Once Upon a Time...
heyy
recently (and this shows how in-love i am with the darn thing) i had my last marching band practice. we went to the high school, the annoying seventh graders showed up and invaded my concert band row... along with the other rows. but it was okay - - they didn't invade my section =). It's funny... i was in seventh grade once...
Anyway, ms. langston ran us through the music tomtom had been running us through for two weeks, and then we went outside and marched in the parking lot.
And i got such a familiar high. Omgosh, it was incredible. all we did was march in the dusk of a wednesday night in the high school parking lot, but that rush was in me - - i was going to miss it wayyyyyy to much.
The next day was a thursday. I went to mr. tomasello, and asked him if we could talk in his office. He made a face (one i didn't like.. it wasn't a happy face). But regardless, he led me into the office, and sat down.
I approached it with extreme caution.. I didn't know how to say it so that he wouldn't erupt. He's so unpredictable sometimes. So I said carefully "Mr. Tomasello... I'm not sure if it's too late, but... would you take me back?"
His response was something i was totally unprepared for. "Of course! I'm still taking people."
Well, i thought, that was easy. "But there's a problem, you see." Some dialogue i can't recall, then: "I'd have to miss the first four days of camp."
He said it was fine. I was sure he didn't understand.
Then he went on (i hope this isn't *conceated*) to say that i'm a great person, musician, marcher. I'm the vanguard (paraphrased vocab) of the fleet, blah blah blah.
That TOTALLY made my day. Heck, it made my year.
I think i made the right decision. After all, i'll have two shows this summer, and select. What more could i want, musically? I mean, i think i'm really only in the play for the making-music part.
But overall, i feel much more content.
This decision is ten times more confident than the one i made about this same decision a few months back.
