Blogging???
Soo...I'm not so used to this blogging thing, but I imagine that it is something like a journal. I know it can be used as a resource for information too, but I'm not representing any large orgainzations or anything, so I'm gonna keep it as a place to share my thoughts and experiences. I work as a staff member of the Fighting Gator Marching Band - The Pride of the Sunshine. We are planning an 80s show for the homecoming game and the week to follow - against Kentucky and Georgia respectively. Within that show there is a medley, and within that medley is the song "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. I have been instructed to choreograph the dance for the vamp section. I LOVE to dance so this was very fun. I get the opportunity to teach it today so I have spent the last couple hours determining how I am going to present this to over 300 people all of which are not blessed with rhythm. But that is the great thing about being an educator, the challenge of communicating an idea so that everyone can understand, benefit, and demonstrate the information being distributed. We'll see how it goes. I will keep you all posted. Wish me luck!

Hello Docta Dre',
So you teach at Duval? Is that a full time or part time position? I HATE what is happening in our schools with this budget crises!!! It's always the arts and athletics that get cut first.
Sometimes I go to the library at Norman and see the band practicing. I am sooooooo jealous. That's a part of my life I missed out on....going to college and being in the Gator band. I was a clarinet player in high school, and had ambitions to be a band teacher. I got married, though, way too young at 18 years old. HOWEVER...I DO have my five beautiful children!
Check out my family pictures on my blog.
