April/May Podcast Finally Posted

Well, we are a month late in getting last month’s (April) podcast posted and a week late for this month’s (May) podcast posted.  I had hoped to have it done by last night and the site that hosts our podcasts was having troubles and so I couldn’t get it to post.  After giving it 24 hrs. I tried it again and it is now posted.  So, check in iTunes for Episode 7 of From the Band Room.

Welcome to the Second Semester of 2009-2010!

Well, it’s been since the first part of December since we have had a blog post.  A lot has happened since that time including, Winter Break/Christmas and New Year’s, High School Assessments, and Final Exams.  Now we are ready for the downhill run to the end of the year as we begin our second semester tomorrow.

We have also been late at recording and posting January’s Podcast.  We had our first snow day when it was to be done and then we went right in to HSA’s and then Final Exams.  So, I was able to record just a quick little broadcast to bring everyone up to speed and then we will do a full show for February in a couple weeks.  So, for the latest podcast, visit us on I-tunes if you haven’t already and subscribe.  If you have already subscribed to our podcast, then simply refresh your list of podcasts and it should download automatically for you.

From the Band Room Becomes a Part of the I-Tunes Community

For those that want to keep up with our monthly Podcast series, “From the Band Room at Queen Anne’s County HS”, can now find us on I-Tunes and subscribe to get the newest episode each month with out having to do a thing.  Wednesday evening I created a podcast account on podOmatic.com, which allows us to have a live feed to subscribe to.  After completing that step, I was then able to submit a request to be a part of the I-Tunes Store on Thursday evening.  It then must be reviewed by I-Tunes for appropriate content and then be granted acceptance into the I-Tunes Community.  I received the e-mail from them today saying that we have been accepted.  This is an exciting step for us in providing information about the band program.

Below are the links to the two locations that the podcast can be found, podOmatic.com and the I-Tunes Store.

Episode Two of From the Band Room has finally posted!

From the Band Room – Episode Two – November 6, 2009

In this show we will take a look back at what the band accomplished in October. Brittany and Becca join me once again to bring our coming events. I will share more moments in both Classical Music History as well as Pop Music History. This month our spotlight is on the Freshman Concert Band as they go through one of their last rehearsals for the Veteran’s Day Ceremony that they will play for on November 11th in front of the Queen Anne’ s County Courthouse in downtown Centreville. The final selection also features that Queen Anne’s County Concert Choir as we did a combined rehearsal of the patriotic piece that we will perform together.
