I was doing some work on the website today and took a look at the Director's Blog.  My last post was titled "SUMMER!"

It's amazing how fast time flies.  It seems like we just got finished with band camp a few weeks ago and now we're two weeks from Regionals, three from State, and BOA is just around the corner.  It always seems that time passes faster when we're busy doesn't it?  But that's not quite it either, is it?  Time seems to go by faster when you're doing something you enjoy.  Think about it - sitting in math class  for me seemed like an eternity (no offense to my arithmetical colleagues).  Each second on the clock seemed to drag by, stretching more and more the closer the end of the class came.  Part of it was that I didn't enjoy math, but part of it was that I had band in the period that followed!

We really are having a great time!  I know it doesn't always look like it when we are sweaty from the heat and humidity, dripping wet from the rain, layered in coats and sweatshirts to protect us from the cold, or just asleep from sheer exhaustion.  These kids take pride in playing their instruments, spinning their flags, and putting on top notch performances around this state (and others) and know that the time we spend is necessary (AND WORTH EVERY MINUTE). 

I know one day when I retire, several years from now, I'll look back and reflect on how fast it all flew by -  then I'll smile knowing that it will have been a pretty good time!
