Awesome Things that Happened in Fall 2012
- I met lots of great new students, some of whom were new baby freshmen and some of whom I adopted from band and theatre.
- The second annual Combined Fall Concert with the middle school, in which I got to do my two favorite things: play and conduct!
- I made use of a rich pool of instrumental talent by having my kids play in concerts.
- I HAD MY FIRST FUNDRAISER!
- It actually made money!
- No big disasters happened!
- I discovered that part of the reason my kids are awesome is because their parents are awesome - parent volunteers made Coffeehouse the success it was.
- I WON THE "I INSPIRE GOLD" AWARD!
- The second annual Inspire was super fun and proved a perfect vehicle for getting to know the students so we could make more informed decisions with the other musicals!
- I had some kids go to "I Love A Piano" at Brenau, which was really fun and educational!
- I got to play Middle Treble Honor Chorus!
- I got to play the middle school's Winter Concert! Every year, I get so excited hearing the progress, especially within the 8th grade, since those kids are coming to me soon!
- I GOT TO BE IN THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE!
- I took two Master's degree courses and, as of this writing, am making As in both! (Check back with me in January, when the finals have been graded and grades posted...)
- I had 6 kids make All-State!
- I switched my kids to solfege and nobody died!
- Inside Joke Theatre
- "Recognize!" (taken from Scrubs)
- "Soiled it!" (taken from SpongeBob)
- "It's a joke."
- "It's a metaphor."
- "BOJANGLES"
- Football Eyes
- "Scooping is for ice cream parlors!" (K.B.)
- "Break hearts? BREAK FACE!" (R.B.)
- "WHAT NOW????" (J.T.)
