Inaugural Story Continues

Here's a link for you broadband people to the first TV news report on the band. Unfortunately, they kept saying the band was from Redwood City - it's actually Redwood Middle School from Saratoga!

Look for the trombone player with the blue t-shirt -- that's Ben. There's both a frontal shot and a longer shot of him from behind.

Also, at the winter concert tonight, channel 5 was filming. I'll link to their video if they put it online.

BTW, I'm not worried about Ben and the cold. It's been close to freezing here for the past week and he's still wandering around in a t-shirt and shorts!

Ben's Thrilling Story

Saratoga's Redwood Middle School Marching Band will be in the Inaugural Parade in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 20, 2009. Even for a band accustomed to taking home first-place trophies, an invitation to this parade is a pretty big honor.

Ben plays the trombone in the band, one of his many instruments (saxophone, guitar, and piano).
