Our CCGC home show - the Winter Percussion and Winter Guard Competition is over, and what a show! Cheers and congratulations to both the Winter Percussion unit, placing 2nd in Scholastic Open, and the Winter Guard unit, taking 1st in Scholastic AA level! You kids were super; it was great to see you all perform.
Also, I need to send out a huge shout out of THANK YOU - to AFM as a whole, and especially to all of the very hard working adults AND students who helped in ways large and small to make this an outstanding event (not to mention profitable!). We pulled together as a fabulous team and got a very large task down to a fun and enjoyable event. I simply could not have done this without the incredible support from so many of you. I would not have been inspired to do this without the leadership of Mr. Grantham and the shining example of dedication by the students of these activities. That the units did so well was truly icing on the cake. I had a blast working with and for all of you, and thought we definitely have lived up to our "esprit de corps" award.
Thank you all so very much for this experience. Hugs to all, Liz Sufit
....And thank you Liz!

Pleasanton City Council Honors Marching Band & Color Guard
The City of Pleasanton prides itself on being a Community of Character and is delighted to showcase examples when they hear about them. On January 19, the City Council honored the Amador Valley Marching Band and Colorguard with a special Character for their recent Esprit de Corps award. The group won the Esprit de Corps trophy at the Merced competition (October 2009) for outstanding sportsmanship and conduct on and off the field.
The Amador Friends of Music, which was also recognized by the Merced Boosters during the presentation of the Esprit de Corp trophy, has recently made the commitment to become an Organization of Character.
