Daddy takes over (again)

We interrupt this blog to bring you an important message from Jacob's daddy:

-----

I would like to use some techinques I learned from Pete Crawford to describe the Lee County High School Wind Ensemble's results from Thursday's Georgia Music Educators Association District Two Large Group Performance Evaluation (also known as District Concert Festival):

plus a SUPERIOR in Sightreading equals STRAIGHT SUPERIORS, the HIGHEST rating possible!!!!!!!

The Symphonic Band also performed very well, earning an overall Excellent rating (with a Superior in sightreading).

Meanwhile, the drumline spent the ENTIRE DAY drumming in the Wal-Mart parking lot to "drum up" some donations to help tornado victims in our area. They raised over $2500!!!

I should also mention that all the Carter teams won their first round games in the Big Dance. Florida, Texas, KinTUKee and Purdue all advanced. Unfortunately for Purdue, they advanced to face the number 1 seed in the Midwest region, perhaps the most dominant team in the country -- yep, the Florida Gators.

So, here's a little quiz for you (another trick I learned from Queep, although mine will undoubtedly not be as funny):

1. Of all the high schools in GMEA District 2 who sent two concert bands to festival this weekend, how many have only ONE full-time band director?

a. 1

b. 2

c. 3

d. zero

2. Which forward/center leads the overall top seed in the NCAA Tournament?

a.

b.

c. Both A and B

d. Both A and B, and by the way, Al Horford (B) can push the ball upcourt better than some point guards.

3. Fill in the blank: Why did Pete Crawford pick Villanova to beat his alma mater, UK? ______________________________________________ (might need a little more room than this....)

4. Who is currently in 13th place (out of 14) in the LC Band Bracket Challenge?

a. me (nope)

b. Tammy

c. Pete Crawford, huge bball fan from the UK "powerhouse"

d. a couple of high school clarinet players who thought they were picking their favorite colors

ANSWERS:

1. a. I'm the only one.

2. d

3. Uh, Pete, wanna help us out here? Villanova all the way?

4. c. Tammy is actually in second place right now.

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled blog involving Jacob. (He's still not feeling well, by the way.)
