Mr. Joseph Gabrielski, Percussion Caption Head for Tournament, and long time member of National Judges Association has announced his retirement, as of June 2009. Mr Gabrielski has been a member of NJA for nearly thirty-five years, starting in 1975. He has been working as the Percussion Caption Head for nearly twenty years. As one of the original Red Carpet Judges, Joe would often judge in New York, Canada, New Jersey and Ohio, and was often invited to adjudicate at the Intra-Service Academy Shows at the US Naval Academy. He was the DCA Percussion caption head in the 1990’s.
In real life, Joe has been a teacher at Jackson Memorial High School, Jackson, NJ and lives in Toms River, NJ.
Upon his retirement, and reflecting back on this long history, Gabrielski commented, “It has been a long, successful and productive run and I am very proud of the people and their accomplishments. The caption is very stable. The program of instruction is consistent. The philosophy is strong and embraced by most everyone. The message has always been consistent.” |

2009 ACC Site Pictures |
PDF |
|
The next page has several pictures from HersheyPark Stadium - taken May/June 2009. There are pictures from the pressbox(GE-EA windows) and then various shots from field locations, front to back on the 50 yard line. The pressbox windows do open, as you can see in the picture. There is a set of double windows, lower/upper levels, on the 50 yard line, to the left of the door as you look from the field. As directors continue to plan for 2009 ACC - please note - all bands will enter the stadium and the field from the FRONT LEFT corner(as you sit in the audience). The back gates and stands will not be used for ACC. We plan to have a stadium/area map prepared in the future, and will post the information on the website as soon as it is available.

TOB All-Star Band: NO VIDEO REQUIRED! |
PDF |
|
Due to concerns from students, parents, and directors about meeting the video requirement, we have waived that step in the audition process for 2009!
Wave 2 application and recommendation deadlines for the 2009 TOB All-Star Band have been set. As we have just passed the June 1 deadline for Wave 1, we now move into the second wave, or collection, of applications and auditions. Student musicians and guard members are encouraged to finalize their applications, gather their recommendations, and send the initial application fee as soon as possible. As school winds down here in June, students will need to plan to grab those signatures from directors and principals before summer starts. Although we all know how marching band never stops, some administrators do take time off before gearing up for 2009-2010 - don't get left out!
WAVE 2 DEADLINES:
- Application On-Line: July 1
- Recommendation: August 1
- Particiaption Fee: August 15
- VIDEO AUDITION REQUIREMENT HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR 2009!
