Band Nerd

Wow, tonight brought back some memories. You see, I am a band nerd, I wasn't just a "normal" band nerd, I was the "ultimate" band nerd. Fyi, I played the ever so cool Saxophone, in fact I was brought to tears when, for my 17th birthday I got a professional Yanigasawa Alto Sax, not a car, a sax, but I digress.... My ex husband was a band nerd, all 3 of my sisters were band nerds, my mom was a band nerd, my grandpa was a band nerd. So, as you can see, it runs in the family. Today, my oldest son, JC joined that ultimate, oh so sacred club of band nerds. Yes, he was in beginner band last year, but today, he had his first pep rally as an advanced saxophone player and football game!! Wow, I feel so old, my son was out there performing a halftime show! Well, not much of a show, just music, but still, the memories. My mom and I sat there and watched the band, it's amazing how year after year, generation after generation, school bands stay the same. There were the cooler girls who don't really play, they just dance(those were my sisters), the older ones who think they are the one in charge and the quiet ones that just watch and play. The game? Oh, his team lost but I didn't care, I wasn't there for the football......
