THAT WYLIE BUGLE

Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. - Charlie Parker

Congrats on the MOST memorable trip I have ever been a part of. I know you will have fond memories for a lifetime. Below is a video that includes some of your pictures & videos. I could not include ALL of your photos & videos, or it would be a couple hours long.

• TWB was named - Best Intermediate (ages 14-18) Band of the Parade!
  

• Turn in your piano accompaniment to your solo...we know who you are.
  
• Check that you have your original (purchased), NOT A COPY.
