Farewell Summer Band 2008
OHS Band Members, each of you deserve a huge pat on the back for completing this year's Summer Band camp here at OHS. I want to especially THANK those students who attended every single rehearsal and showed up on time ready to go. You are the leaders that will take the OHS Band to new heights. You have already broken so many ceilings and/or expectations that people have placed on you, keep it up. Most people believe that we as a human society have come to fear failure in all aspects of our life. I do not agree with this statement one bit. Instead, I believe that we as a society have come to fear how far we can go and what heights we can actually achieve. We actually fear the thought of being the best. Students, have a great first day of school on Monday and remember that you are a part of a family unlike any other and every person in our family is valued to the most extreme degree. Have a Great School Year.

Mr Dojahn first i just want to say that you are by far the coolest band director in the world. Seriously how many other schools have blogs? Most band directors don't know what a blog is. Second i just want to thank you for putting the pride and excitment back in the OHS band this year. With your help and our hard work we are on our way to going to STATE!!! Doing well and actually being able to go to STATE is a HUGE opertunity and i thank you for re iterating that it is possible and it WILL happen.

Wow, this is like the first time I went to a school website.haha! Love the blog, I still can't get over that this was my last summer band ever...=/
ReplyDeleteIt's all unreal that this is already my Senior Year. Today I had gone to take my Senior pictures, and then we got in those circles and everything hit me. Senior year finally has looked real to me.
I also wanted to let you know that you are one of the best band directors I've had since Jr. High. I'm not going to lie, I hate marching practice. My past two years i would show up when i wanted to and I had a "whatever" attitude in the beginning, but you have changed that. I told Emily the other day "Wow i really like marching band this year!" It's so great that I'm part of the biggest group at our school, and I feel so motivated now! Thank you again for everything you are doing for us the OHS band =)
