More fun in the Band Room today. I didn't actually paint anything, but I still managed to kill a few brains cells breathing in what everyone else was painting. I swept and gathered up random belongings, and took LOTS of pictures. We're making progress.
We had lots of help painting today. First of all we had two band parents/professional painters who gave us a tremendous head start by doing all three coats of the top green stripe and one coat of the bottom green stripe the night before. They probably would've finished all of the green, but they ran out of paint. They have been soooooo wonderful!
Today, armed with more paint, parents and students alike picked up rollers and brushes and knocked out another chunk of this huge job in short order. They did the white stripe in the middle, finished the bottom green coats, and tackled both the entrance and the exit. Tomorrow, we will let the white and black dry.
Monday, our two pros will come back in and put a 6 inch black stripe between the white and the black while we try to put everything back in some order before the kids come back on Tuesday.
The kids will be surprised about the new walls, and probably a little confused about the fact that we moved everything. It will definitely take them a while to find their instruments, textbooks, and random clothing. The textbooks and random clothing I don't feel bad about. Isn't that what lockers and closets are for? But, all those instrument cases do look alike. Oh well, hopefully they will get over it.

After a lot of sweeping, vacuuming and paintingI wish I had taken all of these pics from the same angle. But, I didn't think of it at the time. Oh well, to get an idea of the perspective look at the air conditioner vent (the black hole near the ceiling).
