Former HS Band Director, C.H. Wright, To Be Honored
Claude (C.H.) Wright will be honored posthumously July 23, 2008 at the summer convention of the Oklahoma Bandmasters Association (OBA). Wright was a former band director at Collinsville, Owasso, and Bixby during much of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. He will be inducted into the Hall of Fame by the Oklahoma HS band directors. The Hall of Fame Banquet will be Wednesday 6pm July 23rd in the Renaissance Convention Center in Tulsa. The 2008 Band Director of the Year will also be honored.

C.H. Wright was the full-time editor of "The Collinsville News" during these years as a part-time band instructor when high school bands were first being organized in Oklahoma. He was later the editor of "The Skiatook News" in the 1950s. Mr. Wright died in 1973.

Any former band students of C.H. Wright are encouraged to provide comments to the Wright family (via Ted Wright, 1110 W. Main, Collinsville, OK 74021 or email: wrightted@aol.com). If you would like to attend the banquet contact the OBA for reservations (www.okbandmasters.com)

Hi Ted,
We met James & his daughter Trinity following Jennifay singing "God Bless The USA" at the Annual Hogs & Hot Rods Festival. James is a Collinsville resident that recently returned home to Collinsville after completing two tours of duty in Iraq.
Kyle Wright & Tyler Roy also in picture were Hogs & Hot Rods volunteers that expressed their appreciation to James. Kyle & Tyler also graciously assisted us with moving the heavy sound equipment.
