DJ go home

Last week, we had our first football game. Everything came off without a hitch, except for the fact that the principal hired a DJ to play at the game.

Now, before you jump on his case, it is important to know that he's the kind of guy that will say yes to anyone just to keep from conflict, not to mention his daughter is in band.

speaking of which, it seemed like everytime we got ready to play something, the DJ would crank something, including during halftime!

Now, some may think that the crowd would be more into hearing "popular" music and rappers cussing rather than a high school band, which is the reason a DJ was hired, but the fact is, the crowd (who rarely react to anything) actually got up, danced, and cheered when we played as opposed to when the DJ played.

Keeping on that note, the mass outrage about the DJ has been more than surprising. I don't need to tell you that band isn't exactly the most popular "club" down here, but people (including those that have nothing to do with us) were highly offended that the school board, Principal, and whoever would hire a DJ and that they tried to play over us, especially during out halftime performance!!!

The only people supporting the DJ are the people that wanted to hear that type of music and the ones that wanted to hire him, which is like maybe 10 people from my understanding.

The battle is still ongoing, and I will keep you posted. The next home game is this week. I'm sure things will be resolved by then...well, they would in most places. I can only hope down here, though.

So, what do you think, dear readers. Do you think they were right in this hiring of the DJ, or do you have common sense and side with us? I'm curious to know what you have to say about this situation.

Thanks for reading!

How can any university be so disorganized and incompetent?

The little woman has been going to school in an effort to get certified to become a teacher. Of course, she can only go at night, but that's not the point.

When I was in college, it seemed as if I was always complaining about how slow the financial aid line was or something along that line. Truth be told, though, I'd be in and out of there in 10 minutes top.

Well, at the school the little woman is going to (which is the only one in this part of the state that offers the program), they apparently don't know what they're doing. I say this because it looks as if the whole school was at the financial aid line, so much so that it was wrapped around a good portion of campus.

Top top that off, they were being Nazis about letting anyone in the door. Last week, I went there with the little woman and they wouldn't let me in, so I had to sit out in the lobby. Now, we got there at a little after 7 and it was about 8 when we got inside, but by the time she got done with everything it was 5!!!

Yes, it took that long, but why? Well, for one thing, they had an entire coliseum full of people and were hell-bent on seeing only 5 people at a time. The next thing that caused the lengthy wait was that they would go on breaks every 5 minutes. There also was the little thing about them being slow and the excuse of having a new system.

Ugh! Needless to say, here it is a week later and it still frustrates me to even think about how bad that was. If, when I go back to school, I have this many issues, I swear I'm gonna go postal or something!

anyway, thanks for reading!!!
