VORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at this show in 1970 as a 4 year old, watching then-PHS director Kandy Schoenholz lead my freshman bass trombone playing brother and the rest of "The Pride" through their paces. I have the old programs from back then, which of course, would be a VALUABLE addition to the Vore Book of Lore. Get...Vore's Book of Lore. Oh I kill me.

Jeeeeeeeeeeez...1970???

Some of the band parents nowadays weren't even born in 1970.

Is there a bridge nearby I can jump off of????

I marched in the Chaffey HS Band Pageant in the fall of 1963 as the trumpet section leader of the Anaheim HS Band.

The top band at the event in 1963 was:

Pasadena HS - Benton Minor, Director

I was the drum major of the Anaheim HS Band in the fall of 1964 when we marched in the Chaffey HS Band Pageant. The band review was held in the morning and the field tournament at night. We were thrilled to win the Field Show Sweepstakes that evening.

The top three bands at event in 1964 were:

Anaheim HS - Don Wilcox, Director
Arcadia HS - Ron Hoar, Director
Grossmont HS - Jim Nichols, Director

And yes.... I HAVE THE PROGRAMS FROM THE 1960's!

Ryan, I need to borrow your programs for the book....

OK ... Ryan was 5-6 years old when I marched Chaffey and I was 5-6 years old when vore marched Chaffey. I sense a pattern ... LOL
And ... personally I think The Book is more like the Volume of Books at this point. Chaffey will be in its 60th year when said Book is published at this rate.

So you're an optimist.

I'm thinking 60th decade.

THE BOOK will make Stephen King's unabridged "The Stand" look like a newsletter.

More like a tri-fold brochure...

It is so awesome to see so much history here! Hopefully that will encourage some more groups to come on out and join us on November 8th, to be a part of it! Oh for those of you that remember, Jim Downs is still our voice of the Tigers by the way!

My goodness... Jim is STILL there? He was annoncing the shows back in the 1980's. His daughter played trombone in my youth band way back then, along with several other Chaffey kids.

Hey Steve, poke your head in the band room some Monday night an say hi. I play in Jack's tuba section.

As long as we're all remembering the Chaffey Tournament, here's my 2 cents... The 1965 Chaffey Band Review was the first parade I ever marched in and my high school band had a very good day as we won the parade sweepstakes award. The trophy is STILL on display in the trophy cabinet in the band room. Marching on beautiful Euclid Ave was very impressive for a young high school sophomore (my high school was a 3 year school back then). The LAST time I marched the band review was in 1972 as a member of the Cal State Long Beach "Big Brown Music Machine". We were the guest band and marched the parade in the morning and the field show in the afternoon. Marching the parade was pretty tramatic for me because I was the right guide in the first rank and our director, Larry Curtis, marched right next to me and could hear every blessed note I played. We only had a day or two to learn the march (Big Red Machine by Bill Hill) and I only had it memorized up to the trio. I guess I did a pretty good "fake" job with the end of the march because I'm still alive to tell this story. Talk about PRESSURE!!!

Anaheim HS - Don Wilcox, Director
Arcadia HS - Ron Hoar, Director
Grossmont HS - Jim Nichols, Director

That's so crazy...

-Don Wilcox gave a clinic to my high school band that I still remember vividly to this day...

-Ron Hoar was my concert band director up at the Wildwood Music Camp in Arrowhead (or Big Bear, wherever) for the two years I went.

-My first high school gig was taking over Jim Nichols' job at Southwest HS when he retired. He showed me some videotapes of his Grossmont band and some highlights from when he was there.

Small world after all...
