My drum corps history started with 5 years of playing Euphonium/Soprano in DCI Div III. After returning to teach for a few years, I took a short break from the activity and now play Bari/Euph with 2 DCA Alumni Corps and the current DCA Brass Ensemble champions.

I also take action photos at many marching arts events (DCI/DCA/NECGC/LMBA/etc) in the WNY/PA/OH regions. They're all available for free on Flickr, so check it out to see if I've caught any of you.

Well, it looks like Bluesky doesn't want me posting on their service. It's too bad, as there are many interesting people on there that aren't on Mastodon.

Whoever named "Inspiration Point" at #Letchworth knew what they were talking about. It's beautiful, especially at this time of the year. I wish the same person had named the park's waterfalls. "Upper Falls", "Middle Falls", and "Lower Falls" just don't awaken one's imagination in the same way. #waterfall #fall #oversaturated

I never realized until last week that a double rainbow has reversed colors. Vib G. Yor. Here's a few of my pics as proof, and there's an explanation at https://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/climate-weather/atmospheric/double-rainbows-rare.htm #waterfall #rainbow #doublerainbow
How rare are double rainbows?

A double rainbow, man! Just the sight of one can send us babbling into happiness. And why not? Rainbows are beautiful. And two rainbows at the same time? Even better. But just how rare are these colorful arcs?

I bought this 16 CD set from the Buffalo Library's book sale last year, and tonight seems like a good time to start enjoying it. The force was strong with this one.

What’s the difference between gray and grey?

One is a color and the other is a colour.

If SCV ever decides to do a remake of their 2015 Tesla show, they need to add a Tesla Coil like this into their Pit. Bonus points if the arcs of electricity hit the tubas. #drumcorps

Wait, NORAD tracks my sleigh? In real-time?! This is outrageous! I never gave permission for this!

Goodness gracious, all I want to do is break into your houses and leave gifts relative to how good I think you’ve been, which I’ve been tracking meticulously in my book along with your constant whereabouts and sleeping patterns.
