The Falcon Beat Glendale High School Bands
Letter From the Editor
W elcome to the new school year and marching season! We are very happy to have all of you with us, either
playing in or supporting the Glendale Band program. Fall is a very busy time filled with early morning
rehearsals, sectionals, fundraisers, performances at football games and parades, as well as marching competitions.
While our Band Director is on medical leave, we have extra incentive to work that much harder and make Mr.
Cronkhite proud. His Assistant Director, Mr. Seth Cunningham, and semi-retired Band Director, Ms. Carla Woot-
ton, have stepped up to teach and direct the band through our new field show – Into the Cosmos.
According to the website, box-six.com, our show is meant to take the audience on a journey through space, re-
minding them how small we all are in comparison, while reigniting fascination with the unknown. The composi-
tion is inspired by The Planets by Gustav Holst, Radiohead and Tron, as well as a variety of interstellar music.
Meant to sound full and be filled with character, I believe this music and the accompanying drill will be a treat for
all of us!
The Glendale Band currently has a roster of 119 with 13 of those students performing in color guard which is
coached by Ms. Mary Jo Miller. With a larger ensemble, it becomes more and more necessary to utilize the chain
of command and rely on youth leadership. Each instrument group has Section Leaders which serve as supervisors
for their smaller group. These leaders can provide discipline as well as assistance. You may hear a student saying
they had to run laps or do pushups for being late or not learning their part. Your respect for leadership at this lev-
el allows Drum Majors and Band Directors to focus on larger issues important to the band. The better we work
within our sections, the better the band will sound when united. Being a good team member means showing up
on time, practicing, and learning your part. Section Leaders are a wonderful resource to help you do just that.
With students, staff, volunteers, and family members working together I have no doubt the 2016 marching season
will be a wonderful, exciting, and memorable experience! Warmly, Peggy Russell
