On Tuesday Morning...

...I am getting ready for clasas. Yesterday was uneventful. I went to class, I went to band, where we read down the Opera show we're doing in two weeks (I've already dubbed it the Looney Tunes Show) and then I did Challenges.

Have I mentioned how much I don't like to do Challenges? It's a wonderful system we have in the band for ensuring that the best people are in, but it does mean that Fridays, without fail so far, I have to stay after normal mraching band class to audition for my spot in next week's show. One of these days I want to be not challenged. I don't think it will happen until next year, and even then, it still might not.

Either way, I'll know whether or not I botched mine today (You see, if I have to keep doing them, I'm more afraid that I will unintentionally screw one up and then ahve to spend time practicing my marching fundamentals for all of practice instead of doing marching shows, which are much cooler and make the time go by faster.)

Oh, well. Gotta get ready for my 10 AM discussion section. (Which leads into a nasty three hour block of two classes... but both classes have been interesting so far, and so they're manageable.)

Personally, I wouldn't be in marching bad. But then, you go to UofM, which actually has a cool marching band. Mine at NHS sucked (or was it the director?), and soured me on the whole experience.

I suppose that, had I gone to CU, I would have been in the Glenn Miller Golden Buffaloes Marching Band. Did you know he (Glenn) played Trombone? And that his 'bone is silver? It sits in a glass case on the top floor of CU's Old Main. I've gotten the chance to drooooooool all over the case. :-)

Sounds like a ncie one to look at. And when you say NHS, I think of my high school (which had those same initials), so you'll ahve to expand that acronym out for me a bit.

Niwot (prn: NYE-watt) High School. Aka, Nitwit High.

Chief Niwot of the Arapaho tribes was a significant historical figure, but far be it from any living Coloradan to know why. His name means lef-handed in the Arapaho's language. Hence, we live in the Left Hand River Valley, and our school news was the South Paw. Hee.
