I wanted every one to know music is life, it's one of the most
important
things. It is a way of expressing your self and it is a way of
meditating.
Music has been a very important thing in my life, and will always be.
To
Mr. Wong thank youfor every thing you have done for me. Carrie W.

hey,
Just wanted to say whats up to everyone. I was in the band for all four years and graduated in 1996.
I graduated from American H.S. in 1991, after 4 years of
participating
in the marching band and concert band. When I was a senior, the school
district
was talking about cutting back funds to the music and art departments
becuase it couldn't afford them.
Looking at this web site, it's wonderful to see how much the music
department has progressed since I've
been gone. Many of my fondest memories are from the time I spent with
the family that developed within
the band. Thank you for nurturing such an important program as music in
school.
I just wanted to add to my previous comment -- thanks to Mr. Levin
(the band director) for all his hard work in making my experience with
American
H.S.'s band so enriching. It couldn't have been such a great family
without his heart. Also, hello to all
of you who were part of the band during the four years that I was
there. Hello to all of you who are there now
-- congratulations on your success. Keeep working hard and having fun!
To the Eagles Marching Band,
I just happened to be searching for some information on the net when I came across the schools website. Naturally I saw the band link and went straight to it.
It is great to see that there is a continued tradition of musical excellence at American High School. I am impressed with the the events that you have scheduled and I sincerely know the dedication and devotion that goes into each and every one of your performances. The discipline that it takes to play a musical instrument and perform with peers will prepare you for your individual journeys after high school. You don't need to be told, but I am going to say it anyway, you are a breed apart from your peers. So, continue to show that Eagle spirit, be proud of your accomplishments and most important, best of luck at each and every performance. I wish I could be there to do it all over again.
Sincerely,
Todd Y,
Class of 1991

hey mr. wong,
just wanted to see what was going on with
this year's band. hopefully they have a lot of potential and the
drive of being something greater. Being a
part of the band is not just a class, but a time when individual
talents come together to achieve perfection...during
a time of imperfection.

Glad to see American has a web site and that the music program is still swinging. I am class of '76 and played lead trumpet in the jazz and symphonic band. I played professionally for a few years and still play for my own enjoyment. Of course I played in an era when trumpets ruled the earth! In my opinion they still do. Thanks Mr. Levin. By the way my wife, Cindee, was lead flautist!
