But I was a band kid, and an orchestra kid, and a strolling strings kid, and I was the teacher's aid for JV band....

Come to think of it, my senior year I only took 2 classes--both were AP College courses, and the rest of the time I was in music classes. DANG, I was a professional slacker back then too.

Hey, you can't "letter" in Art! Besides, what was it, an R (for aRt)?

I didnt know it was physically possible, till my AP Art teacher dropped the letter on my desk and said I won 3 blue ribbons at state (which I did not know she entered me in).

Geek. Waved a flaggy around? Couldn't even play the clarinet?

I wielded it like a deadly weapon, and kept those reed folks from picking on my girls. Nothing corrects bad behavior faster than an "accidental" shin-clipping at a full jazz run.

Even the color guard was scared of me. I played the drums. Nothing like drumstick shrapel spinning off the cymbal to make everyone duck! A couple of times there was brass cymbal shrapnel as well, until the band director gave me a lecture on 'cost of enthusiasm' and told me to tone it down a little. The chick holding the cymbals was secretly relieved, I think.

I was gonna join the drum core, they wanted me to BIG TIME, because they wanted it to be more "dance-ish". ESPECIALLY the symbols.

Plus, I was the only girl large enough to hold the 22" symbols.

But, I didn't.

Sent the string cheese, but she hates chicken salad.
The only fruit she likes is apples, strawberries, and pineapple.
She hates veggies, but I think I could sneak the spinach leaves in.

It's hard planning sensible foods for a really picky kid!


Do I get to be the 40+ quote spot?

I love crashing the cymbals, but had to play the snare when marching.

In orchestra I was the cymbal crasher when I wanted to play the snare part. So I compensated by crashing the cymbals really loudly behind the hired-gun snare drummer. He cringed. I love making people cringe. Little old ladies in the choir do it all the time when I'm around, so getting a cringe from another percussionist was bliss!

Who was the one who had to get the machete out of the shed because I was too scared of gigantic fishing spiders?

[Of course, I failed to tell Michelle they're almost as big as my hand and they breed in DH's shed. Not only that, when disturbed, they don't back down, they raise their front legs to fight.]
