Chamber of Commerce Meeting

Recently I was required to attend one of Cookeville's Chamber of Commerce meetings for cheerleading and let's just say it was very interesting. I never really knew before what types of things go on at these types of meeting and i know now that I really wasn't missing much. The whole thing basically consisted of them announcing the new and existing members and pretty much just needless formalities. The only really interesting part to me was when the Tech football coach went up to the podium and basically told everyone that the team is not going to be any good for about another two or three years since there are only like 8 seniors on the team, and half of the team are freshman. I don't know why i thought that it was so funny, but I suppose i really just didn't mind because I am a freshman myself and so I guess I am okay with the fact that the team is apparently going to be really good my senior year. So overall even though the meeting was extremely boring, I suppose I learned a few things anyways, and it did offer a little practice in front of a crowd for cheerleading.

Rodney Atkins Concert

So I had to got to the Rodney Atkins concert last thursday for cheer and I was actually pleasantly surprised with how good it was. I mean I am a country music fan, but Rodney Atkins has just never been one of my favorites. But he turned out to be a really funny person. I remember at one point he started talking about his first gig which was actually really close to Tech, and he told the audience that he was going to play us the song that got him his first gig while he was singing karaoke. So he starts playing his guitar and the next thing i know he is singing the that apple bottom jeans song to a country tune which was really unexpected and funny. So overall I'd have to say that the concert was really good and i was really sad when it was over, though that was mostly because i had to go help tear down and pack back up the entire stage! It was ridiculously terrible, even with the entire cheer and dance program we didn't get to leave until 2:30 that night! It was very tiring, but hey, at least its one more thing to add to my list of obscure things that I have done.
