Roxbury Bands Hold Google Meet with Special Guest
 Middle and high school band students in Roxbury had a special guest on Wednesday morning for a Google Meet which was truly a unique experience virtually for the entire band program.
Band students held a Google Meet with Staff Sergeant Michael Ducassoux of the United States Marine Corps, who is currently serving as a Recording Engineer with "The President's Own" United States Marine Band. SSgt Ducassoux's post is in the Marine Band Recording Lab, where his primary job is recording various Marine Band and Marine Chamber Orchestra concerts and sessions and providing sound reinforcement for performances. In addition, they are responsible for the recording studio and the preservation of the band's recorded archive collections.
"Ssgt Ducassoux spoke to us for about 45 minutes and covered topics including a brief history of The Marine Band, his role in the organization, his background, what kinds of opportunities are available in the music and recording industry at large, and how the performing arts are currently being affected and will be affected in the future by the current state of the world. In the end, we opened up the Google Meet to a Q&A session.
Ssgt Duccasoux talked to us about the recent virtual band project that he just finished working on with "The President's Own", which is the same type of project that we are working on with all of our bands," shared 7th grade Band Director Greg Boccuti.
A virtual band project is where each musician submits a video recording of themselves playing their part to a piece of music, played along to a click track through headphones. An audio engineer then takes all of those recordings, synchronizes them, mixes, edits, and masters them, and then puts all of the videos together to create a "virtual performance".
Here is the most recent release on their YouTube channel. All of the video and audio that you see and hear was done with smartphone cameras.

Roxbury Makes Top 50 List of New Jersey Safe Cities
 Police this week said they were investigating "a possible attempted theft" in Succasunna and urged residents to lock their cars and homes. But that doesn't mean the town is unsafe, according to a new report.
Roxbury is one of the top 50 municipalities in New Jersey when it comes to being safe from crime, according to SafeWise, a company that researched statewide statistics.
In its sixth annual "Safest Cities in New Jersey report, SafeWise rated Roxbury 38th statewide, one spot better than Denville but slightly less safe than Randolph, which landed at 31 on the list.
The company found River Vale - a Bergen County town with about 10,000 people and a median income of about $132,000 - to be the safest of the 244 municipalities it ranked. It said it calculated crime rates for municipalities that met a "population threshold" and included only those that submitted a crime report to the FBI in 2018.
According to SafeWise, Roxbury - with a population of 23,000 and a median income of $104,453, reported a 2019 violent crime rate of .2 per 1000 people and a 2019 property crime rate of 10.1.
It said 32 municipalities improved in rank year over year, "with Hopatcong making the biggest jump - 100 spots from 116 to 16." It said every town on the "safest" list "beat both the state (2.1) and national (3.7) crime rates and every city kept violent crime to less than one incident per 1,000."

Virus Blows Plans for 'Beach Blast' in Roxbury
Roxbury Mayor Bob DeFillippo made the announcement at Tuesday's meeting of the Roxbury Mayor and Council, a Zoom remote session that saw the mayor also report that 12 deaths in the township are being attributed to the virus.
"As previously announced, we have canceled the Memorial Day parade," DeFillippo said. "And today, we must now announce that our community Beach Blast has been canceled. Also, regrettably, we are not planning to open The Horseshoe Lake Beach on Memorial Day."
The mayor said township officials are "tentatively" hoping to open the beach on June 27. That decision will depend on guidance from the state, DeFillippo said.
"We will continue to monitor our situation, and we will keep the community posted," he said. "A reminder, fishing in the lake is allowed."
All township Recreation Department events are also canceled until further notice.

Township of Roxbury partners with American Red Cross to host community blood drive - June 25
 Township of Roxbury will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross on Thursday, June 25, 2020 from 3:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. at the Township of Roxbury Senior Center located at 72 Eyland Avenue in Succasunna, NJ.
To Schedule an Appointment:
Individuals can schedule an appointment to give blood with the American Red Cross by visiting
RedCrossBlood.org using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or activating the Blood Scheduling Skill for Amazon Alexa.
Blood donation is essential: As the coronavirus pandemic has grown, the Red Cross has experienced an increase in blood drive cancellations across the country due to concerns about congregating at workplaces, college campuses and schools.
Blood donation is essential for hospitals to be able to take care of those who need it. This blood shortage could impact patients who need surgery, victims of car accidents and other emergencies, or patients suffering from cancer. The demand for blood products (blood, platelets and plasma) is constant, even when the world isn't in the midst of a global pandemic.
"We are excited to be hosting a blood drive here in town. If anyone is wondering what they can do to help during this pandemic, donating blood is a great way to give back." said Kellie Ann Keyes, Blood Drive Coordinator.
Additional questions can be directed to Kellie Ann Keyes at 973-448-2053.

This event is extremely popular with the Veterans and will fill quickly, so please contact your appropriate town representative to have your name added to the list as soon as possible. Last year in Hopatcong the first-come-first-served list filled within days and overflowed into a long waiting list. Click here to read more from Hopatcong Lake Regional News.
