I'm sad but also happy to inform those that are not aware that I am moving to San Francisco Oct. 10. Unfortunately things did not work out at my most recent music program and I'm just about done with living in the South. I have family in the Bay Area hooking me up with employment so I'm not just moving out there on a blind expedition. I will be trying to see if I could march Renegades next season pending I have the schedule for it, but all in all I am fortunate to have met and performed with my extended family of GCS.

Corey, and Tom I can not thank you enough for all you have done extending your home, and your life to me and my 2 students the past 4yrs. I'm forever thankful.

Stephen I look at as my brother from another mother literally and will miss EVERYONE who I 've had the pleasure of performing with as members of Gulf Coast Sound.

As for whatever gigs we will have in New Orleans the next few yrs my home is always open to the Corps as mom has requested that GCS stay at the house again if in town and want to save money.. you're always welcome.

This, makes me sad

Oh Thomas...
I'm really sad to see you go.
If this is a better move for you, if it's prosperous, if you're happy, then I'm happy for you!
Please, don't forget us and don't be a stranger.
Your Friend,
Andrea

Thomas,
Although I have known you for a shorter time than most GCS members I will miss your enthusiasm, dedication, and especially that hop on the last beat. GCS and the drum line will not be the same without you. Good luck in San Francisco and I hope your schedule works out so that you can perform with Renegades. You will be a welcome asset to their future performances. I hope to see you on the field with Renegades next year in Rochester. Good luck and keep in touch.

Thomal,

I have a friend that is a music teacher in the Bay area. Her name is Renae and she used to march with Bayou City Blues. She also marched Florida Wave, when she was younger. When she first moved west, she worked with the Blue Devils C corps. I believe she teaches in Oakland. If you want to talk to her I will hook you up. I hope you have a great move.

Dude, you'll always be a part of the family. Pick a good place to live and I'll visit when I can.

I've got a good friend in North Beach. Carol Doda. Look her up

If you don't know Marc yet, you will. He's a great guy.

Thomas,

Will miss that attitude that you always brought to the drumline and your smile. Take care and know that many doors in Texas will remain open to you.

Thanks Gary, hopefully I'll be marching Renegades next yr. with my GCS star on uniform, and I'll be looking to do some Honor Guard work for GCS and some I&E work.

Thank you Albert, I've been seriously wondering if I want to continue in the classroom lately. This past weekend I recieved my answer after teachign a 4hr percussion class for the Crescent City Cadets which is a Cadet Corps under the GNODCA umbrella. I do miss the excitement from the kids, and their enthusiasm and love feeding off of it. So, yes I'd like continue as its better to have options pertaining to employment especially during these times.

Hook it up bro.!

Indeed Corey, you and Mathew are more than welcome to come out at any time once I get situated.

Ironic, I have an older sister that lives in North Beach also. I'll look up C. Doda. Oh.. and whats the name of that burger joint?? In/Out Burger??

I've met Mark once and it was very brief through Jon Large before he was taking the field with Renegades. I look forward to meeting him officially.

Thanks Carol, I'll miss the entire Corps period, I am initially. Thanks to you, Jenny, and Dena who were digging through your countless contacts to get me out there. Defintiely what you say of many open doors is precisely true.

Thanks Kris! Don't let Tom or Albert out scream you! Or.. are you 2nd Sop??

3rd actually, I was never interested in screaming...
But I'm taking the year off for some other time commitments. I may come out now and then for a gig, time permitting.
