Proboards, the website that hosts the TFBC Forum, is having some server issues. I currently don't have an ETA of when it should be back up, but it's been down for a while now. They are aware of the issue and are currently working on it. More information will be posted once it's available.

Edit: The board is back up! :)

At first I was just going to be late to publish the comic, but I think I am going to take a break this week. I was involved with my church's Vacation Bible School last week, and I am still completely exhausted from it. This week is going to be busy as well (and the next week!), but I should have it done by then. Sorry for being slack. :-\

Cafepress.com is having a liquidation sale on their Jr. Jersey shirts, so starting Monday, June 14th and ending whenever they sell out, you can get $4 off any Jr. Jersey shirt. Here are the designs that are available from the TFBC Stores:

Be sure to use coupon code 4JRJERSEY when you checkout to get the discount.

This is a liquidation sale, so as colors and sizes of the current Jr. Jersey T-Shirt sell out, they will be permanently removed from shops. So order sooner than later!

Hope you had a great 4th of July and are having a great summer so far! Good luck to those of you who are starting your band camps in the next few weeks! Summer flies by....

I ran across these clips last year about the The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band (Texas A&M). Hope you enjoy them:

The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band is nationally famous for its military style, close formation maneuvers. The most impressive of which is the Aggie cross through.

If you're not familiar with the FTAB's cross through, watch this:

Now, from the chaotic perspective of a BQ with a camera strapped to his trumpet:
