What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

 Photography is cool. I do take photos when I see something I like or when I'm on vacation. So I guess you could say I'm interested it but I don't usually edit my photos. I don't know a ton about it but it does interest me. I enjoy taking pictures of places and cool buildings.

Blog Post of the Day:
Tell me about your weekend. Share pics!

Well on Friday I left at 8:00 with the band to go to St. Louis for the Bands of America Super Regional. We stooped at the Columbia Mall for lunch and hung out there for about an hour then got back on the road. When we go to St. Louis we went to our hotel and checked in and got settled in. Our hotel was right next to Busch Stadium, where the St. Louis Cardinals play. Sadly, they were no longer in the playoffs so we didn't get to see them. We hung out at the hotel for about an hour or two. We left the hotel around 5:00 and went to the Edward Jones Dome to perform our preliminary performance run of our show. It was out best show we have ever had at BOA St. Louis. Once that was done we went back to our hotel and had pizza and played games and stuff until it was time to go to bed. On Saturday, we all checked out of our hotel, loaded the buses, and went to this place called Adrenaline Zone. Its pretty much like Power Play, just not as many games. It was still fun though. We played laser tag and whirly ball for two hours there and just chilled there. It was fun. We left to go back to the Edwards Jones Dome to hear preliminary awards. Sadly, we did not make finals like we were hoping to.We did place 25th out of 64 thought, which was good.We left the dome and walked to the Arch and had dinner on the river's edge under it. When that was over we walked back to the dome to watch the finals performances. There were some extremely good bands. We watched all the finals performances but left before the awards. We got back Sunday morning at about 3:30. On  Sunday I watched football and did homework.

Below is a letter written to the editor who wrote the article 'Enforcement of dress code creates negative effect' that your blogged about last week. Most of you wrote on your blog that you agreed with the writer. What are your thoughts after reading the letter below and seeing a different perspective. Are they the same? Are the different? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

There are points in this letter as well. There is a certain time and place for certain attire. And yes, teachers aren't out to get you or upset you. There are many points in both this letter and the article. I won't say either one is wrong or right. I agree with stuff in both articles. I disagree with stuff in both articles. Both students, teachers, and the dress code need to respected during school. That's all there is to it.

The perfect curriculum for me would any science class, social studies classes and anything class that has to do with band. So, basically those class would be marching band, jazz band, anatomy, biology, chemistry, world history, and U.S history. These are classes I actually like so I would try to do good in them so I would study for tests and pay attention most of the time in class. Gotta have those mental breaks still. A few of these classes would be the same. Jazz band, marching band, anatomy, and world history are classes I am taking now. But the other ones are ones I have already taken or will be taking in the next two years.

The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.

 

I do agree with this article. Girls should be able to dress how they. Take for example, spirit days. We had toga day this year and a ton of guys came in with a bed sheet on. No undershirt. They were showing off their shoulders. Does that mean girls were turned on by that? No, it doesn't. I mean sure guys like it when girls show their shoulders and stuff. We're guys, that's what we do. We should be able to control ourselves around girls that are not covering up their shoulders or their thighs. Guys do need to practice self control around girls, because, honestly, we don't have any. We just do whatever the heck we want. Because we are guys and we don't think. We just want to impress the girls. As long as the girls aren't showing anything bad, then they should be allowed to wear whatever they want. The guys dress how they want. Now let the girls dress how they want.

Tell me about your weekend! If you don't have anything fun to share, tell me about the city you live in. What do you love about Kansas City? Do you have a favorite place in the city? Favorite team? :) Favorite event? Explain

This weekend I traveled with the marching band to Blue Springs High School for our first marching competition. In preliminary performance we placed first in the 5A class sweeping every award. Oh and BV West got second. To us. We made it to finals and placed 3rd overall out of 12 bands that made it to finals. We beat West again, this time by two places.
