TRUE CONFESSIONS

LD Bell won first Place at Super Regionals (5 state Area) and received commendation for outstanding Visual Effect.
I have seen 28 routines and get to go back to San Antonio for UIL State competition on Tuesday...I have Marching Band coming out of my ears... my dishmachine was playing the "Grand Boogie March" this morning.

Ten years ago my ex-wife and I went to Counseling and after a few sessions that poor Doctor told us that we should have been in a few years ago. We were DOA.
As the doctor handed me my hat she says;
"Steve, would you consider life to be a journey or a destination?"
Back then, for me, it was so much a destination that I did'nt even understand the question.
I understand it very well now.
Every kid that took part in a Band program this year won. It just may be that the lessons learned and values obtained will produce the greatest fruit in those who had to go home early.
The vine that feels the blade, bears the fruit.
Its not the medal, its the mettle.
The doing is the thing.
Of course there is nothing wrong with being SUPER REGIONAL CHAMPIONS !!!

MY DAUGHTER IS WORKING ON A POST THAT WILL DESCRIBE THE VERY HEARTFELT RESPECT SHE AND HER MATES HAVE FOR THEIR BIGGEST RIVAL....
THEY ARE SISTERS IN ARMS AND BLOOD BROTHERS AND VERY GOOD TRAVELLERS.
THIS MUTUAL RESPECT IS WHAT SHE VALUES MOST FROM HER JOURNEY.
NEED I SAY MORE?
