Busted

Last night, I took Big I to see Yamato, the drummers of Japan. I went two years ago and it was awesome. Last night was no different. Big I was mesmerized by the show. She absolutely loved it, and it was nice to do something with her.

After the show, I took a look around the auditorium to see if any of my students were present. The University where I teach offered free tickets to the students and a free bus ride to the show. I was thinking that no one I knew was there and then I spotted him, one of the students who missed my speech class yesterday.

I pointed him out to Ax-Kick Eric, who was with us, and AKE asked me if I wanted to go bust him.

Definitely.

We made our way across the auditorium and it was as if my student sensed I was there. He turned and looked directly at me. I waved and smiled, as did he, and then I put my hands up as if to say, "What's going on?" I mouthed the words, "Where were you today?" and he got a look of desperation on his face. He started mouthing words to me and waving his hand in the air as if to tell me he had a written excuse or something.

I gave him the "Yeah right, whatever" face and headed out. Class tomorrow should be interesting.

    2. Is Yamato a school event?

    3. No, its a Japanese drumming group that goes on a world tour each year. They tend to perform at local colleges and smaller performing arts centers. If they come to your area, go see them. Its really fun and entertaining.

    4. I guess I don’t understand why you would “bust” him the next day at a non-school function. In my (unsolicited) opinion, that should be kept to school/school-related events. He was out and he very well could have a good reason not to be in class (unlikely or not) and his evening was colored because of your encounter. 🙁
    I am going to keep my eye out for the group though. They sound wonderful!

    6. Hello, I’m writing this comment from Japan.
    I’m interested in this blog because I also practice karate.
    The drums(taiko) are often used in Japanese festivals(matsuri). I’m happy to hear that Japanese drums are becoming popular in the U.S.

    7. Oh I see. I got the impression you were seriously getting on to him. Sorry. 🙂
