An additional belated Happy Holidays to all posters before we celebrate our newest member to the 1000 post club, neop ! neop began their time in band at Marion L. Steele H.S. in Ameherst, OH at only (and only) the pestering of their friends. Turns out that their friends knew better after all, having marching all their high school years! neop became a familiar face in the Steele band, going from just a regular band member to becoming the trumpet section leader and culminating in the Steele prestigious honor of Member of Year. neop is still a regular at band contests- it is actually possible you may have bumped into them at a few! neop's name is surprisingly NOT Neopets-influenced. The name is stolen from an old classmate with the "P" coming from their own name. We can certainly be thankful for the classmate's cool name! neop's many posts come from being one of HR's resident calendar stalker. They've put together a secret formula that allows them to scrape many, many band calendars and luckily shares those tidbits of treasure with the forums. Some fun facts: - neop's favorite color is purple. - neop's favorite instrument is the euphonium (so I'm guessing a purple euphonium would be their holy grail!) - neop cannot differ between Coke and Pepsi. - neop's favorite DCI show is Bluecoats 2010. - neop is a self-professed soft pretzel (with cheese) expert- they're practically a Michelin soft pretzel (with cheese) guide for NE Ohio high schools!

A purple euphonium sounds horrifying, like a disease

Missed this thread previously. Belated congratulations to neop ! I hope our paths cross again. (Random question: has Amherst ever attended the Buckeye Invitational? I think I've seen every other big northeast Ohio competition band there at one point or another but I cannot recall seeing Steele.)
