Short Term Goals

Today is my day off. I only had to work 8 hours! We don't practice on Wednesdays. I never have. It allows the students to schedule dentist's and doctor's appointments or work on school projects. Most are probably at home taking a nap right now!

The goal for tomorrow in colorguard class is to perform all of work for the opener straight through without major mistakes. The goal for tomorrow in percussion class is to play the opener with 98% accuracy by memory. The goal in winds class is to play the fight song, Eye of the Tiger, and Mustang Sally much better with only minimal mistakes. The goal for tomorrow's after school rehearsal is to run the opener with no stops by the end of rehearsal. The goal for Sportsarama is to sound better than ever in the stands. The goal for the first football game at Pelion is to perform the opener for an audience. The goal for the first home game is to perform the entire show.

Goals, goals, goals! Why even have short term goals. Why? Because they let you see and feel progress. I certainly have long term goals in mind but why not work towards them. My long term goal for the year is to_____________. You fill in the blank but remember that worthwhile goals are difficult to obtain. That's why so few people have them and even fewer acheive them.

Above is another great daylily from our collection. I just like to put some color on each post.
