Band director. Father of three. Love traveling, food, sports, and music.
A senior at last night’s concert - “Mr. Woodson.. thank you for convincing me not to quit after my freshman year. It’s been the best four years of my life, and I owe you a ton!” Nah, kid. It’s me who owes you. You showed up. You worked your butt off. You were a role model. Now go be great!

Normalize thanking your students and owning up to mistakes you make to them. Didn’t have a great rehearsal day before yesterday. Kids lacked focus, but it was because of how the beginning of it started. Yesterday was great because I addressed it, but owned up to what I should have done better.

I just saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was one of the most performances of anything I’ve ever seen in my life!

As music educators, we must get off our high horses and show appreciation, thanks, and gratitude to our students. Tell them that you’re thankful for them, because without them, you’d be nothing!

Went to my nephew’s birthday party in Waxahachie today. Anytime I’m there I stop at HEB. If only we could have one in Tyler or Longview!! Fresh by Brookshire’s doesn’t remotely come close the awesomeness that is HEB.

And here I went thinking that BO6 wouldn’t have a battle pass. Ugh! I think it actually takes away from the game because it induces FOMO instead of replaying it because it’s fun and social.

As all of us newbies are still trying to navigate Bluesky’s algorithms, what’s your feed currently filled with (whether purposefully or by chance)?

Me: wolves (school mascot is the Lobo), cats (we have some), sports, and books other folks are reading.

I’m not cool enough anymore for things like Twitter or Bluesky.. but I do have thoughts and opinions. No clue how I’ll use this platform other than following the news and sports.

Lobo Stadium is going to be rocking!!
Longview opens the 2024 6A Division II playoffs tomorrow night at Lobo Stadium as the Garland Naaman Forest Rangers come to town for their first ever trip to Lobo Stadium.

Lobos looking to improve to 19-2 all-time in Bi-District contests under head coach John King.
