Jeff Ream Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 On Wednesday afternoon, 200+ Tournament Of Bands students, parents and many members of the TOB administration and members of the National Judges Association invaded Jersey Surf's home rehearsal site, aka "Vokie" to rehearse for the 2011 TOB All Star Bands participation in the ABC6/Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade. The students come from all over TOB's region of PA, NJ, DE, WV and MD. In 4 short hours, these students came together to form a HUGE band that not only marched in the Parade, but also participated in the Grand Finale on the famed steps of The Philadelphia art Museum. If you've seen the Rocky movies, you know these steps. A huge thank you goes to the Hawthorne Caballeros for the use of some of their Tubas for the tuba section. The Cabs have been helping with this project since it's inception in 2009, and without their help from day one, this project would have struggled. On behalf of all of us with TOB,NJA and the All Star Band, A HUGE thank you to the Hawthorne Caballeros for all of your assistance with this project. Other sponsors and donors include: The Jersey Surf for facilities, bussing, food and equipment, Uniform accessories by DeMoulin Brothers, flags by Beck Design, guard uniforms by A Wish Come True, percussion sticks/mallets and matching Zildjian cymbals by Progressive Music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
