Many moons ago, in HS , they tried to get us in band to parade march a tune that went from 4/4 (extremely common time signature), to 7/8
eek:) back to 4/4.So a 6/8 is kinda common in music, kinda waltz-ish. (ONE two three FOUR five six) 7/8 is cray-cray for marching. It would be ONE two three ONE two ONE two with each "ONE" being a step. It wasn't marching that count that was hard, it was the transition between "regular" marching to off-beat marching back to regular marching. I know the band was able to pull this off a few years before my membership, but us knuckleheads couldn't do it.
Oooo!!! My brain was able to pull out the name of the song, and I found it on YT. We were wanting to play an abridged version of this. 3:22 is where it goes to 7/8 in what was our arrangement, and then 3:50 it goes back to 4/4. (If y'all are interested)
I don’t remember much about band except the best trombone player was smoking hot.

Our choir used to process to the opening hymn on Sundays. We could always tell when a non musical person chose the opening hymn when we ended up waltzing or marching up the center aisle.
Nothing is better than having your kid tell you at 10 pm on a Sunday evening - after you have been on an hour long run and are getting ready for bed - that they have a bunch of physics homework that they don't understand and they need your help. I spent the next two and a half hours relearning physics I learned (and forgot) 30+ years ago and teaching my kid through her homework.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING ALL BLEEPING WEEKEND!
The oldest knows she needs to catch me before 9pm or I will be in bed. But she would never ask me for physics help. That falls under hubby’s wheelhouse. I do all paper/writing editing help. He covers math and science.
Welcome to that club except my one job I get to deduct all my expenses and then see what I have left on my one job.
If my daughter hadn't left for school on Saturday and I had read this post earlier, I may have been able to give you some insight but I guess I'm no help at this point.
You need to confrim he isn't dead or in a coma in the hospital first. Before I get annoyed at no replies or no shows I like to confirm they ain't dead. I'd feel bad later if I got all pissed and than found out they got killed in an accident driving to see me. One of Boxster's Rules. I don't have as many rules as Columbus in Zombieland but I got rules (although they aren't numbered).

I ******* hate Iowa and their ugly ****** colors and their ugly ****** logo and their ugly ****** mascot and their asshat players and fans
I miss Nye's, Ruth Adams and the World's Most Dangerous Polka Band. My favorite Twin Cities bar.
Oh dear...When I looked, Wisky had a double digit lead with about 6 minutes left. I guess Iowa pulled it out of their asses again...
