This is the lovely term my husband calls homecoming. It is the 6th game of the year with Webster. This is the last year we will play them since they dropped out of 4A and went down to 3A. With this we will gain Cascia Hall. For some reason this excites me. I loved going to Cascia Hall and seeing their campus. I know it is a private school and catholic to boot, but I always wanted to go to school there. I neither lived in Tulsa nor was I catholic but I always wanted to go there. I highly doubt I would have enjoyed it because they don't have a band program and that was my one happiness in high school. Now my second was choir, but band was my number one happiness. So back to homecoming. I always hated this time of year because I never felt like I belonged anywhere during the week and even coming home and living here I still don't know how I belong in homecoming. College was the same way. I never understood all the pagentry of a popularity contest. I think if the school body as a whole got to choose the queen and her court instead of just the football players etc it might make more since when my niece and nephew get to high school. I hope it is more fun when they get up there. I highly doubt it will happen, but there is always hope.
Tonight will be dress rehearsal for the Pryor contest and for Regionals. Regionals is our last marching contest of the year. I just pray we don't get a rainbow. A 1, 1, 2 would be great but straight 1s would be awesome. I just hope the kids get a 1 and I know they are very capable of it. They have the sound and the talent, now they just need the confidence to go out there and have a 1 run through. (For my non-music readers our judging is based on a 1-5 rating. 1 is the best and 5 being the worst.) Tomorrow I won't be able to attended because of asking for majority of fall break but because oft schedule I get to spend most of Tuesday at Regionals. I will be exhausted at work, but it is so worth it to spend a couple of hours with my husband.
As I close out another blog post I must say I enjoy this and wish I was more interesting and had more to say about being a great band wife. I will probably do one soon. I am making this up as I go and just hope and pray I am doing it all right. I hope to be the best one I can and make him proud.
