so many words. i looked at prices for percusion equiptment for my special teams for the band the important people. they were pretty good.

did you know that april was national community college month? i want to know who names these weird months so i tried to find out.

here is what i found: Throughout America, the month of April is proclaimed community college month. Traditionally, this month has become a time to reflect on the philosophy and history of the community colleges and a time to look into the future for these "uniquely American" institutions of higher education. As we celebrate community college month, we are reminded of our heritage and the futuristic vision of the early leaders of the community college. It was through their vision and hard work that the development and growth of the community college occurred. Today, the community college is a major segment of higher education serving millions of people with quality programs and services.
