Well, this past week was busy as hell, but I got a lot done. So much start up is involved for the whole year right off the bat. I hope that the hard work up front pays off for the year. I am spending tons of time getting the "structure" of band classes in place.
The freshmen are starting to settle in and sound okay. The third period will be the fun period and fourth will be a little more real. The third period is scary good sometimes and it's only two weeks in. Hell yeah. Fourth period has some lazy attitudes/apathetic looks. I am really curious to do a comparison of students whether they come from Plains or Ridge and see if they come more prepared from one or another. It pisses me off that they won't use the same fucking method book. Ridge uses Foundations for Superior Performance. Completely amusical, but has so much great shit in it and I like it. The Plains guys use all kinds of different crap. It would be really nice if they all came to me with the same book. Imagine that.
Today was a good birthday. Looking forward to an exciting week as well.
