Since school started

I didn't get to be drum major as I said before. The reason is is because Mr. Stewart, who was our band director, got a new job at another school during the summer, and the new band directors decided not to use us. We still learned things, but we didn't get to really be it. In fact, I think we only did 1 home game this season because it rained LIKE EVERY TIME there was a home game, and all games would be cancelled. The one night there was a game, it was cold!!

Deer season started, and my dad decided to buy a new 4-wheeler. It's pretty awsome...

and a pretty awesome ride!

My Mom took this picture of me a few weeks ago by our lake. I thought it look good.

I did the pumpkin on the right. I had to use super glue to hold some of it together. My mom did the same with the other one. She was helping Jacob with his. I went to the church Halloween Party as Dorothy. It was a fun time.

I went to an AWESOME church dance over in Mt. Pleasant, Tx. That area is part of the Gilmer, Tx Stake, but we found out about their youth dance in Mt. Pleasant. My mom took me there. It was so much fun. Met a few cute boys. I hope to go again soon.

My brother, Josh

This is me and my 3 sisters & big brother, Josh, just before he

left to go on his mission in August.

He is serving in the Idaho Pocatello Mission. He is a good example!
I do miss him a lot!

Drum Major Camp

I went to this camp to help me become a better drum major and I did and it was so fun. Mr. Moss is from Cameron,Tx and came all the way up to teach a class for a whole week to be drum majors. I told him I was from Bryan, and he said "That was cool and why a girl from Bryan is now living in Ashdown Arkansas?" I said "My dad wanted to live by his mom and dad, and we needed a new house, because we have 7 kids." So that whole week was fun.

Drum Major

Well I mad drum major at my school for next year.

Band Rocks!

In January we got a new band teacher because our last one sucked. Before we had gotten our new teacher we sucked, because she would never do anything with us. She would never teach us anything new. We only did eazy songs and never hard ones. Now we have a new band teacher, Mr. Stewart. He is from around here and plays the french horn and in percution. Before he came we were playing music that was like a 1-3. Now since he has been here we have gone from a 3 to a 10. Our concert was on Sunday April 26, and we had a standing ovation, and the AJHS Band had never had one at all! The songs we played were: Crusade, Canon Of Peace, Command March, Flight of The Thunderbird, Break Thoe the Bread of Life. Now we are learning to play: A Childhood Hymn and Lament and Tribal Dances. He is the best band teacher AJHS has ever had! I hope he stays a long time!
