    Owen Bradley's Digital Music Educator blog is worth the read. He is a band director who has decided to blog his thoughts, stories and technological knowledge for other directors to use. Since this is from a teacher perspective, I find the articles meaningful and personal. Bradley shares many iPad resources, not just for band purposes but for all areas of music education. Mainly, this blog is personal advancement, for teachers to learn about new technology or tips.

A Corps :: Blue Devils - 0 views

  • The spark of a thought ignites the imagination. It travels the interstate of synapses from the brain down the arm and into the hand. The hand grasps the pen and dips it in the liquid and moves from well to paper. Here the liquid drops onto the waiting space. The droplet begins to take the shape of a single letter. The letter is joined by another and another and begins to form a word. The word is linked and connected to more words. A sentence is born. More sentences emerge and join together. They become paragraph after paragraph. A story begins to dance on the pages.

    The Blue Devils website is an amazing resource for connecting with the drum corps experience. Videos of performances and behind the scene takes are amazing.
