As a member of the medical community myself, as a Certified Medical Assistant, I do not get to work in the hospitals, however, I hear all of the complaints in the office from disgruntled patients, and most of ours go to Altoona! I lived in VA before my family moved back home to Tyrone last summer. I...

I already emailed you regarding the alumni band, but haven't heard anything. I am definitely interested, but if we are going to do this, we need sheet music to practice with b/c September 23 is not that far away.

Please post and let those of us interested in this what is going on.

Thanks

Greg,

How about some investigative reporting? Rumors are rampant that Tyrone School District will strike, the week after school starts! Anything buzzing on this as the Altoona Mirror?

Just curious, how many responses have you gotten to your email or phone regarding this. I think it sounds like a great idea.

P.S. I saw the band practicing this morning. They are extremely small, but they sounded really good this morning. Keep up the good work!!!

This is the first I have heard about a teachers strike in Tyrone. My kids attend school there and I would like to know if they will be missing school or not. Some of us work and have to rearrange our schedules if our children are going to be home during the day instead of in school. This can not oft...

I have to tell you pup, nothing personal, but I have worked as a paralegal for 5 years, and I don't recall any law that states that law enforcement cannot be trained once they are on the force to do something new! Which is where PJ steps in. Over the past couple of years, computer predators have bec...

OK Tyrone Pride. I guess it will be just you and me in the Alumni Band. I twirled silk, but I did play flute on field my freshman year and I still now the Alma Mater and SSB. However, I would like to play the version we played under Gerry, not the revamped version for a few years ago. It just doesn'...

As far as Hollidaysburg YMCA, I do not know what they do with our high school pool in the summer, but during the winter months they hold open swim twice a week and then they also hold swimming lessons for various ages so that we don't have to drive all the way to Hollidaysburg. My kids did this last...

The theatre is Phillipsburg is still there, they change out the movie about every 3 weeks, so it has survived. Now for an idea....I used to live in Virginia and they had these "Cinema Cafe's" They were very popular. It was a restaurant/movie theatre. You would pay admission, but it was les...

I have often thought that Tyrone needed a movie theater. I grew up here and having to go to Altoona or State College, when you didn't have a license or a ride, was tough. Now, I do it all the time, but for the kids it would be nice. It would have to be small, two screens and a new building would nee...

Tyrone Pride I agree!! I am so glad that the band has a new director and I hope that within a few years he is able to build it up and make it great again! I also like the idea of an alumni band, but if we are gonna have the instruments play, then we have to have the colorguard as well!! I would love...

The ducks are still there. I live right by the park and I see them all of the time. They are scarce during the afternoon, though. No, Tyrone is not having a 4th of July parade and if you are having a picnic at the park, did you reserve your space? I know they fill up pretty quick!!

Well, just an idea, but how about having the band show up at the local parades. When I was in the band we always marched in the parades. This year the Tyrone band did not show up for the St. Patricks Day parade or Memorial Day. Also, bring back summer band. Keep kids interested all year, and referen...

Does anyone have video of the band in the early 90's? If you do could you post it on youtube and give the link? I was in the band then, and I do not have any video. Sure would love to see it!!

I have it on good authority from a school district employee that the reason the two teachers are not being replaced is because the student population is not big enough. This fifth grade class that is moving up next year is the smallest one they have had in a long time. My question is though, what if...
