marshamello Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 YEA! comes to the rescue again! From the YEA! Site: Texas band calls on YEA! for help It seemed like Gallagher had barely closed his eyes when the call from Cory Black came Saturday morning. The former assistant director of the Odessa High School Marching Band from Odessa, Texas, was traveling with the band on their dream spring trip to Washington, D.C. and New York when the storm hit. Directed by Bill Hardin, the band had performed at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., then spent several days touring in New York. What had been a spectacular week of weather came to an end the day the USSBA member band was planning to return to Texas. "All our flights were cancelled," said Black. The change in schedule left the band without transportation to and from their hotel in Hasbrouk Heights, N.J., to the airport. Added to a normal six-month reservation time for charter buses, the weather and traffic wasn't helping matters. But a call to YEA! and Gallagher's (YEA! Transportation Director) subsequent call to connections in the charter bus industry, and the Odessa band was on the road. Saddle River Tours answered the cry for help on Saturday, taking sections of the band to the airport. Then on Sunday and Monday a loyal, 12-year driver for the Cadets offered to assist. As of Monday, Black was still in New York waiting for a flight with the last group of band members. "Everyone has been absolutely great," Black said. "The Hilton hotel, Air Tran who actually chartered a flight for one group and several other airlines have helped out. But, we were calling so many charter bus companies and nothing. I had the idea to call Tim. I knew they had a camp nearby and they had buses. In 20 minutes, we had buses. It was an incredible turnaround and we are so thankful to them."

rai-mello Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I love all this great talk about helping people. It seems that today, all you hear about is bad stuff in drum corps (electronics, hoppy's rules, etc.) and in the real world (the war) but this. This is nice. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
