DS is traveling by bus to Virginia Beach this coming weekend with his HS marching band, jazz band, orchestra and chorus for a competition/fun every-other-year trip. He was supposed to sign up for a seat on the bus in the music director's office last week but their schedules didn't coincide, so he wasn't able to get there until yesterday. By the time he got there, all the seats on the band buses were taken, so he was left sitting alone on the chorus bus, where he didn't really know anyone. One of the guys he's sharing the hotel room with took his name off the band bus list and put it on the chorus bus list so DS would have someone to sit with.  I love the band kids. |

I am around teenagers all the time and honestly, I think they mostly get a bad rap. The ones I know are pretty cool kids who do way more good than bad.
The one that lives with me asked if I would be mad if he got a B in one of classes next grading period. The last one of his senior year. The kid that has made straight A's since he started middle school. Who is currently taking three AP classes (physics, calculus and psychology) and four honors classes. Who has an weighted GPA of 4.5 something. The kid that works every day after school. And the kid that has already been accepted into his first choice school. So yeah, I think he is entitled to a B.
And his friends? They are all just like him. Smart, motivated, respectful kids.

Teenagers get a bad reputation, even from me sometimes, but their are many who are good kids and deserve some kudos.

Band kids are so awesome! Yes...I am a retired band geek! I love to see positive stories about teenagers as it seems all of what we are shown on the news is corrupt and horrible teenagers. I know so many wonderful teenagers!
