STUMP THE BAND

Last night, I had the privilege of going to my son's Spring Band Concert. This was soppose to last one hour. Instead, it lasted three and on half hours. First, they had problems with, the stage lighting. This delayed the beginning of, the concert. Fortunately, or unfortunately, my son's sixth grade Band preformed first. Then the seventh grade performed. Then, the Jazz Band performed. Then, the eighth grade band performed. Then, the seventh and eighth grade Band performed. Then, the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade Bands performed together.

The worst part of it all was that, they handed out special awards during all of this. Not to mention that, it was freezing in the Auditorium. My former husband, his wife, and their daughter left early. My Husband caught a ride with them. He was boared to tears. I say that, it was all too much for him, and was getting on his nerves. He actually said that, if our son had performed more, then he would have stayed. I actually don't blame him, it was pretty boaring. Interesting at times, but pretty boaring.

I did love when, all of the grades performed together. They played "Go Big Red." Not my College team fight song of choice, but it was nice. I'm not an Oklahoma Sooner fan. I'm an Oklahoma State fan. Lastly they played, "The Hey Song." For all of us older folks, this was "Doctor Who." You remember the lyrics? It sort of goes, Doctor Who... oo... hey, Doctor Who. My son and I, have been arguing over, the actual name of this song for days. What can you do? They know everything at this age. Ya'll enjoy the music too!
