113 is back. Well… almost. We still have a long “to-do” list, but we’re so happy to call this updated studio home.

Fantastic day of performing & learning at the Music For All Philadelphia Wind Band Festival at West Chester University! Great performance by the Falcon Ensemble and amazing sessions to motivate our students! Excited to learn from the best band directors in the nation!

Shaquille O'Neal said, “My stepdad was a sergeant in the army—a serious, strong man of character. We had an excellent relationship. I once played at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks in my first season in the National Basketball Association. I had a terrible game. Afterward, he called me and asked why I played so badly. He wondered if it was the pressure of facing Patrick Ewing and the Knicks. I told him I felt pressure. He said, “Tomorrow, I want you home at 7:00 AM. Pick me up—we're going to see a family that has no home.” On the way, we encountered a family in need. My stepdad stopped, gave them money for their next meal, and said, “That’s pressure. You have everything; you’re weak. There’s no pressure in playing basketball and earning millions of dollars. Real pressure is felt by those who don’t know when or where their next meal will come from.” He told me to get out and help that family. I got out and saw a man with his wife and two children who had just lost their home. The man was looking for work. He told me he was cutting grass. I called a friend and asked him to get this man a job. I called another friend and said I needed an apartment for a family of four, promising to send a check the next day. They needed help. After that, I never felt pressure in a basketball game again because that family had real pressure.”

After 28 years as the PA announcer for the @sixers I’m officially retiring at the end of the season. I’ve had the best seat in the house announcing for the best fans in the world. Thank you to the players and the 76ers organization. What a privilege it’s been.

EMBIID WITH THE DAGGER 3!!!! SIXERS WIN!!!!!

Tyrese Maxey just passed Allen Iverson to become the Sixers all time leader in 3’s made!!!!!

Tyrese Maxey has officially surpassed Allen Iverson for the most made 3-Pointers in Philadelphia 76ers franchise history… Imagine how wide the margin is going to be by the time he’s done. Goodness gracious. Congratulations @TyreseMaxey

🎉 $1 Million! 🎉 Let’s hear it for Ebenezer Elementary School @CLSD_Schools, the 🥇 FIRST school in PA and 7th nationwide to reach $1 million raised for @KidsHeartChall! 👏 👏 👏 We are so grateful to @coach_bare, @MrFulkersonEB and everyone at Ebenezer! Congratulations! ❤️

Please, please, PLEASE look at Tyrese Maxey’s reaction after the lob to Joel Embiid… Then look at the benches reaction… I don’t know, man. What kind of award can we give Dr. Jonathan L. Glashow for the miracle that he did on Embiid’s knee? He deserves the world. It’s amazing.

"It feels so good. Every single time I step on the floor, I become emotional because the last few years have been extremely tough. I'm just happy. I don’t take it for granted. It's been a good feeling just being on the court doing what you love."

We stopped by Ebenezer Elementary @CLSD_Schools to kick-off this year's Kids Heart Challenge campaign, celebrating 30 years of @coach_bare leading Ebenezer to reach a BIG GOAL - $1 million!🎉 Thanks to all of our @KidsHeartChall schools for supporting our lifesaving mission.❤️
