<DIV><SPAN class=400152017-17122009><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>A friend who
lives in Tampa sent the following note and link to a wonderful news story
about the band from the Ohio State School for the Blind <SPAN
class=634464017-17122009><FONT color=#0000ff> participating
</FONT></SPAN>in the Rose Bowl Parade. I read about <SPAN
class=634464017-17122009><FONT color=#0000ff> their
acceptance </FONT></SPAN> last year, but this is a great update. What
a once in a lifetime experience for these kids!!<SPAN
class=634464017-17122009><FONT color=#0000ff> I hope many of us will
have the privilege of hearing them, but it's a long parade, and those floats
pass quickly. This is something unique, however, so I hope they are
given the spotlight they deserve. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>This is where I went to school, and am on the executive board. I
didn't remove all the links, because you might want to watch some of them.
I was inthe band, played the Susa Phone, and am so proud of our students, and
would love to be there. I can watch though, and I hope that many of you
will also take the time to watch. See <SPAN
