Girls Scouts or Music Production Class?

This venture that we're on with the Hip Hop: Art, Science and Business course never ceases to amaze me. New and wonderful things unfold on an almost daily basis. Most recently, we have come up against a little bit of friendly competition with the Girl Scouts. A local Girl Scout Troop that meets at the same time as - and in the same building with - our music production class has complained to YFCR (our parent nonprofit organization) about the popularity of our course over and above that of the Girl Scouts.

You see, on several occasions when the Girl Scout leaders would come and retrieve some of their girls from our class the girls would reluctantly get up and go to the Girl Scouts meeting. One day when the scout leaders came in to round up the girls from our class, Tommy Daniel (our Hip Hop expert instructor) said to the girls, "okay, you can go to Girl Scouts now". Two of the older girls said, "can?". Tommy repeated, "you can go to Girls Scouts now". "CAN go to Girl Scouts?" the girls retorted. Perplexed, Tommy said, "yes, you may go to Girl Scouts now?" "We MAY go?", the girls asked while giggling. I then interjected, "Mr. D (Tommy) I think the girls might want to stay in our class right now."

To make a long story short, the Girl Scout leaders requested that we change our meeting dates. We now meet on Wednesdays and Fridays (instead of Tuesdays and Thursdays).

I am humbled by all of this, in a profound way.

Stay in Tune,
