READ THIS!
If you found this website you found it on your own. This is my blog. Not the bands or the schools or anybody else's. It is my blog. You didn't go through a publicly paid website to find it. You came to it yourself. All the links on websites like that have been removed. I though about removing the blog all together but that would not be fair, especially to me. I enjoy it! and after hearing from many people, they enjoy it too.
So what if I write what I think? I have a serious problem with HONESTY! If that is a bad trait, then I am all about being bad. I tell it like it is. So if you don't like what you are reading, see that little red X at the top right hand corner...click it now!
As Johnny Storm would say "FLAME ON!" If you must. The comment section is still open for business. Flame me, blame me, shame me but be aware, I will fight back.
Now some real news, a few 8th grade band parents did come to our booster club meeting last night and I was sure glad to have an audience to listen to me talk about one of my favorite subjects...BAND. I could have gone on for hours. It was fun for me. Do I wish more parents would have come? Yet bet! Was it a good start? Yep, that too. I was glad to explain the scheduling of band to them and I was also glad to answer their questions.
We also had Jazz band again this morning, and we are getting better. It was fun. It is suppose to be fun...Isn't it?

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
YOU GO MR. B!!
GOD HAS GIVEN YOU A TALENT NOT MANY HAVE, SO USE IT!
NOW MY MORNINGS WILL GET BACK TO NORMAL.
WORK, COFFEE, MR. B'S BLOG!
Yay for you! I'm so glad you are back. Not fair to those of us who look forward to your words of wisdom! Keep on bloggin' and we will keep on readin' :) Denise
Wonderful to see this Mr. Brady! I am a big fan of your cerebral musings! Keep it up and keep doing what you do so well!
Such a delight to know you're still "bloggin" strong! I am so proud you are the band director at Dutch Fork High... I just love it!
The fact is, Mr. Brady, that you are a public servant. You are employed by the state and the county. With that, comes a higher level of expectation for your public behavior and YES this blog is public. You could have chosen to make it an anonymmous blog, but you didn't. You put your picture right there on the front page for everyone to see and you mention Dutch Fork by name. Within this blog you have said specific things about specific people and specific schools. Regardless of what your intentions are, everything that you do is going to be highly scrutinized as long as your salary is paid by our taxes. I emplore you to think long and hard about what you post before you hit the submit button.
And once again Mr./Ms. Anonymous speaks...if you feel so strongly about him posting things on his blog then at least have the gumption to put your name! And yes, he is a public servent and should be held to a higher level of expectation but I don't recall him ever 'bashing' anyone by name or school on this blog. He may state facts or his opinion, but thats all it is...and you insinuating otherwise is just rude!!! I think its a shame that some people (and most of the time...anonymous people) like to take his words and twist them into what they want to believe they mean. Yes...he can be negative sometimes but quite honestly, he is never as negative as some of the comments I've seen on here. Or some of the comments I've heard from other band supporters in public before. And he is not saying anything on here that he wouldn't say directly to you if you apprached him personally and asked him what he thought. As his wife...I can tell you how much he loves his job and how passionate he is to lead his students to success, but I shouldn't have to do that. He's not talking about students individually, and he's not pointing out other individuals. He would never do that here and if you think he is then you are one of those who are making this blog into what you want it to be. He's is simply making observations as a band director....lastly, whats most interseting to me is that he has blogged for years and not once has he been accused of saying specific things about specific people and specific schools. Until now....
