First Thoughts


I just saw the movie "Julie and Julia" tonight. It was really wonderful. I wish that I could cook. My mom always says, "If you can read, you can cook." It has never been that easy for me but this movie inspired me to try. Hopefully I will be able to at some point in my life.

Tomorrow night is our parent exhibition at the high school where I teach color guard. I absolutely love my job. Many people don't know what color guard is. For a basic definition it is the girls with flags that "dance" around the marching band. This is the easiest way to describe it to someone who has no clue. It is very short sighted though. To completely describe color guard would take and entire blog. Maybe someday I'll go into detail but I won't now.

I feel like I have been teaching at band camp for the entire summer even though it has only been 4 weeks. This has been the longest band camp that I have ever done though. The kids are doing so well I just hope that they aren't getting burned out already. It is important, at least in my opinion, to keep a steady but somewhat slower pace so that the "magic" of the show isn't lost in the first few weeks of performing. That is just my opinion though.

Well I guess that's about it for now. Maybe someday I'll have something really interesting to write about but who knows. Only time will tell.
Goodnight bloggers and readers!
