All-State Auditions 2010

We've had a busy weekend! All-State Jazz Band auditions were held on Friday with Concert Band auditions today. My school had a student make jazz and another make concert bands. Three of my private lesson students made concert bands. I am proud of all of the students who auditioned.

Outside my window...Sunny with a great deal of snow still on the ground.

I am thinking...God has blessed me so much.

I am thankful for...electricity and heat!

I am wearing...jeans and an Arkansas State University sweater.

I am remembering...the fun from this weekend spent with good friends.

I am going...to study and clean tonight.

I am currently reading...The Real George Washington by Jay Parry.

I am hoping...to get caught up on work tomorrow.

On my mind...spring break.

From the kitchen...a hot cup of cocoa

One of my favorite things...sleeping when it is raining outside.

From my picture journal...the girls!

Snow!

It snowed all night Thursday and all day yesterday! Our area received around 10 inches of snow. All area schools were closed Friday and a few friends stayed the night (thanks to our gas heat). We made dinner, snow cream (a first for everyone but me), and played games. This morning, we had a delicious breakfast and played in the snow.

A great start to the weekend!

Snow Storm 2010?

Today is the anniversary of the 2009 ice storm that wrecked havoc on northeast Arkansas. The exciting thing is that we are expecting another winter storm tonight or tomorrow. As you can imagine, the stores are sold out of bread and milk.

Up too late...again!

I need to go to bed earlier. The AM alarm seems to come earlier every morning.

Today was a teacher in-service day and I spent most of my time surrounded by stacks of music. Scores, solos, trios...you name it, I looked through it. In the process, I managed to select solos and ensemble pieces for the beginning and intermediate band woodwinds and narrowed down the high school concert band assessment pieces.

Outside My Window......Dark and cloudy.

I am thinking...about my spring calendar. It is filling up quickly!

I am thankful for...my loving husband, family and friends.

I am wearing...slacks, orange top and tennis shoes.

I am remembering...that I need to mail a letter in the morning.

I am currently reading...The Real George Washington.

I am hoping...that we decide on concert band assessment music tomorrow!

On my mind...teachers teaching to the test. I have many thoughts about this and will share them (hopefully) over the coming weeks.

Pondering these words..."My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." ~Thomas Jefferson

From the kitchen...husband is making dinner!

One of my favorite things...laughs with my husband.
