For months, Andrew has commented on my role as "band mom". I have adamantly denied that statement. He has pointed out though, that I am the mom who was at band camp every day and I'm the one who fed the kids and arranged to have parents help with food. I am the one who collects all the money and handles all the fundraisers, as well as being in the schools to collect information. However, I maintain that there are many parents who do far more than I do with their chaperoning and pit crew during the season, not to mention the uniform parents and many others. However, I am the ones the kids know.
Last week at the concert, several students handed me their sweaters or jackets as they were walking to the stage, and one even handed me her flute case. Andrew of course was sitting next to me, and he began to chuckle. At that point, I kind of had to admit, I might be the band mom! Ultimately I don't mind because I really like the kids. At the same I am ready for the season to end and just be mom to my own kids!
