December 13, 2011


(9:45pm)
We had our concert tonight. It was my first and last concert in Jazz band, my last concert in general, for New Town. I will admit I was a bit sad coming into the concert. First off, I left my black shoes in Oklahoma, so I had to wear the marching shoes. And I also forgot to tell my parents that I needed a shirt for the concert, so I didn’t get one until last minute today. Other than that, it went well.

I kept messing up on all of the concert band music, but I was great on the jazz band pieces. I didn’t practice the concert band pieces much. I enjoyed hearing the strings play. I’m surprised Khalil wasn’t on it. They also didn’t have a viola, which Jacquynn used to play. I wanted to sign up for string orchestra in 5th grade, but my parents wouldn’t let me. They thought that it was for “girls”.

I don’t know why we had to wear those thick and hot marching band uniforms. Those things were hot as all get out. On top of that, no one knows how to march, so we all had to walk in. you can’t be a marching band and not know how to march, that’s like being an artist and not knowing how to create anything. I also had to share my music with one of the other trumpet players because he didn’t bring his. Torture. I couldn’t see it. Plus, I barely knew one of the songs, so I just filled in what I could. Did well though.

I tried recording videos, but people kept trying to talk to me, so I couldn’t get a clear reading.

Doña, please don’t fail me ☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻
