Jazz Band Rocks my Socks

I'm sitting in with the JCHS jazz band this season. The talent in that group amazes me. Eighteen year old kids who hold more passion for music and their instruments than half of the people that I studied music with in college........ Yay for them!

The band I conduct is holding its concert next Monday. I am SO ready for it to be over. Middle School age peformers have no concept of how absolutely stressful organizing this kind of event can be.

26 more school days (with students...I go a week past that) I will survive!
