A couple of things as we wind down the month of June and the summer lesson program.
1) I have really enjoyed doing lessons this summer and am really looking forward to having some down time before the school year begins again! Planning music selections, spending time at Riemans looking for choir music and preparing for our first child in about a month!
2) In Sunday's Des Moines Register, there was a great article about the DCI (Drum Corps International) show on Thursday this week in West Des Moines. It's a great show--go see it! The article talked about a study done about the physical nature of these drum corps. It's a great read. There was another piece of info yesterday.
3) I never met the head coach at Aplington-Parkersburg who was shot and killed this morning, but from what everyone says, he was a great guy. It makes me, and many more teachers, think about how dangerous schools can be and the steps we need to take to make sure students are safe.

Summer fun--weather??
Well, I started lessons this week and I really enjoy doing them. It is more laid back and relaxed than the regular year and students are ready to do some learning!
I made a trip over to Mingo after lessons today and discovered the storms of last night left a lasting impact. Below are some pics I took with my phone. Needless to say, I won't have electricity in the band room for a while, so that means no 
email as well. 
email as well.
