Friday Night Lights...

So this has been a long week and I'm very tired. But I also feel like this has been a very productive week of practices and hopefully we will be able to end the week on a good note. I just got in from the home football game and after I finish this blog I'll get a chance to finally eat dinner. I'll have to get back up at 6am so that I can be ready for our 8am-3pm practice and community exhibition tomorrow night. Needless to say it has been a long day. I've got to make some changes for our football games so that we can have better crowd control and so that we can just look better as a band while in the stands. Swansea is just a little bit different than what I'm used to. This is my 8th year of teaching and I've never really had a problem with couples in the band but...let me just say its not just my kids, it's a problem throughout the school. It's like some of these kids have never dated anyone before. I've never seen such displays of PDA...again it's not really with my kids, other than holding hands but still. Anyway, I will say that for this being only our second time on the football field it was a pretty decent run...from field level. I have no idea what the drill looked like from up top. Tomorrow we'll work our asses off to make some progress with our closer drill and to clean in the opener and ballad. I will say that I was disappointed that some of the kids had not memorized the closer already. It is just a lack of effort and practice on their part.
