Everyone in Copiague wishes the Crusaders, especially the Copiague kids a great weekend in Scranton. John Wevers Band Director Copiague High School

I talk to my kids at Copiague, I talk to Donny at least once a day and Mike Linton every other day. I watch the posts here and I know that Cru is onto something very special this year. I think that you guys have a lot of tension and pent up emotion that is about to burst. I encourage everyone to take deep breath's at every availablement moment. Spend some quality time with yourselves and think of ten things that each of you can do this weekend to improve your individual show and to work together as a team. I always tell my kids that they really don't about each other and what it means for that year's band until the first show when the crowd reacts to you. That's the time that you begin to grow together as a team and as a family. It is a week away for the return to the field performance of the Crusaders. Go on a crusade. Make converts along the way. Make people notice just who you are. Most of all, become one. Become strong. Be proud! (I'm off my soap box, now) Have a great week! John Wevers Band Director Copiague High School

I want to add onto what Donny said about Tom Anderson....he's been with my Band mostly since 1997....the only two years he was away were a disaster for our Band.....he's probably the most musical percussionist I've ever worked with. He grew up under the tutelege of Tony Ambrogio...once of Sun....and they won the TOB ACC Drum Award five years running....from there Tom was in the Cadets drumline and won the big one at DCI in Buffalo...so long ago. He brings a world of expereince as a professional musician and as a drumline writer. Copiague owes him a world of gratitude for all he has meant to our Band. I know that he'll be a huge help to you guys. Make the most of your time with him John Wevers Band Director Copiague High School

Hey to the Cru Crew....Have a great weekend. I know that the Copiague kids are truly psyched to get back up to rehearsal. Thats all I heard today......I'm looking forward to hearing the corps play in two weeks down here at Tanner Park on June 4/5.
