Morning!
And where will YOU be tomorrow?
I know where I’ll be - watching DCI The Countdown!
Now, if you’re the parent of a marching band kid (or, ahem, a marching band kid now grown up and a parent), you KNOW this is the movie event to rival Star Wars III! To wit:

this superbly brilliant article about your child’s college education and their job future. To wit:

Morning,

Morning!
