NORTHWOOD MARCHING CHARGERS CAPTURES TOP SPOT 2ND WEEK IN A ROW















1st things 1st. Best wishes to Sabrina, Kalaindie & Lauren. For those of you not at the Sanford competition yesterday, these 3 young ladies injured their ankles. I hope they all recover quickly and are able to participate in next weeks competition at North Davidson. Good luck girls!!

CONGRATULATIONS to our Marching Charger Band for taking 1st place in Division AA yesterday in Sanford. It was a great performance on a very "messy" field. Mud was the standard. We all felt so sorry for every band due to the conditions they had to perform in. They did extremely well in adverse conditions. We are proud of the students and the show they put on.

The Marching Chargers took 1st place in most of the captions and scored an 81 for a rating of Superior. For the 2ND week in a row, they were crowned "Champions" in Class AA. "Way to go Chargers".

Cottrell proved to the crowd that he has the "Best Looks" one week after taking the top prize of being the "Ugliest" guy on the field. We have a very versatile leader. Congratulations Cottrell!! You are the BEST, regardless of your looks!

We all have one more opportunity to see the 2007-2008 Marching Charger Band perform this years program. This will be next Saturday @ North Davidson High School. I encourage you to make plans to be there.


Senior Class. I beg you to soak up this weeks events. After four hard and very rewarding years, your high school marching band career is coming to a close. We want you to know you have made us PROUD. Thank you for all you have given to your school and community.


To all of you. My desire is for you to enjoy the memories on this blog for years to come.

Way to go Marching Chargers!!!






I just have to tell you how proud I am of all of you for the effort you put forth yesterday! An extra special thanks to all of the band parents that continue to make our days run smoothly! Only two more to go! Let's work hard together to end this year with a BANG!

I am so proud to be your band director : ) Do me a favor and keep these memories close to your heart forever. It will have immediate effects in squashing the apathy that I have witnessed for years at Northwood and these memories will make you smile 5, 10 and 20 years down the road! MrC
