Welcome one and all to OBST FOREVER. Just close your eyes and think back to younger days. You are in uniform and standing at ease at the beginning of some parade. Whe all of a sudden the drum majors whistle sings out tweee-eeet and the drums sound out drrrrrrrrrat and everyone yells rah. Then the drum major yells "drum step off". The drums start to play then we step off then the drum major raises his upside down mace into the air in a wide circle signifing obst-tribute. And everyone yells O...B...S...T...O.B.S.T.OBST Rah Then the head drummer yells out TRIBUTE and we hear the drummers play the trubute roll off. Then we bring our horns to our lips and blast out TRIBUTE TO TROY. From the banner to the twirler to the super tall flags to the short flags to the shields to the horns and drums you feel obst pouring out of you. Like Caesers legions marching into Rome. You are in the best band in the land. THE LONG BEACH JUNIOR CONCERT BAND. And you have OBST-------FOREVER. Now sit back and enjoy the group. Make new friends. Renew old ones. Share precious memories. And have fun..........

Me Too Linda. Wish there was a recording somewhere. Think it was arranged by either Tommy Walker, or the CSULB Band Director (sorry forgot his name). A turning
Sure do. I wish we had that recording. It was awesome. Linda Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T ... From: "docjim_bkk" <docjim_bkk@...> Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009
