Sorry...we do not have a date at this time. Stay tuned for further developments. No, Mr. Truex is not sitting at home eating all of your popcorn, despite all of the vicious rumors.
And now...time for a joke: Question: Why did the pianist keep banging his head against the keys? Answer: He was playing by ear.
Do you have a good joke for Mr. T...? Send it to me, and if you include a donation to the "Band Director's Burrito Fund," I might post it on this site :^)
