Wow! I don't even know your music teacher, Mr. Soucy, but even I can feel the excitement! You guys must really love him! He must be a great teacher! I don't know him, but I love all my music teachers like that and I know I'd be on top of the world if one of them got such an honor!
Haha, I just happened to come by this video by some sheer luck. I play trumpet in the Alvirne band, so that is why it was so coincidental. I remember voting for Mr. Bastien in the contest, but I was soo happy to find out that Mr. Soucy won. Whether it was Soucy or Bastien, atleast we would have one the best music teachers in the world conducting the Pops! GO MR SOUCY!!! Oh, and how's Beijing? I can't wait for the Jazz Band to go to Germany in February. Haha :-)
there was alot of jetlag and alot of adjusting to the food which is to be expected on that kind of trip but the experiences we had and the bonding that happened while we were there definately outshined it!
I didnt know you Jazz band was going to Germany! I hope you guys have an amazing time! Im sure you'll blow them out of the water!
I came upon this performance purely by chance, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had to Google Andy Soucy to get the story about the contest etc.
Then reading the comments, I was shocked by pettiness, nastiness and irelevance of most of them. [I won't be a bit surprised if future comments state that I am in that group] But when all is said and done--this perfomance and video is really great!
I was on an emotional high as "Soucy" performed this, I can only imagine how he must have felt. Way to go. You deserve every moment of this!! Outstanding job. Kudos to you, EJ for a video well done! You're a natural!! Rhonda
I was just looking for the Pops doing Sleigh Ride, but I got so much more. I don't know this "Soucy" character, but the narrator quickly had me rooting for him like he was my own music teacher.
sharkie59 what an honor to have your teacher conduct!! and his son... wow! awesome!!!

sorry about the horrible quality everyone, i was afraid of taking anything bigger then a digital camera in because its illegal to video tape.
