Everett High Band Director Gene O’Brien couldn’t say “unbelievable” and “improbable” enough on Tuesday night when he appeared before the School Committee.
And by all rights, he wasn’t wrong to stress the unbelievable nature of the invitation extended recently to the Everett High Crimson Tide music program asking them to represent Massachusetts on Dec. 7 at the 80th Pearl Harbor commemoration event in Hawaii. It’s a solemn and honorable event that, along with the band, will feature dignitaries and, likely, President Joe Biden and a number of military leaders. It will also be the last commemoration held, as the only two Pearl Harbor survivors living will be present and it has been agreed there will not be another official commemoration at the 85th anniversary.
How marching bands found a way to still take part in the National Championship game
Wisconsin Football 9-1-2018 Marching Band
For those of you who watched the College Football National Championship game, you may have noticed something slightly different about the game this year.
For the first time in a long time, the National Championship game did not feature a marching band performing a live halftime field show. One of the many changes brought about by COVID-19 in 2020 is that marching bands have been sidelined as a precautionary measure to fight COVID-19.
A game as important as the National Championship was not about to be without one of college’s greatest traditions, however, which is where the Intercollegiate Marching Band came in.
A couple months before that, Pehlke traveled from Virginia to New York in February to help break down the top five fall-ball goals on The Lacrosse Network’s YouTube channel.
“It was one of the most fun days I had shooting with someone,” said RJ Kaminiski, who hosted the show and is now the manager of content for the Premier Lacrosse League. “This guy just oozes personality and authenticity.”
Pehlke came recommended by Katie DeFeo, a well-established YouTuber whose channel took off after she started creating content while on the USC women’s lacrosse team. The two met at the Committed Combine in July 2018. After Pehlke asked DeFeo to take a picture with him and a friend on the track at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, he rushed back to his bag. He then handed DeFeo a business card. It was adorned with two selfies of Pehlke’s face on the front.
