I went in to school yesterday morning to get my weekend work done. While I was working, I got a text from Michele in honor of May 4th. I was so excited, because I got to reply with my favorite response. Yay!
Hehe…
After I got my schoolwork done, I headed out to see Iron Man 3. I’ve been looking forward to it. I got to the mall an hour before the movie started, so I had some lunch. After eating, I got in line for the movie, only to find out the tickets were sold out. D’oh!
There were some giant drums set up in the courtyard right outside the theater. A group of kids was playing them. It was mesmerizing. I stood and watched. Suddenly I noticed that one of the drummers was a student. Ha! The kids danced and twirled and tapped and boomed. It was amazing! I’m sorry I only caught the end of it. I’ll have to ask my student if her group will be playing again soon. I’d schedule my day around that.
She’s third from the right.
Awesome! About the drums, I mean. Not about missing Iron Man. I haven’t seen it either, so I fell that pain.
And now let me say have a lovely Cinco de Mayo!
I’m sad for your movie loss, but glad for your drum surprise!
We have a local high school steel band coming to play at our church May 19th. I am really looking forward to that.
…or, in keeping with your original text exchange, perhaps this is a holiday for using our brains – Thinko de Mayo!! 😉 Regardless, next time a video of the drummers would be good, too – remember, we all are living vicariously through your posts now…privacy laws and common courtesy notwithstanding…thank you.
