Movie nights with the band kids...

Most high school student have been to the typical "movie night", late nights, lots of junk food, highly caffeinated beverages, good friends, and a pretty awesome movie. Movie nights at my house are the same only we add in the "band kid" effect. Believe it or not band kids really don't fit the American Pie "band kid" stereotype. What we can do is throw good movie nights. Not only do you have the camaraderie that comes with spending early mornings and long bus rides together during marching band season, but because the band consists of fairly artsy students, well let's just say we know how to pick movies. It's amazing that you can be comfortable while sitting on the floor in a small, over crowded room, but i'm here to tell you it is. The one thing that hinders our movie nights is my lack of movie selection, our first movie night we watched Night at the Museum it's a pretty good movie... for kids. But even in the wake of a less than perfect movie the "band kid" effect prevails. We were still able to have a great time and start planning the next one before we had even left the first. Now a couple of movie nights later my collection has grown with the help of christmas and half price books. At the last movie night we watched Watchmen. Watchmen was really good, gory, but good. Along with the improvement in the quality of the movie we also enjoyed bashing and praising the snuggie, as much as i hate to admit that we have not only one, but three laying around our house they are outrageously cofortable and warm. So with Watchman in the blueray player and our snuggies on we enjoyed another awesome movie night. Can't wait for the next one.
