Happy Halloween!

Heat

Saturday, the band had their 2nd marching contest. This is one we had to schedule at the last minute because the one we originally had scheduled was cancelled.

Of course, the temperature dropped and just threw everything out of whack. Kids didn't do as well as they could have, but still managed to place, which was good. One more to go, and its back up at my college!

For those of you that don't live in the south and/or warmer temperatures, the fact that in the stands everyone was bundled up like a blizzard was coming through is sure to seem comical to you. I wish I had thought to take a picture and show you. Thinking about it now, it is kinda funny.

I was thinking about this the other day. Contests up north tend to have to deal with this temps (I believe it got down to the mid to low 40s) or lower, but for us not so much.

A few of our more, shall we say rustic? parents brought an ingenious device to keep them warm, besides an entire collection of blankets, they had propane heaters under their legs.

I've never seen these things, but if I ever move to someplace like say, Colorado, I'll be sure to invest in one. While the rest of us looked like cartoon characters that had been placed in the freezer, those parents were all nice and toasty.

Anyway, thanks for reading!

Do you remember

We all complained about lunches in school

I remember back when I was in school how I either took my lunch or just hit up the concession stands (mainly because of the cute cheerleader or ROTC chick I was crushing on at the time) so that I wouldn't have to eat that slop they served in the cafeteria.

My guess is that many of you had a similar opinion of your cafeteria's food in school. Well, it was brought to my attention yesterday that the cafeteria food up at the high school served maggots in their food this week.

I first thought this was just some kid attempting to play a Halloween prank on me, until one of the teachers up there told me that it was true. Not only was it true, but it was done on consecutive days!

Here's the thing...coaches run this school district...literally, almost every teacher, administrator, and school board member is a coach of some sort. I can imagine if one of their players got sick the uproar it would case, especially if was the football players.

We all know that football players are any school's pride and joy, especially during football season (at least when they're winning). Why is it when the other student's are nearly poisoned, nothing is done, even though parents and teachers complain?

I didn't even bother going to the school board. I used connection. hehehe It helps to have gone to high school with the health inspector. Needless to say, there will be an investigation.

I'm curious to know what you all think of this? Have you ever been anywhere where the school has served maggots? Isn't that like, totally gross, man?
