Introducing the 2005 USSBA Group IV A Champions:

The Upper Moreland Marching Unit!
Wow. Just wow. Amazing. To be involved with such an incredible group of young people really makes me greatful.
Words can not express what I am feeling right now. From the bottom of my heart, from a person who loves you, and is dedicated to seeing you succeed, I thank you for everything you have done this year. I thank you for all the hours you spent working together, the countless headaches and sore bones you have worked through, the amazing drive to succeed that you have all exhibited. Thank you. Your work has payed off, and I hope you enjoy the feeling you have inside. You guys are truly legendary in every sense of the word. I could not be any more proud.
To the Senior class: We have spent 4 amazing years together. You are MY senior class. You mean so much to me not just as marching members, but as people, and you will always have a special place in my heart. You amazed me everyday, and yuo amazed me when it mattered the most. You are champions, you deserve all the praise that goes along with it. So thank you. Just thank you.
To the Junior class: Batter up. It will be your turn in about 7 months. The seniors have steared the ship in a new direction. It is your job to grab hold of the wheel and guide it even further down the path of success. I honestly can NOT WAIT until you are seniors. You will no doubt be incredible.
To the Sophmore class: You guys are hilarious. Always there to keep things interesting and exciting. Your ability to look at the bright side of things and to keep things light truly is admirable. Great job and let's make next year even better.
To the Freshman: You came into a program full of change. You took everything that we threw at you and you begged for more. Without a freshman class like this, I don't think the unit would have been NEARLY as successful. I thank you for your non stop desire to learn, and your amazing ability to adjust and make things happen. Next year you will be the ones setting an example. Rock out.
This has been the most fun season I have ever been part of. I have felt what it is like to win a championship before when I was in HS, but it doesn't compare to this. I am so glad you got to feel what it is like. Just remember Juniors, Sophmores, Freshman. You are up next year. I really can't wait until we win again 
To the staff guys, Mr. B, Jeff, Spanky, Jimmy, Dale, Maureen, Lauren, Theresa, Dave, Andrew, Dan, Coop: I can't thank you enough for being mentors to me. I realize I am still young in this activity and your experience and wisdom no doubt has made me a better person. This is the tightest knit staff I have ever been part of. I hope that doesn't change. Meeting at Dales for next year..say...tomorrow night? haha. You guys are awesome.
So I have said my piece, and I have meant every word of it. This has been probably the best 4 months of my teaching lives. Now I must go into hibernation and get ready for July to roll around for next season. Thanks again to all of you. You kick ass. Peace out.

p.s.- Thanksgiving time and Christmas time make me happy.
