Concert Time!!

So, I went to the band concert today, and it was awesome!! First and foremost, these were Junior High kids and they did stuff that was better than WHS as well as having a more diverse range of instuments (3 Euphoniums? I nearly cried!). Although I will mention that it was heavily lopsided in favor of the girls, well over 2, maybe 3-1.

But yes, the music was fantastic! They had a wide selection of music, including a 70's tribute, a John williams tribute, the marine's official march (that was a bit wtf) as well as Disney music! Fantastic work kids! Of course, the program had a questionairre in it on things we liked etc, but I didn't fill it out.

I waved to my students as I left the concert and said hi. I also saw one at the conbini afterwards and talked to him for a bit.

Getting ready for the concert to start, this is the dad of one of my students, who also happens to be an english teacher!

The students pulled out garbage bags and put on headbands, I'm not really sure why. Awesome though!


For the disney tribute, they had tons of these cutouts with students running by holding them. It was so hard not to break out laughing really hard during this. absolutely hysterical.

WOW, that video of the Mickey Mouse club made me feel like a kid again! "Who's the leader of the band that's made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! :-) Tell the kids I thought they did a wonderful job.
