THE FRONT ENSEMBLE SEEMS TO HAVE JOINED ANOTHER BAND & IS AMONG THE MISSING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE 3/31/09

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:

From Rt. 3A (Hancock St.) in Quincy turn onto Vietnam Veterans Dr. at Adams Field, follow to the parking lot at the end of road. After parking find the gravel driveway at the back of the parking lot.

Walk into the gravel drive and find the lone evergreen tree. Standing to the right side of the tree take a compass reading of about 50 degrees and you should see a very large oak tree. As you head towards the oak look for the path to your left, this is where you want to go.

Go over the tree roots and stay on the path as it goes to the left, keeping the marsh on your right & parking lot on your left. Continue on the path until you find the LARGE fallen tree on your left. Inside what is still standing the Front Ensemble is waiting with their mallets.

Front Ensemble: or Pit is made up of stationary percussion instruments typically placed at the front of the field. This section of the band includes marimbas, xylophones, timpanis, gongs etc.


After stamping in please seal tight & hide carefully.

Happy Letterboxing!
