"Hey Al! We heard something about a performance Friday night before San Antonio." You heard correctly.
"What? Why?" Wait, let's talk about this week's game first.
"Why? What's happening this week?" Football game, and the performance is BEFORE the game, just like homecoming. The times are listed on the volunteer site, so go there to see what happens when.
"How come?" It's Junior High Night, and they'll be doing something for/with them during halftime.
"Groovy! So we can leave after performance, right?" Yeah, you could, but then you'd miss the return of the 3rd-quarter meal this week.
"Wait a second. I would never say 'groovy.'" My blog, my rules. So there.
"What's on the menu?" Jambalaya, courtesy of the omnipotent and most wonderful Duncan & Jill Granger! As always, $5 per person.
"Do we have to wait until the 3rd quarter?" At this point, yes, because I think it would be a good idea to help out with the junior high kids wherever we're needed. I don't know where that is yet, but you know the A-#1 Rule of The Pit Crew: FLEXIBILITY IS KEY.
"Y'know what? I think I liked it better when Duncan & Jill were running the show. They're a lot cooler than you, plus they don't say words like 'groovy.'" I totally agree!
"NOW can we talk about next week?" Yes. Thursday night's game...
"Wait, THURSDAY night???" Yeah, I know...
"But that's Halloween!" Yes, and I'm 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)!
"Well, that sounds like fun." And we get to play at Sam Houston that night, too. So we get something resembling a haunted house for Halloween.
"Geez, that was pretty mean." What can I say? Senior-itis is kickin' in something fierce.
"Now I REALLY can't wait for Duncan & Jill to kick your old butt outta office." Me either!
"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.
"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?" For now. Indoor Percussion happens next spring and was a blast last spring. I hope you'll plan on helping out for that as well. Bad thing: more props. Good thing: all indoors!
"Okay. So what time are we leaving for Cravens?" Somebody please shoot me...
