Danielle's only been in Japan for 3 weeks - this weekend is her first performances as she finished at the School of Music the beginning of April. We talked about going to Japan but the prices are crazy so we decided the summer of 2010 to meet her in Hawaii. She'll be ready for a vacation herself. Her boyfriend is a musician in the band in Italy - he's only been there for 2 weeks.

My son is expecting to be transfered to either the band in Japan or Italy (or both!) in the next few years. Did you have an opportunity to visit overseas and see them perform?

Danielle had her first performance, just hours from meeting the rest of the band and her director. She said she did alot of sight reading and had to play the piccolo solo for Stars and Stripes. She said she was shaking - just a touch of nerves! She'll get over it soon enough! She's played that solo a few times between school and at PIR. She said the parade was on Saturday - I'll be watching for photos!

Hi, Kathy told me about this site. My son is also in the Seventh Fleet band. He has been there for almost 2 years and will be leaving for the Navy band Northeast the end of June. He is keeping his eyes open for an opening for a drummer in one of the premiere bands in DC.

Hi Lisa, I just heard you started this group - my daughter is stationed in Yokosuka, Japan with the Seventh Fleet Band - she will be part of the Far East Edition. She's only been in Japan for a few weeks. If your son was at Little Creek in the last 6 months, then Danielle probably knows him.

My son is serving in the Mid-South Freedom band and enjoys the work. I know that it's not the same as having him oversees in harms way, but I'm very proud that he has chosen to serve our country as a messenger and recruiter.
