Marching Band, originally uploaded by k4hahn.

A great shot of the band at Homecoming!

Web 2.0 Challenge 9

Ok. The Skype challenge was definately more of a challenge for me just because I needed to find someone to use it with me. But low and behold....it is done. I am not sure how I could use this in band, but I know that it has been used at the college level to do applied lessons on instruments.

Web 2.0 Challenge 8

Everyone loves inspirational quotes...



I'm not sure how I could use this in Band, but I could see where it would be incredibly helpful in our Theory classes. I'll have to sit down with a cup of coffee one weekend (soon!) and experiment!

Even the Pros have bad days

This is an excerpt from the West Side Story studio recording. Bernstein comes close to completely losing it with Jose Carreras over rhythm. Ignore what Bernstein has in his mouth!!!! Unfortunately, embedding was disabled.

Web 2.0 Challenge 7

This is my first experience with Social Bookmarking...I think it will be very handy and something that I will use a lot. I'm not sure how exactly I will use it with my students, although there have already been times this year that kids have wanted to show me something online and we've had to search for it, so if they were "social bookmarked" we could have just went that route.
