Best Class Ever

If you are in the band and in 8th period, you know that you unfortunately missed English class today.  Don't worry though, because I figured I'd be nice enough to let you know what transpired.  But I have to tell you, what you missed was probably what turned out to be the best 50 minutes of our lives.  Okay, so we walk in the class room, only half the lights are on as usual, and we sit down in our seats only to realize that not a single group is complete.  There's at most twelve of us in the class.  So we all consolidated to one half of the room, got out our books and notebook paper, and started taking notes on the most important events in the section of reading we were assigned.  When all of a sudden, the lights go dim.  The blinds swiftly close.  The whole room is dark as night.  No one knows what's going on.  You should have seen the look on Hurtuk's face...  pure terror.  But before you would have known it, a ceiling panel slides away, and out drops from the ceiling, of all things... a disco ball.

Yeah that's right.  And you know those Windows commercials where the guy is like "to the cloud" and then the ground does a 360 and magically appears a sweet new computer?  Same thing happens to Ms. Serensky's desk, only what appears are what must be some of Mr. Maas' turn tables.  And then guess who comes in the room?  That's right, Mix Master Maas himself, ready to drop some phat beats on the class.  I'd never been more excited to hear Ms. Serensky say "pens down" before, because I knew we were about to party.  And party is what we did.  We all got up from our seats and danced like it was the last night of our lives... or at least the second to last day before winter break.  I had no idea John had so many moves, or that Henry could teach us all how to "Dougie."  At one point Donley even got up on top of one of the desks and almost took his shirt off!  But we quickly got that under control.

Everyone was having a blast, and then Ms. Serensky stole the show.  With her bad back and everything, she got out there and started to break dance.  Unbelievable is an understatement for her incredible dancing talent.  I wish we taped it and put it on YouTube: "English Teacher Break Dances in the Middle of Class!!!!"  As the party started to wind down and the bell rang, we knew that this was a class period that we would never forget.  So I guess it's too bad you band kids couldn't make it... bummer...
