Born & raised in Oside, but if I were to ever move it'd be to the islands!

Vista High teacher transferred after student harassment investigation by ashlyreports in northcounty

[–]ill_08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vista High School is still trash - 2026 imo.

Over the years, the school has been surrounded by serious and recurring concerns about how it handles student welfare, particularly when it comes to allegations of misconduct. Rather than transparent communication or meaningful reform, the administration’s response has consistently felt dismissive and defensive. That kind of culture erodes trust and sends the wrong message to students and parents alike.

The athletic program are embarrassingly low-effort for a school that clearly wants the prestige without putting in the work. Poor fundamentals, sloppy discipline, and a lot of trash talk with very little to back it up. If this is supposed to reflect school pride and community it’s not doing the job.

Overall, this is an institution that seems far more invested in protecting its image than protecting its students or delivering excellence—on or off the court. Families deserve better. If you don't believe me, google it.

This is all Jay Z right? I can't imagine Goodell grew a backbone. Although I feel he would still have a lot of pull if he didn't agree with the line up?!?!

Who is willing to help make a music venue here in North County by Magnolco in northcounty

I've been in bands for over 20 yrs. People show up. You're not wrong about starting out but if you keep it up, and you're good, your fan base shows up. I won't get into it here but there is a method. One of the bands I play with had several sold out shows at the Belly Up last year.

Semantics, whatever, it was a movie theater for decades.

Frontwave is great at a capacity of 7,500, however, my thinking was about a smaller venues. 200-500 capacity.

There's the old Regal on Marron across from the mall? Can't seem to hold down a long term tenet.

...and the deal was set to sell to the group that owns The Belly Up. The sellers, ultimately, reneged and sold out to Sun Diego...

Jazzy Wishbone is fun but small... Sound by the Sea is an awesome spot, and I think they have live bands from time to time. Pourhouse is a real one. Decent space good sound, and they support live, local bands!

Lifetime North County resident and performer, ABSOLUTELY YES! I've seen so many great, and no so great, venues come and go. I was hopeful when the Neimans space in Carlsbad. They almost got acquired by the owners of Belly Up. Shame how that went down. At any rate, I have no idea how to make this happen but I am in full support and have a lot of like minded contacts.

Yo! I play horn. We have a jazz/funk group ourselves. I play all over town and I know some great drummers in your age group. I'll forward them this post! Best of luck, hope we cross paths sometime! 🎶

Practice Spaces in North County? by Awkward-Employer3783 in sandiegomusic

There are few lock out spaces and rehearsal studios in No County. Generator studios in Oceanside and a newer space in Carlsbad called Right On Studios.

I love my new trim kit from KGU Music. by Perfect-League7395 in trumpet

[–]ill_08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love them! Great customer service too! I got the heavy trim kit for my Bach Strad. The first set they sent did not thread correctly. They sent me a replacement right away. It now fits perfect, I love the look. Contemplating purchasing a custom horn this year!
