[hellyeahmarchingarts]

One of our color guard performers at Blue Devils B has gone missing since around 3:00 pm today. She was last seen at her home in San Jose and she attends Westmont High School. As of yet she hasn’t responded to any attempts to contact her.

Please please please help us find this beautiful and talented girl by sharing this to everyone you know! If you see or hear anything about Haley Duarte, please contact the above Instagram accounts or myself immediately, we all just want to see her go home to her family safe and sound.

Thank you for all your help in advance, her family and all of us at the Blue Devils organization greatly appreciate it. #findhaley

Hey, everyone! I’m back from my hiatus! I know I said I wouldn’t be back for a while, but something important came up and I think the tumblr community still feels very strongly about this. Some of you may remember my blog post from about 6 months ago about the neighbors of my high school and how they treat the band: http://oh-yeah-marching-band.tumblr.com/post/103908813624/please-help-spread-the-word-this-needs-to-stop

Well, today, one of the neighbors called the cops as she was walking down the street with a small child (not even at her house) and came into the parking lot while on her phone still right in front of the band parents as the band was taking parade laps for the upcoming Memorial Day parade. Here’s the rest of the story:

Today was the first time playing outdoors since the last neighbor incident. We were outside in the daylight at about 3:50pm (NOT 9pm). This was one last rehearsal to try to get used to the heat and marching after 6 months off from marching and getting some first timers used to playing and moving in parade formation. Unfortunately, it was cut a bit short by a visit from one of the neighbors and then the cops. The cop was just doing his job. We decided to just go inside and pack up while the band director talked to the police officer.

We were playing a medley of America the Beautiful, God Bless America, The Star Spangled Banner, and other patriotic favorites. Such a great arrangement done by our very own band director.

With that being said, please come show your support this Sunday at Rahway’s annual Memorial Day Parade! We’d love to see your smiling faces. Sure, many kids our age would rather be partying, going to the beach, or just hang around and be lazy, but our students feel honored to be invited to march and would rather perform in this parade each year to honor those who have served and sacrificed their lives to make ours possible. It is just our way of giving thanks and carrying on a tradition set and based off of military bands from even before our country existed. None of this seems like a crime to me. #SaveTheRahwayMarchingBand

Hey guys! For those who don’t know, I have received a contract to march mellophone with Pioneer! It’s a pretty recent thing, so I haven’t had a lot of time to save up. I would really appreciate any help! Move ins are in less than a week!

[hellyeahmarchingarts]

Hey guys, I don’t always like asking people for money, but I’ve only got a couple more days to get some more funds for drum corps. If anyone has the opportunity to help out a marcher whether it be me or someone else, we all appreciate whatever help we can get. Thanks for the read. If you can’t donate, maybe reblog this so that someone else who might be able to help, can. Thanks again!

Snare position available with The Blue Stars this summer. Contact Eric Shriver for more details.

DRUM CORPS WORLD.

My name is Jacob Kingsley and I am the trumpet tech and visual tech for the new open class drum corps called Freedom, based out of OKC. If you or anyone you know want to give drum corps a shot, we still have MANY spots open. We are in desperate need for high brass and color guard.

If you have any questions please ask me. Thank you.

In case you missed it, I’ve been contracted with Pioneer for the 2015 season! This will be the first time I’ve been back on the field since the Racine Scouts cut their season short in 2012 and I am so excited to have this opportunity to march again! If you could donate or share this page, I would appreciate it so much!
