I've been filling in for a friend who is an elementary school band director for the past month. Now that I know the kids better it's actually a pretty good time (most of the time). Today cracked me up. One of my favorite classes is a group of 8 5th grade boys and one girl playing a variety of instruments. They're always joking about something. One of the kids asked me how I could play trumpet and still listen and correct them so I told him that I've played for over 30 years so it's really not that hard to do anymore. The trumpet player then asks how I could tell the difference between his part and mine and one of the other guys says "Because your part $ucks". Everybody (including my young trumpet playing friend) lost it. Not sure how this comes across in print but it was really good natured. My band director friend will be back soon. I think I'm going to miss some of these guys.
