So the AGHS Band just got a letter stating that our band director is leaving the premises of our high school and embarking on a new journey with a different set of students at DHC High school. I don't really know how I feel about it. I think that it might be good for him. He is more experienced in music ed now and the DHC band is okay (not as good as us). I am sure he will be alright. It is pretty sad because right now...AG does not have a director for next year. HOPEFULLY they will locate one soon. I would take it over...but I have four more years to go. I don't blame Bingo for leaving. They were trying to put too much on him. There is only so much a guy can do. I am grateful for the amount of time that I had to spend with him...and the many things that I learned. He was probably a greater friend to me than he was a teacher. We are both going our separate ways, and that is going to be a big change on the AGHS band. I really don't know what is going to happen. With Bingo...I was there both before and after...and now that he is leaving...all of the kids who are still in band are going to have a really hard time adapting to the new person. The separation is not between Band and Bingo...it is really between Bingo and I. Perhaps it is better that way. I really don't know. Hopefully the future brings great things for the students and the band program at AGHS. I want to see us succeed...and I want to see us happy...we can do it if we work together.
Bingo and Bob both had bands. Bingo thought Bob's band was not a bit better because of the baby booming bass boppers, but Bob boasted that Bob's band beat both bassoon breathers by blowing bold bass breaths between the baritones. Bingo and Bob both had better bands because Bingo had blackish brown Bassoons and Bob had big brass Baritones and both Bob and Bingo and Bingo and Bob were brothers because of their big brass bands.
