Goodbye summer, hello band!! :)

So, yesterday was the first day back in the band world! Although I was dreading my relaxation coming to an end, it was really nice to be excited about my job again. In case you don't know know, I'll catch you up...

I'm just about to start my 5th year teaching, and last year was my first year at Coyle MS in Rowlett as the assistant band director. Although I'm not technically a high school director, my head director and I help out here & there during marching season. I know it sounds crazy to give up my last week of "summer" to go hang out with teenagers in the blistering Texas sun, but I do it because deep inside, I'm a marching band nerd...

Anyway, I love my job, and I'm just very excited to start with our own little middle school kids next week. It'll be our second year, so things should run a little more smoothly. It's challenging, but it seems to be A LOT more rewarding than any other job on the planet! More to come later...
