Of crotales & a piccolo xylophone



I returned from a weekend in Galena and need to add one more thank-you.

Rob P, Britt's (age-out '07) Dad decided to come and help with projects. The projects couldn't be defined until Sunday - it is Drum Corps after all.

Between 9 and 5 on Sunday, Rob (with help from Loras H and Luba) learned what needed to be done, made his designs, purchased the needed material, and built a mount for the piccolo xylophone AND 3 crotales cases that were based upon Jim H's prototype. A huge task for two days, but totally awesome for one day.

What's a crotales? That's what I asked, so I put a picture of one above.

In addition to David's thanks to the school staff, I want to add that without the assistance of the school staff it would have been almost impossible to complete these projects.

Thank you Galena custodians - you are among the best that I've known!
