Howdy,
Today I am reliving a part of my childhood with my 8th grade son. When I was in 7th grade, my Minnesota small town middle school was selected to play at the Minnesota Music Educators Association annual conference. It's a huge deal. Bands from all over the state--middle school, high school, and college--try out to play at this conference. Like lots of bands. And if you are
chosen, it's a HUGE--I'm talking MASSIVE--honor.
I don't remember much except that we marched in to a room played a song in our matching ties, and marched back out.
Well, today I get to see how it's changed. Because my son is playing at the same conference but 33 years later! His band was the only middle school band selected to play. Over 100 bands auditioned and only 10 were chosen.
And I get to chaperone. I seriously cannot wait.
Now on to this week's fun!
