Today I would like to pay tribute to my never-ending effortful band teacher, Mr. Rupp. Mr. Stewart Rupp has been the band director now for over 12 years. Last year was the "band that beat all", as he said. This year's band is not as good as last year's, mainly because of lack of main instruments. Last year our only tuba, our only oboe, and 5 trumpets and 3 clarinets graduated, and this year, all we have back is 1 trumpet and 2 clarinets. But, we will be getting a few more later on.
