Being a Band Teacher

Well, I cannot tell you how much I love my job. It's the coolest thing in the world to me that I actually get to be a band teacher, and that I get to earn money for doing it!! I just love it. Last month my band took a trip to Boise because we were playing pep tunes for the State Basketball Tournament.


This is the High School Band. We went to the Old State Penitentiary and did a tour there. It was pretty cool!
This is my all time favorite picture!! At one of our games that we had to play at, none of my tuba players showed up. So, I had to save the day and play tuba with the pep band!! It was so much fun. The flute is my main instrument, so switching to the tuba was quite a difference! :)

Switching topics a little bit - I've been taking a cake decorating class. I can't say that I was very excited about it. The instructor could hardly speak two words of english, and it was a pain in the butt to try and make so much frosting!! But, I was able to make a couple of cakes. This was my first one:


Not bad right? I took it to the teachers lounge the next day, and it was gone within a couple of hours. Here's my second cake:

This one started to down the middle. Oh Well. But, the roses on the top were so hard to make, but they looked so pretty! Here's a close up of them:


I made this cake on my birthday, thus the reason it says Happy Birthday to me. I'm glad the cake class is over. It was a little too stressful to me. But, hey, at least I learned a few things.
