Band Forever

Mr. Hambrick was the main reason Dublin High School had such a great band program.  My parents were told I should play clarinet.  Perhaps even in the sixth grade Mr. Hambrick could tell he had a future bass clarinet player in the making.  Concert season and district band auditions are experiences I will never forget.  But best of all was football season.  Our marching band was usually twice as large as the other schools.  The drills and music he picked out were fantastic. 

I went on to play in the Dixie Redcoat Band at UGA and have been playing with the Augusta Concert Band for over 20 years.  None of this would have happened if Mr. Hambrick had not instilled a love of music and band in me.  I'm sure he has his baton out directing great pieces with a new group of muscians.
