We're No Awa Tae Bide Awa....

I can't believe it.  It's Graduation Week(end)....  Saying "farewell" to our boys in the Class of 2011 is going to be a tough one!  We had another year of measurable growth within the band and can easily identify the footprints of our seniors.  They rolled up their sleeves, lead with confidence, and provided us with hours of entertainment.

They have such bright futures!!!

Here's what I know so far....

Zach Mauer....United States Merchant Marine Academy, King's Point
Charles Lauer....United States Naval Academy, Annapolis
Russell Baghdadi...United States Military Academy, West Point
Christopher Braganolo...University of Illinois at Chicago
Joseph Miller...University of Mississippi (Ole Miss)
Max Devine...University of West Florida
Ian Blecker...University of Arizona
Honorable Mention to Marcellus Johnson (had to leave piping to be the school's First Captain!)...DePaul University

I haven't heard final choices from the others...but will give them due recognition once I have!

I am going to stock up on the kleenex....we'll be a mess next Friday and Saturday.

For we're no' awa' tae bide awa', 
For we're no' awa tae le'e ye, 
For we're no' awa' tae bide awa', 
We'll aye come back an' see ye.
