I played percussion in the band from 6th grade on into my freshman year of college. I LOVED it!!!!! I even made All-State band my senior year. Surprised?! Now, I was not a drum set kind of gal, but rather a marimba-loving, tympani-playing, snare-banging kind of girl. Oh, and I may have played a little slapstick and triangle along the way too! (Mr. and Mrs. Monroe if you are reading this, we still have the video of me in front of the region band playing the slapstick!) Love me some marching band!!!!! I love anything with a good beat, and let me just say, this rendition of the song is awesome for those of us who love a drum corps! I have to tell you, when the little drummer boy comes in on this song, it takes me back to drum camp at SFA! Yep, good ole' Nacogdoches! (One time, I went to band camp...what movie? Okay, moving on!) Anyway, we listened to this CD in the car for the first time this season, and Benjamin (my very own little drummer boy) and I "broke it down!!!!" Here is the song, enjoy!!!!!!!!
On a completely different and totally random note, the kids and I went to Lakeshore Learning today. I really can do damage in that place. Here are a few things we bought for some free time activities.
This is a super fun magnetic mosaic picture maker. It's kind of like color by number but you do it with magnetic tiles. Grace and Ben play with this every time we go into the store. (Here's hoping we can keep up with the pieces.)
Who doesn't like some floam? I can just hardly resist this stuff!
Okay, and these are SUPER cool. Plastic, wavy sticks to build with. Kind of like Lincoln logs but cooler!
Go to www.lakeshorelearning.com if you want to check out all of their fun stuff! (Probably 99% of people reading this, are already FULLY aware of Lakeshore, but I think I am supposed to give them a proper "shout out" when I post their product on my page. Here's hoping someone from the company sees this and wants to give me free stuff! Ha! Ha!)
