SBHS 2005 Grand Nationals "Impressions of Japan"

[SaxKing52]

does this come ESPN?



[1337evan]

@SaxKing52 I wish. But sadly no... they used to put DCI Finals Recaps on espn 2, but they pulled that a few years ago.

I like the logo on the right breast. Pretty boss looking.

[b1ATL3h]

Yeah Mr. Gramata you play that soprano sax! :D

I love how he never tells us his marching band experiences, it's weird to see him as a high school student and then think of him as my music teacher. lol

[vincevan15]

@b1ATL3h he did tell us 1 story about his band i think

[b1ATL3h]

@vincevan15 well im not in symphonic so idk? i only have him in lessons.

[1337evan]

@b1ATL3h haha yeah we went to high school together back in the day. He's a great musician! It's crazy because Im almost a music teacher as well. I have this year left, and I'll have my music education degree too. Tell Matt... or should I say Mr. Gramata, that I say hi!

[b1ATL3h]

@1337evan Yeah he wont admit it but yes he is a great musician. And congrats on the soon to be music education degree! And I will let him know that you said hi. And watch out for him on Americas Got Talent, he's entering this Sunday and playing the Sax!
