What's That On Your Face?

[scanne]

Oh that? Just a scratch.

Oh from your cat?

No.

From your baby whose nails you haven't trimmed in a week and half?

No.

From what?

Um, I scratched my OWN face thank you very much - in a heated discussion with 4th graders over their places in a Christmas show.

Did you do it in front of the kids?

Yes.

Do you feel stupid?

Very.





Some days should come labeled with a warning sign.


BTW, it's a BIG scratch that bled on my cheek. The 4th graders didn't say ANYTHING. It hurt like heck and when I finally got my mirror out, I was a bit shocked that I drew that much blood and that the 4th graders DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING! I must have looked ridculous! Poor kids - maybe I just scared the heck out of them!!! (Or maybe they got confused and thought we should have been rehearsing a Halloween show instead of a Christmas show?)

Duh!

Well, that makes them very nice 4th graders.

Yes, that's true. Maybe they felt sorry for me??

I feel your pain - seriously!

Last year one of my tenor sax players grabbed his sax from the closet, turned around, and promptly dropped it.

Did I mention it hit me in the nose?

Oh, and I did I mention it was 15 minutes before our concert started?

It hit my glasses, which cut my nose. I also bit down really hard and chipped my two bottom front teeth (glad this was covered by workmans comp cause our dental insurance inhales). I also got two black eyes.

I'm really glad my kids knew their music really well because I was useless as a conductor.

Oh, my husband also says that I am the only person he knows who can get hurt at a band concert.

I hope your owie gets better soon!

 

[Sparx]

ouch! hope it feels better soon!

Oh, my husband also says that I am the only person he knows who can get hurt at a band concert.

oh. well now.... you're not the only one. You are probably talking to the only person who can jam their pinky fingers on the jazz keys of a clarinet. (its been awhile, and I forgot the technical term for them, you know the four little ones that you roll your pinky down on the side?)

Yeah, I always knew instrumental teachers had more dangers than vocal teachers - LOL! Who knew that the arts could do damage?

Last year our marching band had more injuries then the football team (4 people with broken bones from falling during practice).
