Time to get back to computing. Monday was a busy day with my Junior Band participating in a band festival. They got Gold! My goodness, what a surprise but also validation that I do know what I am doing. I left teaching with a bad feeling because I worked with an administrator who questioned my abilities. I felt that I knew what I was doing and certainly what has happened at my former school seems to validate that fact. Sadly, the programme is now a shadow of what it once was. I must look ahead to where I am now and ignore what has happened. Do not want to describe what the previous teacher did. It is too sad. There is a new teacher who I am helping but she certainly does not know a great deal about teaching band. Oh well, things change and I must remember to move on. However, I am still very pleased about the gold. What a wonderful performance on the part of the students.
Today, I had a more relaxing day. Took students to a rehearsal of the Toronto Symphony. They rehearsed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Fidelio Overture and a finale modern work which featured percussion. Good fun and interesting for the students.
Time to head out for orchestra rehearsal.
