Finally!! We have a band director for the school (she's from Michigan and is supposed to be hard-core, so that's a plus for me - I won't have to do what I did last year which was basically baby-sit some of the students). We switched shows, too. Now we're doing the Magic of Mangione. Those of you in the music can attest that a ramped-up version of Carmen is definitely ALOT harder for middle/high school students than a Mangione show actually written for high schoolers... I can breathe a sigh of relief, thank you very much!
I can also stop writing drill... awesome! It was going to be a struggle having CARMEN ready for camp. I'm sure the drum captain who was doing it on his own was further ahead than me, since I was busier working on instrumentation and balance.
Wow - I just found out we're getting paid alot more than last year - this will cover my Christmas presents as well as whatever else I was planning to use it for!
Time to go - goodnight!!
