Tonight was senior night for our high school band. It was two fold for me. It was the first senior night I've attended this year and started to hit me that Thing 1 is graduating. :(Secondly, they invited the 8th graders to play with the high school band and Thing 2 was able to hang out with them and play. He was very excited.

Anywhoo...during the regular season the band performs their show at half time then before they march back to the school the play "Amazing Grace" while still in the stands. Since tonight was senior night they performed their show after the game and played "Amazing Grace" while still on the field. I had never seen them perform the Amazing Grace and was actually tearing up, so I thought I'd share it with you as well.

Nice video Toro. Now I know how you drive!

For some reason I always enjoy watching the driving videos that others have been posting here, lol.

Thank you, actually I was driving a little less...... "spirited" than normal.

I need to either find a working idle control (its close to 400 bucks for a new one since my car is so old) or figure out the vacuum leak so it will purr like a kitten again instead of sounding so rough (as in the video)

It's because they are confident that you are their owner. I was walking my dog once with my bike, and we saw a puppy. So my dog peed on my bike to claim me as her owner and to keep the puppy away. I think it must have been a moment of insecurity. :p I was so glad I brought my bike.

Well then, doggies must like me since they keep peeing on me if I stand still.

Interesting video, Toro. You remind me of my one friend Matt. He's crazy too

When everyone makes driving videos, the land looks so flat to me. I'm surrounded by hills and mountains... and I like it that way!

 I am a uniquely different crazy.....

 None are like the Toro and Toro is unlike all others. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

This side of Texas, IS flat.

After all, I live closer to the bayous of Louisiana than I do the deserts and hills of west / central Texas.

Thanks for sharing.
What instruments do they play in band?

Thing 1 doesn't play but Thing 2 plays trumpet. I was only at the senior night because the 8th graders got to play with the high school band. It's kind of their introduction to the high school band and help them decide if they want to join or not. I haven't talked to Thing 2 since then (he's camping with friends) so I'm excited to hear how his night went.

someone expressed interest, and i just made a video for it. so here it is.

hopefully, my next video will be "an ode to CF: a love song for friendlies" i need to acquire another video camera first though.

No one quote this please - because I'll maybe delete. I just filmed two videos. I don't talk in them but you can see the car I drive and a kitty cat here. ^_^

Very nice, Dandy. What's the kitty's name?

I do hope we'll get to see you someday.

Someone remind me to do a singing video soon.

Thanks for posting the videos Dandy. I like um.

Nice videos Dandy! That kitty sure is very cute, and you have a nice vehicle! Also, I like those trees, are they a type of palm tree?

Thank you. I love that kitty. The trees I zoomed in on are palm trees.. I just zoomed in to show off "autumn" in Southern California. ^_^ We have deciduous trees and evergreen trees. ^_^

SE Texas is flat, you just don't notice it because of the trees. I'm in the northwestern edge of the hilly parts, go about an hour and a half northwest, and it's flat.

Oh, I notice it. Thats what I was saying.

Central/West it's not the Himalayas, but.... its A LOT more scenic than these parts.

Any natural elevation here is down.

Even our "mass transit" train is flat.... not above ground or below ground.... like other cities... NO, we build at road level. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

You're welcome :DI don't speak because when I wanted to be able to walk on land I traded my tongue to the sea witch. The Prince married someone else though and I learned my lesson. But alas I have no tongue. Oh. Wait...

Also sorry that video was probably too revealing.

I'll wear gloves and socks next time...

Well that is his loss. I saw Tom Hanks date a mermaid once...... true story. It made a Splash.

If you too are amazed by forks....... have I got a weekend of excitement planned for you. I will, yes, that's right. Allow you to wash ALL of my dishes.

Tom Hanks is too old for me. Also his eldest son is too old for me as well. I wonder if I'm related to them.

Also I hate doing dishes, that's the worst thing in the world. Also if I touch water I will die. Don't you know my story?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

If I touch water I will turn into foam like what happens to all the other dead mermaids. (That is what sea foam is - dead mermaids.)

 You know how long ago I watched the littler mermaid.

You're lucky I remember she had a fascination with forks.  

I agree though, Id rather throw dishes away than wash them.

That might be why she had such a hard time getting the prince to kiss her, she never showered.....  


Here I thought sea foam was whale vomit. You learn something new every day.

I made ya'll a Thanksgiving driving video :)It was snowing really hard...harder than it shows on the video.  It's kinda loud so watch your speakers.

Is that what snow looks like? I hope you had both hands on the wheel.

Yes ma'am. That was snow. Most of it has melted already haha. And I may or may not have had both hands on the wheel. I don't remember   

  Snow is a myth..... let it go people. You will not convince me. (Nice video though Saucy)
