Thanks to all the parents for the goodies you brought for the F&F Show! And thank you to our intrepid band camp chaperones. Thank you also to all the new parents for not thinking this group is totally nuts... We are a lot of fun... just wait you'll see! Susan S.

SENT 08/23/07 TO Mr. Ferranti, the MB Staff, and "THE" BAND

I had meant to thank Mr. Ferranti and the staff and congratulate the kids on all their hard work and a job well done but because Bill was too far away to feed me my lines I forgot. Sorry Bill, I'm sure you were over there
thinking ARGH, what is she thinking? So without further adieu I would just like to thank Mr. Ferranti and his staff for all their hard work and dedication. The sharing of your time and the guidance you gave not to mention the lessons you taught will always remain with your students; Thank You All! I would also like around of applause for the band. Very cool guys! Maybe you should teach the parents the button factory song? I know Mrs. Murray would love to learn it! The show sounds great and you all looked terrific. It's going to be an awesome season! See you Wednesday and every Friday....most Saturdays...second Tuesday's... well you get the picture! :) El Presidente (AKA Susan Santamaria)

SENT 08/23/08 TO The Marching Band

Hey kids, CONGRATULATIONS! The show was awesome! It was so easy to see, and hear, how hard you worked at band camp, CONGRATULATIONS FOR A JOB INCREDIBLY WELL DONE! Mr. E.
SENT 08/24/07 TO Katherine and Bops

Great work you two, your charges were FANTASTIC and you are to be commended for your leadership! Now get out there and go accomplish those goals you set! Mr. E.

SENT 08/24/07 TO Bops, Ray, and Jessica

You're the biggest little low-brass section, and YOU ROCK!!! Mr. and Mrs. E.

SENT 08/27/07 TO Everyone in the Band

A shout-out to everyone that I happen to randomly include:
Let’s start with drum line. DRUMLINE 0’7 yeah! We have been through so much already! We are strong and have a bunch to work on, but we can
do it! Everyone is so talented! Gary’s improvement over the past year is immeasurable! Katie is a beast being able to switch instruments like that and Kristi is awesome just because she hangs in there and because she is my sister. Ha-ha. And of course, Brian. Even though I am a pain in the rear most of the time (okay always), Brian deals with it and he is so talented that it is a shame we can’t have him play with drum line. He will still ALWAYS be a member, so we don’t have a four person drum line, we still have five!
All my new friends. Sam, great job, you sound awesome and you are a lot of fun. Alicia you are amazing and so crazy and cool. (I will try
to always have Chewy bars for you.) Katie, I mentioned you already but, you are so cool and talented, I look forward to the future years with you in drum line! Becky you are one cool girl and I don’t know you too well, but that will change. : Ed, you are awesome! I have never heard you complain and you are always happy and I like that. Chelsea, I heart you- you are a great person and friend and I am so happy I was able to talk you into joining. Ha-ha. John, you are really cool and you should be a plumber with how you fixed (5?) toilets in our cabin. Kevin is a cool guy, cool friend and I am glad to have you as a friend. If I forgot anyone, I am sorry.
The staff this year is amazing! Mark, I mean Mr. Richardson is always happy and puts everyone in front of himself, and he is an awesome dancer.
(I hope you were able to get all the glitter out. Sorry) Mrs. Bellew is amazing and also an awesome dancer with our dance to Karn Evil 9. Mr. MacDowell might think I am a little insane, but he is awesome anyway. (Hope your finger feels better.) Mrs. Valenti is an awesome singer and I will always try to play those songs for you on the quints,--Cupid’s Chokehold-- (I will have to think of other ones.) Mrs. Wichtendahl is cool and she has somehow been able to survive having to deal with all three Hahns in one year. She will help me do pranks all season, so watch out! Ferranti, ah, Mr. Ferranti. What can I write on here about him. He gave me my recent nickname that everyone calls me, Smashley, and I'd love to know how it came to be. And he is usually in the mood to joke around with me, so he has a good sense of humor which can be fun. Katherine, the drum major is awesome. WE CAN DO IT! -haha. Bops you are so talented and just to let you know, your foot exercise was stuck in my head for like an hour today.--(Feel the burn now!)
BAND IN TOTAL! I love all of you, you are all so talented. With the stress of upcoming school, band and life in general, I wrote this to keep
everyone peppy and pumped amisdt times where we can lose spirit! After all, people proclaimed that as my official job, the band cheerleader. Really though, we can and will succeed! Just for memories sake “YEAH BAND CAMP WOOO-HOOO”! Love, Smashley, the quint player

SENT 08/28/07 TO Everyone in Band
YOU'RE AMAZING! I had a AWESOME time at camp and I can't wait until the season starts, its gonna be sweet! I love the music and I'm so glad I joined this year! ITS SHOUT OUT TIME!!!
Nicole, Ed, Mike and Sam: Great job with the trumpets, I don't know how you guys do it! Nicole: I had so much fun eating with you, Cait, Alex and Becky ( I love you guys); the number 23 and that band will always follow us! Smashley, thanks for all the chewy bars, your wickedly awesome at the quint! Gary, your great and your fan club loves ya! Alex, Sarah & Chelsea: Thank you so much with helping me with guard, You guys rock! Robert: you just cool, man! Katherine, your just so nice and a great drum major! You and bops do the best exercises ever! And to the staff: you guys are all so patient and I'm so happy to be able to work with all of you! Ms. V & Mrs. Wichtendahl: You guys helped me so much in guard and you guys are just so cool! Ms. V, sorry I can't rhyme your name with something cool! A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR MAKING THIS AN AWESOME FIRST YEAR SO FAR! -Alicia :)

I just want to thank my Tiger Gram sellers....Lori Castello, our resident expert on all things band booster!; Howie Hirsch, model extraordinaire and all around great guy!; and Maureen Espaleta, the lean mean selling machine!

Next, the hospitality team...headed by Betty Crocker, no, I mean Lisa Blake, and assistance from her husband Chef Jim Boyardee, Regis, Iris, Linda, Mary, and Karen... (LOVED those oatmeal bars, and so did Bill!). You are ALL wonderful, Thank you for welcoming the visiting band and our kids so graciously and warmly. A special thanks to Iris Hirsch, she just does it all; what would I do with out you? Bill don't worry I would be sunk without ya! Ok thank you ALL, it is a blast spending time with you guys...lets do it again soon...say October 5 for Homecoming? Susan

SENT 09/15/07 TO Susan and Everyone Else
OK, what could I say that our illustrious leader didn't already say? More Importantly, what would I want to say that she didn't already say?! But anyway, just a quick fundraising shout out to everyone who pitched in last night; you know who you are! Thanks to you, we totaled over $350 last night, and it was kind of a slow night! And how about that Maureen; is she a pit bull with those Tiger Grams, or what? But a very nice pit bull! But thank you everyone! And we'll be looking forward to having the rest of you who didn't make it last night, to help at the next game on October 5... and you know who you are too! Bill Bill the Fundraising Pill

SENT 10/01/07 TO The Band
Hey gang, good effort at Somerville! Hang in there, your day will come! Have fun at homecoming! Mr. E.
