Not a great week

Two ADVANCED kids quit today, and a third told me he was quitting. One of them really surprised me. It wouldn't bother me if he could just give me a reason. But nothing. The other two aren't surprising. Still a bit annoying, though since they never really tried it this year - rarely brought their instruments to school, almost never practiced. Oh well, at least they tried it last year.

Both my schools' jazz bands began this week. Successful at the first one, but at the other school most kids forgot to bring notes home, so they didn't have rides and could stay. Only having two clarinets & two drummers makes for a difficult (at best) rehearsal.

At least the week was a short one.
