The Video Doesn't Lie!

Today was an incredible day for the band.  We played our show in full uniform at the pep rally, which was moved outside for the first time.  It was unbelievable. The entire event was so great outside.  The support of our students for all the sports, cheerleaders, step team, and band was so strong, it totally amazed me.  We have a great school and I was so proud to be a teacher in Roslyn.  Then I posted the video to our youtube account so that we could fix some problems for tomorrow's homecoming performance and competition at Copiague.  THE BAND IS SO INCREDIBLE.....JUST LOOK AT THAT VIDEO!  And the video comments from band members started flowing.  Our band IS a bunch of geniuses.  I was amazed at the comments and the things that the band members found that needed to be fixed!  And the positive support of each other was absolutely amazing.  I have never been more proud to be a band director.  I have been teaching a long time and have never felt this way.  No matter what happens today, let's not let the impressions of 6 people keep us from realizing the great strides we are taking as a band.  We will get those scores eventually!  Aim high, be patient.  We are building a dynasty and are ahead of schedule with our long term goal sheet, look at it, it's at the bottom of the website.  Check out the link to our youtube account with the comments.  Link to it from the roslynband.com website.  I am so psyched about tomorrow!
