Okay, you can sing it as you read this entry sis. Just returned from the 5th grade orchestra/band concert at which they played over THIRTY short variations of songs we all know and love to hate. I could have left after the orchestral performances of said variations, but like the extreme martyrs we all become as parents of grade schoolers, I couldn't bring myself to walk out on band kids. So, 90 minutes later and trying to pull ourselves out of the crowded seating (my legs were even cramped and I've got an inseam of about 22!) we congratulated all our children on a great performance and boosted their self esteem enough to get them to stick with it until spring. So yes, all the parents in attendance tonight earned a star in their crown and they won't have to wonder, "will there be any stars, any stars in my crown?"

Yeay you! I have to escort a kid to 6th grade band once a week and there is a special place in heaven for elementary band directors. And I'm sure parents. Having recently witnessed one of their concerts I am hesitant to ask my parents if my band was that bad. Now that I'm an adult they are willing to be truthful.
Yep, the band directors of any school, any age, get a free pass to the pearly gates with a star-studded crown and matching shoes too!
Yep, I'm singing
