Well, now that my impending retirement is a week away, I guess I am going to have to find a new way to annoy people - you can all subscribe to and follow my blog! Since this seems to be what all the cool people are doing, I want to be in the in-crowd. Many of you may think that I forge new ground, but really I am a joiner, really.
I may or may not have suggested on various occasions to my soon-to-be former students that I am considering writing a book about my experiences as a high school band director, if a couple of them would be my publisher. Perhaps this blog will serve as a pilot for that book. In any case, I will try and tell the good and the bad, and the funny and perhaps not-so-funny experiences. Hopefully the stuff that I come up with will be entertaining to some, at least. I will try to not incriminate myself or give real names to any of my "victims"!
Entry #1 - From time to time, I will mention things on two lists - #1 list is what I'll miss, and #2, then, obviously, will be what I won't miss. Today, since it is end of the year cleanup, I will definitely NOT miss giving or correcting exams, writing junior reviews, and trying to calm the savage beasts (aka high school kids nearing the end of school year), preparing for graduation. Can you really enjoy 100 hs kids playing instruments in the same room at the same time in 80 degrees weather? Just stay cool - it will all be over soon!
Next post will definitely have something to do with my masters degree - Moving Equipment 101!
