OK, so tomorrow is our first home football game, which means it's also the first time the band will perform in front of an actual audience...without stopping...no second tries. I'm actually a little nervous!!!
It's so different being a coach and just watching, rather than doing. I can't make the girls do something right or will them to remember all the steps. I just have to hope they get it all down!
Last night we ran what we have of the show all the way through on the field for the first time, and although some parts are still pretty rough, I have to say it's coming together. And the coolest part is seeing stuff that I made up coming to life in front of me! There's a section that I changed like 15 minutes before we ran the show, and when the girls finally got it, it looked sooo cool! It just made me so proud! And it's just that thrill of imagining something in your mind and then seeing it executed in real life by real people...awesome awesome.
Also, I just freaking love high school football games. Even though I'm totally too old now. I just love the atmosphere, because you KNOW everything is going down during the football game. Anything that's happening in high school, is happening in the stands of that stadium!
I will say I'm pretty sad that most of my HSM buddies are headed off to school. It's a good thing I've got color guard to keep me busy. OH! And I'm also helping my friend coach a middle school speech team (again, something I never participated in during junior high or high school, so I'm sure I'll learn a lot), and I'm glad those things will keep my free time structured. So that I don't just sleep all day.
OK, why am I still at work? I'm gonna go. While I still can, lol.
Until later!
