Mission Impossible Goes Back In Time
I dreamed I was driving up to my old high school. I saw my friend Fred's 55 Chevy in the parking lot near the band hall. It was dark black, sleeker and mean looking. As I walked towards the band hall entrance, Dave Metzener and Bryan Files (co-workers) walked up. Someone in the background said, "It's the Mission Impossible Team. Do you think you can do the job?" I knew that we would try.
One thing as we approached became very obvious to me. We had travelled back in time to when I was in school. I wondered if I would meet myself. Alas, it seemed we had gone back before I got into high school. We entered the band hall. It was chaos. A wild party with noise every was going on.
In the center of it all was my junior high band director. He was wearing a suit and looking important and in charge. Where was Alsbrooks, my first year high school director? I knew he ran the band even before I joined high school band. This was what was wrong. Somehow my junior high school band director (Mr. Hopkins) had taken over and was ruling over all. How would we stop him?
Alas, solving this caper was not to be because I became infatuated with trying to identify the girls in the band. I went from girl to girl looking them over, trying to find someone I recognized. I didn't know if I was looking for anyone in particular, but I kept looking. The world began to spin out of control and the dream was lost.
