My Hardest Class in School is...

Well let's see is there a class that not only expects you to learn the material but also apply it instantly? How about a class that requires you to spend at least 12 hours outside of class time after school a week and even on some Saturdays? Ok here is the worst part. The teacher! He expects the students to do all this and be absolutely quiet in class. He also makes the students do their tests in front of the other students while they watch! Now here is the hard part. Just because you do everything on the paper correct, you only get an 80! To get a 100 you have to put some of yourself into your work and the teacher won't even tell you what to do to add that extra part. You have to figure that out yourself. What if you mess up? This guy tells you..In front of the other students! Is there such a class? You bet! Everyday in the band room and on the practice field.

I am very proud of my students thus far. I hesitate to say it, but I feel we are ahead of the game right now. Our feet are slowly catching up to our playing and flag ability. If we keep progressing like this, other groups will be hard pressed to catch up but who really cares. We are having fun. I always have said "Practice makes band fun!"

Is it hard? Maybe but worth every bit in the end.
