the band concert last evening was quite nice. Those kids have really worked hard and played quite well.
However, I am about to go red on their jackass parents who can't seem to SHUT UP DURING THE MUSIC! Great Caesar's ghost, people--you made the effort to get there to the auditorium after work, and all you talk to everyone else about is how marvelous your precious child is and how well he plays--SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND SHUT YOUR COLLECTIVE PIEHOLES AND SHUT UP AND DON'T TALK OR SNORT OR RATTLE YOUR PAPERS.
Idjits.
ANYway, kids--good job. The program was "School Spirit" arranged by John Higgins (which sounded like the Wisconsin fight song to me), the theme from Ice Castles called "Ice Castles" arranged by Lester Harris, "Star Wars" also by Mr. Harris, and "Power Rock" arranged by Michael Sweeney.
There was one particular Boy, who will be turning 12 on Mother's Day, who was extraordinarily talented in playing both the snare drum and the bells. Little stinker.
