I'm sure along the way the kids will meet each other - Danielle and Tim are together in Japan but Tim will be joining the Navy Band Northeast next month and Danielle and Megan went to A-school together. I've met Megan when we were visiting at Little Creek a few times. I know a few that are in the bands in Hawaii and Italy too.

I spoke with my son, Patrick, and he said that he probably knows or knows of Tim and Danielle since the navy musician family is so small. He loves his job and says it's the best gig ever. Thanks for the photo Kathy. Nancy, is your daughter at "A" school?

Tim isn't playing with the band, only if they need him for marching or concert band, otherwise, he is done but can't leave until the end of June...seems crazy. Really wish he could be home for his birthday on June 3rd. I'm sorry that Danielle couldn't have played a gig at least once with him. He's a great drummer and he thought she was good on her solo. I'm glad she's liking it. Lori

Danielle gets to perform with FEE this weekend for the first time, last weekend she just took pictures and played in the ceremonial band. She loves her job :) YEAH!!!

I told Danielle at least one time she'll have to be stationed at Great Lakes with the band so I can drive to see her, that is only 4 hours from here. I don't remember a Navy Band performing here in Michigan but we have seen the Air Force Band of Flight out of Ohio. Last weekend there was a parade in Lansing and the Army National Guard Band was in that. Maybe...someday...if she does get stationed closer to home, we could see what it would take to bring the band to the high school.

True. The 2009 Fleetweek schedule is online, and sounds like a ton of fun, but not enough for me to drive into NYC! It's only about 4 hours from us, but I have never been there. Not sure my nerves could handle it! haha I'm so used to the calmer paced country life, fresh air and 2 lane roads and don't enjoy zooy, chaotic places.

I'll keep watching this week - it's fun seeing the sailors on tv :) Better yet if we catch the band playing!

they'll be performing at Times Square on Friday, so maybe I can catch them again between now and then.

This morning I walked by the tv and the Today show was on and they had a Navy Band performing - I came in at the end of the performance - was that the Navy Band Northeast? I see this is Fleet Week in NY right now.
