     Watertown High School Band- the school and the community can be very proud of your accomplishments. Earning the right to perform at halftime of a major bowl game on New Years Day,  is something to be very proud of. Planning for a trip like this takes more work and time than one can imagine.

     Traveling to Cape Canaveral, Ybor City, The Spaghetti Warehouse, taking part in the The Outback Bowl Parade made for a very full week. I can easily say that all of the students were very polite and friendly at all times. Early in the morning or late at night, adults and students, you were a pleasure to travel with.

     Three buses went to Florida, but as drivers of  Bus #3, Gene a I tried to make your trip as enjoyable as possible. We hope to see you again in the future. If you see us on the street or someplace, be sure to say HI.

This is your bus driver…”Bear” from bus number 2. Even though we had the status of number two in bus order, your rank outscored the other two coaches in all other categories by leaps and bounds. With the exception of one time at the International Mall, our coach always called into say that we were loaded and ready to go!

When I had the opportunity to talk to you as a group while waiting close to two hours on the interstate for an accident to clear, we talked about “RESPECT”. Watertown Band, through your actions over the duration of your trip, you have given me the greatest respect for you, your parents, your band leaders and your community. You guys are AWESOME!!!

We knew that sometime during our travel we would have some adversity …my expectations of you were never in doubt. Did I really lead my co-drivers to Hamburger Mary’s? I don’t think so…anyway.

Congrats on your great performances and first place finishes at Jefferson H.S., the Outback parade and an experience you will never forget, your performance at half time show at the Outback Bowl game in Tampa.  I will always have fond memories of a great trip.

Highest regards to your bright future and I hope to see you again soon. You’ve earned my respect and next time we meet you can look me square in the eye and call me “Bear.”

PS. I’m sure Duane, the lead driver for coach 2, (the Duaneanator) echoes my thoughts.

Wow – what a great trip.  Bus 1 you were awesome.  Thanks for everything.  You were all so much fun.  And thanks for doing such a fantastic job of keeping our newest coach exceptionally clean.  It was an honor for our company to be associated with your group – especially after the trophies that you won.  Congratulations to the concert band and the orchestra for taking first place in your divisions, you should all be proud to represent your school.  Many, many thanks to your directors and chaparones for making this all possible.

I must say that I did have some new experiences on this tour.  As you all know we as drivers like to have fun.  We tease each other, for example drinking two quarts of milk in 18 minutes is bound to have negative repercussions with one’s digestive track.  And we will have fun teasing a co-driver about that.  But going to Hamburger Mary’s is a new experience that perhaps tops the infamous dairy escapade.  And so as a driver my hat is off to fellow driver Barry for taking all of us drivers to places we have never been before – and in fact will likely not go to in the future!  We now have more material for great travel stories!!

Thanks to our great group of sophomores on board coach number 1  located near the sleeper berth.   We really appreciated you all being so quiet – and putting up with a major amount of verbal punishment from me!  Ha!  And to our seniors on board best of luck through the remainder of this school year and into your future.  I am sure you will all go onto great things.

Finally I must thank the directors again for their trust in us.  We are so thankful to be associated with you – keep up the great work.  Watertown Band and Orchestra Rocks!
