evila_elfWell. I went to graduation and it was decent. No major screw-ups. My friend, who was graduating and had to give a speach, was very funny and entertaining. But I will blab more on that at some later point if I am in the mood.
I got a shock at Graduation. Mr. Schwartz, the band director, is now going to be teaching at Yelm because it is much closer to where he lives (He had to commute over an hour to school).
*deep breath*
This felt like a punch to the gut. I've known him for over 12 years. Hell, he is one of the main reasons why I love band so much and why I continued to play at the games and at graduation for 5 years after I graduated.
I went over to talk to him after graduation was all over with. He thanked me for all the years I've helped out (shit, I have had better pep game attendence than the students do). I almost bit a hole through my lip trying not to lose it in front of him.
He told me that he might show up for next years graduation since he knows most of the kinds. I bet he won't, but I am going to show up in the off chance that he will.
Been sobbing on and off for the past 7 hours and came close to throwing up twice. Shit, just typing this...
Don't know if I will play at any games next year...it just won't be the same. I do want to check out his replacement and introduce myself as the crazy band student who wont go away.
I was digging through my photo album and came across a picture I took of Mr. Schwartz. He hated pictures, so this is the only one besides yearbook pictures that I have. I might try to scan one of them sometime.

My newest fear: The replacement teacher will freak out and there will be no more pep band (It takes quite a bit to set things up.)
