Band Camp Quotes from Today

Many of you know that I am now spending my days sweating at band camp. Our students are GREAT this year. They are dedicated, motivated, and very enthusiastic. They already play so well! If we can get them to march as well as they can play, we're going to have an amazing group this year. 

Anyway, my friend (and fellow band director) Kaci wrote down our favorite quotes of the day... all from our sweet new band members... Read and have some laughs:

1. "Nice job, vet." -spoken by an 8th grade rookie when the vet messed up

2. "Glad you didn't say Edwards. This would have ended up in your eye (his lyre)." -spoken by a rookie to a staff member when asked who his fav. Nascar driver was

3. "How the heck did I get rookie of the day???" -spoken by a rookie when he made a bunch of mistakes on a part of music we asked him to play. This was followed by another rookie telling him "I think it is just a random selection".
