Going Back to Middle School

Middle School.  That's a weird term that my kids have used to describe sixth through eighth grade.  When I was growing up, it was "junior high".  Whatever the name, I think it's still the same experience ;-)

I've been accompanying the Slauson Middle School choir for the last year.  I love the gig.  The music is never very hard, I get out and have a life with someone other than the cats and dogs, Mr. Steck (the choir director) thinks I am God's gift to the piano, and I get paid in restaurant gift cards.  What's not to love?

Not wanting to set a bad example, I don't like to pull out my phone to take pictures of the experience.  But John has never remembered to take a picture of me at concerts (even when I was playing on my old high school stage).  So I snapped a quick one at rehearsal.  It's a really funny picture though because it looks like two boys are dancing.  Really, they were practicing moves for a funny Christmas song, and I couldn't help but chuckle at the awkwardness of all of those young teenagers.

I love this gig.
