Dr. W. David Spencer has created an incredibly professional Team of Music Makers. Dr. Spencer has been with our Huntsville High School since 1980. Our Hornet band consists of over 200 very talented and serious band students. This 2011 group of students promise to be some of the best.  Dr. Spencer, with parental and professional help is planning a trip to Spain in 2012 for the students. This promises to be a whirlwind of learning, discovery and growth.  I just want to say thank you for all you are doing for our students and future musicians, teachers and well rounded adults.

WHERE is Rather Park?   I was reading about an upcoming event in that is going to be held at Rather Park in downtown Huntsville. I thought to myself,  WHERE is there a park in downtown Huntsville.  So I googled it!   I  googled “Where is Rather Park in Huntsville, Texas” and was sent to a city link. I clicked on the link and there was no additional information. It had a map link but when you clicked on it, Rather Park was nowhere to be found.   To make a long story short, I called around and finally found someone at the Sam Houston Statue who knew where Rather Park was.   Thus, the reason for this blog post is.... If I am looking for Rather Park, that means that someone else is looking for it too!   Rawley Samuel Rather Memorial Park is located on the corner of University Avenue and 13t... 09/10/2011
