"I Promise"

I think that's the name of the Band field show this year, but I am referring to the promise that will not inundate my blog readers with numerous blogs about Band. Yes, I have kept my famous "All Band, All the Time" quote, but am attempting to keep my Mexico promise to have a life. ( I definitely hear my band-parent friends snickering...and there is always Arlene's eye-rolling to deal with..more on that later).

Any way...today a few of us gathered together to attempt to create a prototype of the field show prop for this year. Arlene the Artist (and eye-roller) is the brains behind this endeavor. She located some material from a friend in the "business", therefore saving us a bundle while we tested out the concept. It is a pyramid that will eventually have one of the words from John Wooden's Pyramid of Success on it. There are many stipulations to this prop...it must have quick entry for a student, as they will be inside it and moving around the field. It must be light, and yet not light enough to take off like a kite if the wind is strong. You must not be able to see in, but they must be able to see out. Etc. etc. You see the idea, right? Arlene is very disappointed in the finished product, but she is picky. I kinda liked it. And this little video is my interpretive moment of how it will work on the field. Enjoy!
