Tonight is our first football game of the season and the beginning of the end of my Friday nights. Until the end of October (and possibly beyond) I will be in the bleachers, not rooting for our sucky football team, but supporting SS and the marching band.
This year's theme is Blood, Sweat & Tears - 40th Anniversary...we are playing Lucretia Macevil, God Bless the Child, You Make Me So Very Happy and More & More.
Now, I'm not a fan of BS&T and I only know God Bless the Child (I had to take my band shirt off just to get the song titles) so I don't find our show this year as interesting as last year's Sinatra/Jazz. If it weren't for You Tube I wouldn't even know what these doods looked like.
But I will still be there cheering them on for every game and competition this season. Cause I'm a parent and it's what we do...

I love me some Blood, Sweat and Tears! "Spinning Wheel" is my fave.
Our band is doing a 70's tribute for halftimes...Kiss, The Eagles, Village People...and...someone else, can't remember. It should be hilarious. After all, I'm a child of the 70's, so that's my era.
You need to post videos of the performances...eventually, I mean.
LOL, last night was not our season opener, but a jamboree at a school in a neighboring county. Their band played Queen, AC/DC, and Korn. I was more than a bit surprised to hear AC/DC, and especially Korn, from a high school marching band.
I will be spending many a night at the football stadium, watching, working concessions....there's a kickoff dinner next week, and I've already been down to help paint the fieldhouse. I think it's all fun now, but I'll probably be saying "NEVER AGAIN!" by the time the season's over.
I'm a high school teacher, and know how hard those band kids work. Ours have been out in the student parking lot in the hot sun for the last 3 weeks, tuning up their music, routines, etc. Here's to a great season!
Girl...
I done got the DVR all ready for some Tru Blood. Fer shure.
OK, not being a redneck anymore...
Seriously, I am looking forward to it, because (a) Vamps, hello!, (b) it takes place in Louisiana--and I'm all over southern locales, and (c) it has Anna Paquin in it, whom I adore.
I'm also looking forward to the new offering from JJ Abrams--"Fringe." Sci-Fi is my thing, you know. Oh, and the new 90210 series...because I graduated with the original West Beverly Hills gang, so it will be fun to relive it all over again, 15 years later. I also graduated with the Bayside High kids, too...but let's not go there, even though Zack Morris was rather cute.
