he gave us three dates to vote on. yea, that seemed like a fair solution. Right? NO.
March 12-16, March 26-30, and April 9-13.
do these dates seem familiar?
well they might, if you're planning on taking the SAT or ACT this spring. yes, our band director gave us the weekend when the act and sat are being offered. luckily, i hadn't registered for the act yet, so i can take that in june. but i had already registered for the sat, which is march 13. The middle date is part of our spring break, which many people have already blocked off for family vacations or the great starvation (passover) so here comes the question. is this fair?
--my answer. Sort of. the seniors who are graduating this year deserve a good trip as part of their band experience. if a junior has to miss the trip because of the sat or act, well i guess that's life. i care more about allowing the seniors to get their trip and us having an even better one next year than finding some horrible weekend to drive down to disney and play.
but...i voted and it has been counted. that's all that really matters. coaxing a plurality of people to one date.
i don't know if anyone reads this, i'm cool with whoever reads it. but..i would like your opinion.
next year i'll be a senior, which means college applications, recommendations, yada yada yada. you get my drift.
i have to turn in my registration card, and well i'm not sure if i am loading myself too much.
what do you think?
