...except I can't go to the thank god band camp's over party. Gotta go be a Buccaneer. Oh well - that's the breaks.
anyways, thank god band camp's over. i've never had a more stressful 2 weeks of band camp than I had this year. you would think both schools would contribute to this, but Red Land has been nothing but wonderful during these two weeks. I love my kids. There is so potential with this group and I can't wait to see what this season brings for them. Plus they bring me chicken caesar wraps and really awesome flavored water and kick ass ice cream. I love these kids!
and then... there's Cumberland Valley. to think, this was the school that I loved last year - these kids could stress me, but it wasn't for lack of trying. however, this year, it's been nothing but stressful and quite honestly, it's making me very sad. i've already had to derank someone from the section leader position because their attitude and demeanor was getting out of control. it's sad. I'm really trying to stay positive, but it's really hard when people around me are not. most of the kids are great, but i'm really starting to feel disjunct from the rest of the staff - like i don't fit in anymore.
the corps season is winding down. so far, we're still undefeated - and i'm really hoping we solidify ourselves as a corps - especially in the 6/8. I think we'll be okay - but i'm really stepping it up in these last two weeks.
alright - time to go.
