I would like to offer you an opportunity for a no-risk, lower-cost, creative and custom photo shoot for your Senior Photos. Most of you have gotten to know me, and my camera, over the last few years as part of the Windsor music program. I will work with you to achieve the personalized look you want for your Senior Photos, in a comfortable and fun environment...bring as many outfits and props as you like, choose multiple locations for the shoot, and even bring along a couple of friends to help put you at ease and spark some creativity, bringing out your personality and style.
Catch up with me at any Windsor music event to discuss and schedule your photo shoot, or contact me through www.JimSparks.com, www.PhocusGallery.com or on Facebook. We are scheduling shoots all Summer long. There is absolutely no cost to you for the shoot AND any prints you choose to purchase after the shoot will generate a donation to the Windsor Music Department.

Changes at PhocusGallery.Com!
Thursday, March 26, 2009 by Jim Sparks
|
As we gear up for the close of the 2008-2009 season and prepare for next year, we've made some changes at PhocusGallery.Com that we hope will make getting your favorite Windsor Music photos faster and easier AND increase the donation potential for the Windsor Music Department.
Here are the details:
First, we've created a new site at www.JimSparks.com. This site works pretty much the same as the PhocusGallery site, and if you created an account at PhocusGallery.Com you should not have to re-register at JimSparks.Com. PhocusGallery.Com is designed for fine-art photography to be used for home and office decor. JimSparks.Com is designed for our on-location and event photography, like the Windsor Golden Brigade competitions.
Next, we moved the Windsor Music Gallery from PhocusGallery.Com to JimSparks.Com. Don't worry, if you forget and go to PhocusGallery.Com you'll see a reminder and a link to visit JimSparks.Com for Windsor images.
Next, we overhauled our tools for adding images to the site. We can now add hundreds of images in a matter of minutes. This means we can post more images from each event and we can post them within 24 hours of the event.
We've increased the donation amount to the Windsor Music Department from 10% of gross sales to 15% of gross sales.
And, to make it even better, ALL sales at JimSparks.Com will generate a donation to the Windsor Music Department, not just purchases from the Windsor Music gallery! Starting in 2009 we will be covering more events around Windsor, Imperial, Arnold and Jefferson County. This will give us greater exposure and a wider range of customers which will hopefully result in more revenure for the music department.
Be sure to check out www.jimsparks.com and add us to our favorites list!
As always, thanks for your support!

The WGB travelled to Potosi on Saturday for the 2008 Potosi Bi-State Marching Invitational, where they earned the AAA Division 3rd Place trophy and a spot in the finals competition with the top bands from all divisions.
In finals competition the WGB's performance of "Dusk to Dawn" ranked them 8th overall out of 24 bands attending the competition. Way to go OWLS!!
Congratulations to the Fox Marching Warriors for their stellar performance Saturday which earned them the 1st place trophy in their division (AAAA) curshing second place by almost 6 points, and for finishing 2nd overall in finals competition with less than .8 points from 1st place. March on, Warriors!!
Many thanks to the parents and fans that came out to support the band for an ultra-long day in Potosi, and special thanks to all the volunteers who pitched in to make the day success. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Windsor Wraps Up 3rd at Washington
Sunday, October 05, 2008 by Jim Sparks
|
Props and shouts to the WGB for their perfomance of "Dusk to Dawn" this Saturday, which earned the Brigade a Third Place trophy at the Washington Marching Band Festival. With only 1.33 points separating 2nd and 3rd place, and only 3 points between the top 3 bands, it was a very exciting and tight competition.
With the marching season winding down you only have two more chances to see the Windsor Golden Brigade in 2008! Join us this Saturday in Potosi for a full day of preliminary and finals competition at one of the largest and most exciting marching band invitationals in Missouri. Come volunteer in the support area and enjoy a day of music, marching, fun and food (BBQ by the WBPA!) this Saturday!
Your last, and possibly best, chance of seeing the WGB perform will be on Saturday, October 25th at the Edward Jones Dome in downtown St. Louis! The Greater St. Louis Marching Band Festival is the culmination of a season of hard word and dedication by the WGB which began in June and ends at the Dome in October. This is a premium event and TICKETS ARE REQUIRED! The WGB is in a heated race for 1st place in ticket sales this year and your support is needed! Tickets are available for as little as $10. Friends, family, neighbors and coworkers will be awed, amazed by the WGB's performance of "Dusk to Dawn" at the Dome! Greater St. Louis Marching Band Festival tickets also make a great gift, so even if you are unable to attend, pick up a couple of tickets and give a friend or loved one the gift of Windsor Music!

Congratulations to the WGB for another outstanding performance at the Sullivan Marching Band Festival this past Saturday.

Many many thanks to everyone that came out to watch and support the WGB over the course of a very long Homecoming Weekend.

The Windsor Golden Brigade travelled to the Edward Jones Dome in downtown St. Louis for their final competition performance of "In Pursuit" on Saturday. The WGB wrapped up the marching season by bringing home the Blue Division 4th place trophy at the Greater St. Louis Marching Band Festival, with an outstanding performance competing against some of the best marching bands in the Bi-State area.
Many congratulations and thanks to all of the musicians and peformers in the WGB for their hard work, perserverance, good attitude and sportsmanship throughout the 2007 marching season. It has been a pleasure, and exciting, to spend the season with you and watch you make Windsor proud time and time again with every effort. See you at the lock-in and the Thanksgiving Day Parade!!
Special thanks to all of the band parents and their friends and family that came out to make the season happen. We couldn't get the job done without you and we appreciate your support, hard work and of course...patience.

Greater St. Louis Marching Band Festival
Saturday, October 27, 2007 by
|
The last stop on the Windsor Golden Brigade's 2007 "In Pursuit" tour was the Edward Jones Dome in downtown St. Louis on Saturday. By getting everything packed and ready to go Friday night, we were able to avoid Apple Butter Festival traffic Saturday morning and arrived at The Dome as scheduled and began preparations in the cold morning air. The preparation was especially difficult on the kids because of everything it takes to make a performance happen at The Dome, but they remained focused and gave a great performance in a professional venue in front of the largest group of spectators they have seen this season. After spending a few fun-filled hours at Union Station after the performance, the WGB returned to The Dome to see the Gold Division and special guests perform before the awards ceremony. The drum majors from all competing bands were escorted onto the field by the 135th U.S. Army Band. Our drum majors were impressive as always, professional and attentive, accepting the Blue Division 4th Place Trophy with Windsor pride and sportsmanship.

Farmington Marching Invitational...Another Success!
Saturday, September 22, 2007 by
|
The second stop on the Windsor Golden Brigade's 2007 Competition Schedule was the Farmington Marching Invitational today in Farmington, Missouri. Once again, the WGB looked and sounded sharp and professional, but this time in searing Summer heat that caused problems for many kids and parents alike. In addition to the parent vehicles that helped carry support items to the event, we travelled with 2 school buses of musicians, an equipment bus, and 3 support vehicles pulling trailers. Many thanks to the Band Dads that spent their time in the heat laying on the rocky parking lot working on the ATV to get it ready for the performance. Thanks to everyone who lent a hand to make the trip a success, and thanks and appreciation to the parents and their guests who made the trip to see the perfomance and give their support from the stands.
