February 28, 2000: Added a photo sent to me by Julie Barber and added a page about submitting your photos to this site.  I would really love to have more photos of shows or parades, so please contact me if you can help.  To see more details of my requests and offers, please go here.  Basically, if you can't scan them, I am willing to pay the postage for you to ship them to me and I will then return them to you within a few days.  If you don't wish to mail them, they can be left in care of me at the UPS Store on Linglestown Road in Harrisburg.  If you have photos you would like displayed on this site or would like more information, please contact me.  Thank you!

April 21, 2000: I am expecting to obtain a new collection of marching band photos soon.  Once I get them, I will immediately get to work on adding them to the site.  Also, over the summer, I will be redesigning the site a little bit with some different fonts, maybe some other things.  Keep an eye on this page for details.  

May 29, 2000: A few weeks ago, I was given a collection of several hundred band photos from 1997 up to the present school year.  I have scanned these in batches and am spending whatever time I can to get these batches processed for the site.  So far, I've finished the first stage of processing the batches for 1997-1998.  There are 78 photos right now, and as soon as I finish processing the batches for 1998-99 and 1999-2000 photos, I will start sorting through them all to determine what shows or events they are from (to the best extent possible).  Thanks to Jason Sharp & family, this will be a great addition to the site and will certainly have me busy for a while! 

June 27, 2000: I have not had a lot of time to work on the batches of photos, but I am doing my best to get through them and get them added to the site.  By request of Ron Massey (guard instructor) I am concentrating on the collection for 1997-1998 and expect to have the work done tomorrow if I can't finish them tonight.  These photos will be watermarked before they are uploaded, and the same will be done with other new photos for the site.  I will work on the other photos that are already on the site once I am finished with the new collections.  Look for a preview of the 2000-2001 season sometime in mid July to early August.

June 28, 2000: The new collection of 1997-98 photos has been uploaded and is in place.  I am in the process of watermarking all of the other photos on the site now.  This work will be done tonight and tomorrow.  I am uploading batches of the modified photos tonight and will take care of the rest tomorrow.  In addition, while I was working on adding the watermarks, a few of the photos including most of the photos from the 1999 preview show have been retouched using Adobe Photoshop, so I hope this improves the quality of them a little bit.  It's the best I can do with such poor quality originals.

July 12, 2000: I'm finishing up with watermarking the photos and hope to be able to get back to work on the other photo collections soon.  Starting on Monday the 17th, you will be able to access the site at www.sthsband.org.

October 6, 2000: All Middletown content is now online and work has just begun on "Hannaband V.2" a complete redesign of the website.  This new design was developed by Harris Boyce, former band member and drum major.  The Mechanicsburg show is this weekend and the staff at Penn State Berks was kind enough to allow me to borrow a digital camera for the weekend, so there will be more pictures online early next week.

October 25, 2000: I have not had time to add photos and content from the previous few weeks, but the boosters page is now updated.

November 19, 2000 2am: I am slowly getting more time to work on the site, I updated the main page, site info page, and copyright info page.  Behind the scenes, I am working on preparing more of the photo collections to be posted or at least thrown up for display and clean up the design later.

December 29, 2000: Harris and I put in a good many hours on the site late last night and early this morning.  Right now, we are working on developing a version 2.1 site redesign, and I will be working on getting as many of the outstanding images into the site as I can.  It still is not possible to download images from shutterfly.com and although I could capture them, they would not be of the highest quality.  I will try to consolidate them into a single account so that anyone wishing to view them online may do so.  In the meantime, if you would like access to these pictures which include summer 2000, chapters and accs, please email the webmaster.  I've also updated the links page with links to some popular drum corps, marching related sites, and an assortment of links for other bands in the central PA area and state wide.
