Dear Alumni, There's still time to order your remembrance pillow made out of our old Marching Uniforms. Profit goes towards maintenance and purchase of new uniforms. Make checks payable to Chiles Band Boosters in the amount of $30.00 and send to Mr. German at Chiles High School.

Please send us photos and updated information about yourself and family. Tell us what is going on with yourself. __In all correspondence, please send your year of graduation__. MG

Please drop me a line and update your e-mail address!


 * Jennifer (Goodin) Howard** (2003) and her husband Josh live in Colorado Springs, CO. and are expecting our first child in September.

We've been living in Columbia, MD since June, which is about halfway between Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC. Chris is working as a computer engineer at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, and I am teaching 8th grade math at a charter school in Baltimore. It's only October and it feels like the dead of winter up here. We're actually going to buy warmer coats this weekend. We have recently gotten engaged and plan on getting married in July. We both feel that our time at Chiles and in Chiles Band is irreplaceable. My advice to current students would be to enjoy the time they have left; I promise it will be gone before you know it. We look forward to coming back in the coming years for a Chiles Band event. If possible, we would also like to catch you guys in New York this year.

 * Lawrence Barriner** (06) was Head Drum Major of the Marching Timberwolves during the Fall 2006 Football season. He played trombone from middle school through his early college years. He is currently an undergraduate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning. He is interested in EPP (Environmental Planning and Policy) and IDG (the International Development Group) and would like to help underdeveloped countries develop with practical sustainability in mind. Although his busy school and work schedule doesn't allow Lawrence to play his instrument with the same commitment he once had, his position in his fraternity ([|Phi Kappa Sigma]) has led him to recruit many former high school musicians (and trombone players especially). He would also like to give a shout out to the Boneyard!
