(I exaggerate slightly.) I find the coincidence humorous. :) You can check out our show by searching "Reagan Band Have You Got In It You?" on YouTube. I promise it's way cooler than you'd expect marching band to be. (although the sound on the recording is a little wonky, and this year's show[RE-] was way cooler, but that is neither here nor there.) <br />I apologize for this shameless promotion; being a confirmed band geek, I think everything about our band is awesome and feel the compulsion to tell anyone about it whenever the opportunity arises.

But getting a firm grip on the big picture before I start hopefully helps me to keep wasted words to a minimum.<br /><br />My teachers would laugh if they could hear these compliments to my handwriting.
