So, I decided to start a blog. Woot?
I don't really know how to start this, so I'm just going to jump into it. Okay.
Right now, I am in love with band. Nothing, except maybe Harry Potter, has ever made me as happy as band does. The people of marching band and wind ensemble are so amazing. (That includes you, Katie) They have helped inspire me to be something greater than I ever imagined possible. Not just in music, but in life.
As a junior at high school, I am facing all of the seniors leaving right now. I'm going to miss them all so much. But what's worse, I'm thinking about this time next year. I'll be leaving. I tear up just at the idea of ending my career as a member of my school's music program and leaving all of the people. Marching band is the first thing I have ever cared enough about to work hard for, and regular band is quickly following. While I still have a year, I am not ready to leave the world of music performance.
Which makes me remember the problem with that. Music performance? Yeah. You have to be really good to get accepted into a good school for that. Even better to get a good job. I'm not that good. Sure, I'm second chair trumpet in the school, which has an amazing music program, but, right now, I'm not that good. I really kinda suck. I know I will be getting better over the next few months, but will I be able to get good enough, soon enough? I really hope so. Music... means everything to me.
When going into music, one will know that it's a very difficult field to succeed in. The only people that are willing to do it anyway are the truly dedicated and passionate people. You will never be surrounded by people who only want money, only people who love what they do. Which, while it's good to be surrounded by dedication, means that almost everyone who makes it far in the field will be really good. Making it so hard to stick out and get a job. Which is what makes the field so difficult to succeed in. It's really an endless cycle. Haha.
So, I will continue reading Harry Potter, hanging out with my friends, and attending end-of-year parties. Just with more trumpet playing mixed in. :) I really have no big plans for the near future. I have... band camp in a few weeks. Kill me now. I have some awesome peoples and some not-so-awesome peoples parties to attend, and not attend... (I still am not happy about it, Dynosaur!)

It's cool that you're not coming to my party, don't worry about it!!!!
I love how you have a tag for me. I loves you!
But I do compared to people like Sam and Cerda. Even Perry is twice as good as I.
