"Hey Al! Is that Friday night performance still going on?" Of course.
"Awww, man!!! Why?" Hang on, junior, we got other things going on before then.
"Like what?" Pit Crew meeting Tuesday night in the band hall to discuss all things San Antonio related. 7:00 pm or whenever we get done giving candy to the band for the annual Trick-or-Treat Band Night. That starts at 6:30, so why doncha bring up some candy for the little whippersnappers?
"Wow, 'whippersnappers.' Hey Grampa: 1940 is calling, they want their terminology back." Lucky for you I've already taken my teeth out for the night...
"{{{sigh}}} What else you got for us, ya old geezer?" Well, there's Thursday night's football game...
"Oh yeah, the Halloween game...." Yes, and I'm still encouraging everyone to dress up for Halloween that night! And you DON'T want to miss the 3rd-quarter meal that night: green-chili chicken enchiladas, courtesy of Gramma Biz (aka my mom)!
"That's it? Nothing special about this game?" I could tell you what I'm dressing up as.
"Does it involve purses?" Maybe.
"No, good Lord please, just shut up. NOW can we PLEASE talk about the Friday before San Antonio?" Didn't read my e-mails or texts again, did ya? Click HERE for everything you could possibly want to know about San Antonio weekend.
"Why can't you just tell me here?" Why do you have to be so argumentative? Because I already typed that up before you kids started beating down my door demanding more answers. Where's my glasses?
"And then we're done for the year?" No, there's still the Lone Star Drumline competition. THIS is the show to see, as far as I'm concerned. Some of the best drumlines in the area competing here. Wall-to-wall drums & percussion. And the best part of working this show? NO PROPS!!!! So please plan to work this, even if your kid isn't in drumline. This is always my favorite show of the season.
"And THEN we're done for the season?" Maybe, just depends on if we play in the Jerrydome for any of our playoff games. If that happens, the kids will likely put on some version of the show, full or scaled-down, I'm not sure. Props are always a possibility, but we'll cross that bridge once we pass the sign that says "We will use props." Until then, nothing to worry about.
"And THEN we're done?" Apparently so: I learned this week that the drumline voted against doing indoor percussion this year. HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure Color Guard is gonna do Winter Guard, and it would be VERY nice for everyone to support them because they have stuff to carry, but they don't have a Pit Crew of their own. More details about that after Christmas, so stay tuned!
"Hey, this is almost exactly the exact same thing as the LAST blog entry you griped at us with." I am nothing if not efficient. And whatever you do, DON'T ask me what time....
"Hey Al, what time are we leaving for Sam Houston on Thursday?" {{{looks for cheap airline tickets back to Spain}}}
