Back to School, Again

School has started with a vengeance. Not only is it hectic, but it is extremely hot out lately, like over 100 degrees. This makes it hard to teach marching band...fell bad for the kids. The steel drum band has only 5 members, but they are all very good and it should be a good year.

We have started with "jump in the line" and Bri is playing lead so things go quickly because she is experienced.

Rewriting Bass Drum parts for the HS band because the parts that are written are very unrealistic for us. good news is that the kids are all trying very hard so it is progressing at a quicker pace. they are good readers which helps.

Big gig tonight with "salt city soul"...playing keyboards with a couple of old friends of mine in hutchinson for the emancipation day celebration. they are really good players and i am really looking forward to it. they do r and b classics and the singer is tops.

school is days away now and i am working towards preparing music for the school steel drum band.
