Not sure what to say?

Does anyone have movies of the concerts of the AP Giannini orchestra from 1969 to 1972 ?

was my favorite teacher for music and Giannini junior high in Sanfrancisco

Joe was an amazing individual, outgoing, friendly, always reaching out, including others. As an counselor, dean and AP I'd run into Joe at meeting, gatherings and parties.

I realize this late but I was very sorry to hear about Joe's passing. Mr Rosenblatt was my orchestra teacher in 7th and 8th grade at Levittown Memorial High School. He was fresh out of college and so full of enthusiasm. He loved music and teaching students. Condolences to his family.

PS I became a music teacher here in Brooklyn

I'm a cousin he was truly a great guy and extremely kind to me and my family

Mr Rosenblatt had a big influence on my life from 7th-9th grade in orchestra. We're talking 1967-70 at APGiannini Jr High School. He raised the bar and expected me to reach it. Otherwise he'd yell til I understood in my young brain that he actually really cared about me. When I figured that out I felt special and very lucky.
His passion for the music was so impressive as he conducted us and waved his baton, piercing us with those amazing eyes and pushing us always to do our best. ...

I now realize that if you are waiting for someone else to do something for you, it's never going to happen. My high school principal, Joe Rosenblatt, visited 192 countries in his lifetime and was absolutely fearless, absolutely larger than life. The message is this: you are the one that has been waiting to save yourself. You are the only one that can make it happen. You are the one you have been waiting for. Anyone whose life he touched is all the better for it.

Condolences to his family. 50 years, and I can hear his voice as if it were today. Some things you never forget, and positive reinforcement is one of them.

My sympathies to all of Joe's family. My husband,Jim worked with Joe at Giannini Middle school many years ago, and always enjoyed him, and spoke highly of him.my he rest in peace.
