It's Friday...

Another hectic week here. I don't know that people realize how busy it can get in a school music dealer like Progressive.

Yes, it's mid-February, so marching band season is over so that end of things have slowed down. But remember, it's musical season - so everyone needs things - now - for their productions. Schools are beginning to get their budgets ready for the next school year. And with that comes assistance from places like Progressive to explore new products as well as prices for those products. So, those phone calls keep all of us (especially Lorry) pretty busy.

I did have a chance to put in some time on a new project on instrument leasing for schools in need of new equipment. More work to be done there though.

There's always a project - always a new "crisis" - if you will - everyday. That's one of the things that keeps it fun.

Beyond that, it's great to visit schools and talk to teachers and hear of their passion for their profession. They really believe in the power of music education and what it can do for their students. That genuine interest is vital to keeping music programs alive. S0 - always support your local school music program.

Anyway - my birthday was earlier this week - got a bit lost in the shuffle of other things going on in everyday life. BUT - I do get to spend the night with some WONDERFUL friends tomorrow night which I cannot wait for!!!!!
