When you click on a video it may not play until it downloads in it's entirety or it may play while it downloads. It takes approximately 1 minute for every 20meg of data if you have high speed access. If you have dial up, it will take longer. If you have trouble or if it doesn't play correctly you could try right clicking on the porthole and select "Save Target as..." and save it to your desktop and play it from there.

Greenway Marching Band at the Northern Arizona University Band Day 2007. The 2007 NAU Band Day is a qualifier for ABODA State Festival

The band did well earning a rating of "Excellent" which qualifies them to perform at the ABODA State Festival on November 10th. This qualification is redundant since they qualified for the State Festival at the Peoria Marching Band Invitational having earned a rating of "Excellent" there also.

Rhino Ride at the Glamis Sand Dunes December 2007.

We had an opportunity to spend a few days at the sand dunes in south eastern California with Chuck and Carl, two of Tari's brothers. They let us use their Rhino (picture on the left is a different Rhino)  which I can only explain as a sort of golf cart on steroids. Here is a view from the passenger side while Dave weaved through some of the smaller dunes.

Her are Tari, Andrea and Vincent getting a ride in Chuck's sand rail. This sand rail has a twin turbo 350ci V8 engine developing 900hp at the crankshaft. Chuck took it easy on Tari. When he took Dave for a ride he popped a few wheelies. They call it "Star Gazing".
