I have 85 minutes to add since my last update, which puts me at Popping Purple and sophy1996 has reached Radiant Red! Thanks for sharing your vacation photos! :) Looks amazing and your tulips will be a delight when they eventually bloom. Also, thanks to your minutes, the TEAM has also reached...

Just popping into to tally my own minutes from Tuesday. +20 I'm at 245/600 Hope everyone's week got off to a good start!

ShannyMcB is now Bright Blue. PollyannaMom and I are Awesome Orange. sophy1996 is the first to reach Popping Purple! The Holdovers intrigued me, but I saw it had an R rating. I'm not puritanical or anything, but I do find that most R rated movies make me a little uncomfortable at some point...

I have 110 new minutes since I last updated. PollyannaMom and I are both Bright Blue. sophy1996 and piglet1979 are Awesome Orange, and so is the TEAM! I wish I had access to a service like that locally! Buying new puzzles all the time adds up quickly. But with the rented puzzles, do you end up...

I got a late start this month because we had my parents in visiting with us. I hadn't really bothered to exercise until tonight. I got in 30 minutes on the exercise bike. While my parents were here, we worked 4 jigsaw puzzles. We waited until Charles went to bed for the evening and tried to...

I didn't see an April Thread posted yet, so I went ahead and made one. Sorry it's so late. I had my folks in visiting all last week and I didn't make time to exercise, let alone post on the disboards. Here's the link.

Welcome to the April 2024 exercise thread! This month, we'll just be chatting with each other as we move through April. I'll post some conversation starters, but feel free to talk about anything you want! If you’re returning, we’re excited to have you back! If you’re new, welcome to the team...

Congrats to PollyannaMom for reaching Grand Green. WDW_fan_in_TX and I both managed to get to Ragtime Red before the month ended. Ooooh! So close! And ShannyMcB reached Piccolo Pink. I promised in the first post to include some Disney Parks News in this month's "March" theme. So here is a...

Congrats to sophy1996 for reaching Grand Green! Tonight, I'm posting from my phone on an air mattress in Charles's bedroom. He had an allergic reaction and spent the evening in the ER getting antihistamines and steroids. I'm sleeping in his room to keep a closer eye on things. He seems to be...

Do you know about the other Marching Band that played at Disneyland? The All-American College Band was comprised of 21 musicians from colleges and universities across the country. They spent 11 weeks during the summertime as cast members after beating out hundreds of other hopeful students for...

Color changes all around. I and the Team have reached Piccolo Pink. sophy1996 is Ragtime Red. And piglet1979 is the first to reach Grand Green! This article (from 2013) details some of the history of the music of Main Street U.S.A. I learned that the original Walt Disney World Band was a 20...

BonnieF is jumping into Overture Orange, sophy1996 and WDW_fan_in_TX are at Piccolo Pink, and ShannyMcB has reached Percussion Purple! The Main Street Philharmonic delights guests with classic songs like Take Me Out to the Ballgame and Seventy-Six Trombones, as I mentioned in a previous post...

I have 65 minutes to add since my last update. Unfortunately, Friday and Saturday night weren't much better for me getting to bed on time or getting much rest, but most of that wasn't the fault of my bad time management. 👼455/700 piglet1979 has reached Percussion Purple and so has the team...

Sorry it took me until tonight to update! All week, I've been struggling to get to bed before 1AM, which is not ideal. My time management has been poor. But I had enough minutes from the week to bring me to Percussion Purple. sophy1996 is also moving up. The Disneyland band eventually settled on...

Adding 30 minutes of GrowwithJo and yoga since my last update! Congrats to ShannyMcB for reaching Overture Orange! And PollyannaMom too! With our recent minutes, the TEAM has also moved up! I dug up some more fun facts about the Disneyland Band! The original band did not use any sheet music...

sophy1996 and I have reached Overture Orange! And congrats to piglet1979 for reaching Brass Blue. I read an interesting article today about the music of Main Street. The most interesting tidbit was about opening day of Magic Kingdom in WDW. A Marching band of 1,076 members performed the song...

I have 110 minutes to add for the last few days, bringing me to 145 and Brass Blue. sophy1996 and newcomer WDW_fan_in_TX have also reached Brass Blue! And the Team! On the other coast, The Main Street Philharmonic performs in Disney World. It is a 12 piece ensemble comprised of brass...

In Disneyland the marching band is known simply as "Disneyland Band." I think the history behind the band is kind of fun! "When Walt Disney wanted a band for opening day at the park, he asked British bandmaster Vesey Walker to assemble one. The band was hired only for a two-week engagement, but...

Welcome to the March 2024 exercise thread! This month, the theme is "marching," so we'll be looking at the Disney Marching Band and the month of March in the Disney Parks. Kind of a hodgepodge theme, but it'll do! If you’re returning, we’re excited to have you back! If you’re new, welcome to...

I'll host March. I'll post the thread tonight.
