect your right to free speech, but you need to be careful. With that freedom comes responsibility. Lawsuits have been started over less. If you really wanted it to be private, you would have used that option on the blog dashboard. I think you are a good person. You're better than this. You're probably surprised by aall the fuss. Settle your differences face to face and people will respect you more
Joe and anyone else that has been responding angrily: Just stop reading it. Haven't you figured out that he wants you to be mad and respond to him? As I said with Mike, you guys are better than this. I know I laughed at what was being written, but I realized quickly after that that was wrong. Nothing good is going to come from this.
THE BIG POINT TO GET HERE: It is very easy to say bad things on the internet because it is not face to face. I have made some pretty massive mistakes this way, so I speak from experience.
SOME TIPS TO KEEP FROM GETTING TOO MEAN ON THE NET:
1. Save your post as a draft, wait an hour or two then read it again before you post. You frequently will edit what you wrote, or delete it all together.
2. NEVER PUT ANYTHING UNTRUE ABOUT SOMEONE... Even if it is a joke, you are crossing over into defamation, which is illegal.
3. RESPONDING JUST MAKES EVERYONE MORE ANGRY AND ESCALATES THE CONFLICT.
You know that I don't usually get involved in students' private lives, but by posting all of this on the net, you have made it public. Everyone take a deep breath and be at peace.
