WOODWINDS

Location: BMC Durfee High School, Fall River, MA
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 20 minutes
Compass: yes

In the spring of 2005 our daughter joined the Color Guard for the SHRHS marching band & we became “band parents”.
This is one in a series of 6 boxes planted in honor of her senior year & dedicated to “band geeks” & their parents everywhere.
Each box is planted at a different site were the SHRHS marching band has competed this (fall 2008) season. We are privileged to be able to travel with a group of hard working kids & staff, who continually amaze us with their dedication, music & high scores at MICCA, NESBA & USSBA shows. GO SHRHS!

As most of these boxes are located on High School property please plan your searches for when school is NOT in session. Better yet find out when each school hosts their home show & after letterboxing enjoy some great music & field shows. Maybe we’ll see you there.

CLUES:

You want to find the parking lot near the football stadium. Look for the BMC Durfee High School sign on Elsbree St. Enter the parking lot and park. Looking at the school there is a driveway to the left of the building. That is the way you want to head.

As you get to the front of the school you will find a “Welcome” sign, you want to head right (left will put you out on the street). On your left along the driveway are some evergreens, stop at the last one before the backward stop sign (8/12/09 stop sign reported missing but concrete base is still there).

Facing up the hill with your back to the tree, take a reading of 170 degrees. Look in this direction and find the biggest tree in the brush. The Woodwinds are hiding in the base of the tree warming up.

WOODWINDS: Instruments that produce a sound when the player blows air against an opening or edge in the instrument. Most were originally made of wood. This section of the marching band includes saxophones, clarinets & flutes along with others.

Please seal tightly & rehide well.Box 5 will be planted in Lowell on 10/26/08.

Happy Letterboxing!
