Stress reliever

So I was a little stressed out today, not for any huge reason, my life is not stressful. Even though I wasn't looking forward to it, tonight was Prism. I love the Marching Chiefs, to me they're the reason to go to the games. LIke a good burger; the burger is there to compliment the condiments, not the other way around...not that I don't enjoy good football every now and then, but not as much as watching the band work magic. Well this is a concert with the chiefs and concert band (I have no idea if I'm explaining this right). Anyway the wind and percussion groups put together different musical pieces. It's wonderful. The stress melted right off of me. I love love love music and really who doesn't? People have different preferences, but all respond to music. It is one of my very favorite gifts from God.

The Ruby Diamond is being renovated which is where the Prism concert is usually held. So this year and next it's relocated to Godby High School, wherein I was able to get close up seats due to the fact that maybe not as many people were intrigued with the idea and it was general seating. I was able to watch the conductors. This job has always intrigued me. I was in elementary and "middle school" (we didn't have a middle school, but it was middle school grades in a high school) bands and played clarinet so I know a tidbit about music. I just really don't get that the person waving their arms around is really leading all the peeps. I love to watch it though and they seem so very passionate about what it is they're doing, especially a couple of them tonight. The same could not be said for some of the students playing. The looks on some of their faces would have made you think they didn't sign up for this, but were drafted at gun point. Ah kids :)! It was fun as always though. A guy in our ward produces the show and kudos to him (although whenever I ask him what he does he always says ah nothing, so I've decided he's the guy who turns the lights on in the right spots at the right times thus producing the prism:) )!!! Thanks Matt for the tickets, it was great! Go Chiefs! and concert band and the noles will be back eventually...right?
