Note: Red Tabs are new things...or at least they were when I added them...
Note #2: Check back here on Sundays because that is when I usually update. Now you can really have band 24/7!
"If you joined band only to win at tournaments, then you might be better off on an athletic team. Band is about more than just winning..." -Someba N. Dfreak
"Band" is the word. Emerald is the color.
Nostalgia. Do you have it? This should help.
Have a band page that you would like me to link to? Please email me giving me the address so I can take a look at it!
I am a feedback-aholic. If you have any kind of response or comment about my website, please email me! Thanks!

Newest Feature: Percussion Ensemble Photo Album and Recordings and Band Videos!
6/10/07: That's it! emerald06 is officially closed! With a video section finally added, this concludes another awesome year on the web. Thank you for all of your support and please spread the word about next year's website: emerald07! (Link not available until August 2007.) Plus, be sure to catch the Concert Percussion Ensemble at lunch in the N-quad on Wed, June 13th and at the band concert on Thur, June 14th! Goodbye and I'll see you next year!
Sincerely, macgyversfriend
12/31/06: In life, all things have a beginning and an end. Change is what allows life itself to exist! With the end of the year just hours away, I must let change take its course and abandon the website until next year's marching season. I really hope my efforts have come to mean something, because I did it all for the band (for the better or worse!). Here are this year's totals: over 1000 pictures, 20 sound clips, over 6000 words on the Log, 18 photo albums, and a grand total of 29 pages. My plans do not include making things bigger, but rather better. In that mindset, I really have my work cut out for me. Thanks for all of your support online and out on the field. I owe it all to my friends, the true rewards of being in the band. See you next year!
8/12/06: "Band Ten Hut!" and welcome to my unofficial PHS Emerald Brigade website! Just like last year, I'm all set to take pictures throughtout our upcoming marching season so keep checking back for new photo albums! I have plans for other features as well so look forward to them too. I'm writing this two days before band camp starts and I can't wait. We're going to have another great season everyone! -macgyversfriend
Important! Please Read! Dear reader: I sincerely ask that you do not take credit for my pictures, sounds, or anything else on my website. I have worked very hard online and out in the field to set this all up. As I have always said, you are allowed to save any of my pictures as long as you give me credit if you plan to use them in presentations, your own website, or in public where other people can see them. Not that my pictures are good enough for you to want use them, just thought I'd cover all basis. Thank you for respecting my work...

Would you like to get updates about my Emerald Brigade Website every month? Well, I decided to start compiling an emailing list so that I can contact all of you now and then. I plan to send out one email to everyone at the beginning of each month that will include site updates and plans. I have already sent an email out for September and will re-send once I get more people's email addresses. If you would like to get on my Band mailing list, please email me specifying your name, instrument, and grade level. Thanks for all of your support!
