One of my good friends taught Spanish for almost 40 years and had a pony tail the entire time. My wife puts her hair back in a pony tail about half the time (teaches English and Drama). My ponytail did not survive college. Soon as I was student teaching, I determined that the amount of time it took to deal with long hair was not conducive to the high school band director lifestyle. A few years after that, it became impossible to even attempt to replicate any hair 'style.'

Here's a shot from the last time any of my hair was less than half an inch. 2013 at the Tower of Terror 10 miler weekend.

And, I grew it out for something very special...

Nice, and you teach band. Well I am not in band I am in the choir or should I say I chose to be in the choir as one of my electives. I am not one of the most fantastic singers in the world, but I get by and it gets me a credit.

Yup. 27 years high school band director. During some rough years at the school I was at prior to my current position, I also taught chorus for 3 years... I was not one of the most fantastic chorus teachers in the world, but if I hadn't agreed to do it, they would have cut the entire program.

It sounds like you are a fantastic and dedicated teacher. I have some of those and well also some crappy ones as well. I don't mind the chorus class and even the programs. My main thing is Cheerleading and I do that for Football in the Fall and Basketball in the Winter. My Freshman year I was also in the Musical in the Spring and this year I was going to try out again but it was cancelled. So I stay busy and I like the social stuff at school like the dances and stuff like that.

I lived in Scotland for a year in my youth (1982) and recall vividly going to a friends house and being a little alarmed when his mother brought out dinner for us. Beans on Baps. For all my fellow Americans, that's baked beans on dinner rolls. As the main course for a dinner (actually, I'm pretty sure it was the only thing for the entire dinner - except I'm pretty sure we had some trifle for dessert).
