With Your Eyes, See Life
Don't ask me about the title. Many times have I just written whatever has popped out of my brain first. Today was my first day of marching practice and as section leader. I have about 6 new clarinets and I have no idea how many I have altogether because Jeff Becker didn't give me the full list because he didn't save it to Zunker's hard drive but I'll get it tomorrow. Right now my dad is on the phone so I can't call Job which gives me a little time to write. First I went to the RHS around 8 for the section leader meeting because Zunker was going to prep us to basically lead half of what happened. We played in the band room and then we broke up into sectionals and I took care of my section asking questions about the music, if they had any problems, any questions, anything they didn't understand, we played through it until we'd come to a measure or so they had problems with and then we'd practice that particular measure, I also introduced myself and had all of them go around in a circle and introduce themselves even though I didn't get the names down since it was the first time I met them. Well there was this invite for 8th graders to an RHS pep band but all of them were too scared or intimidated or something and wouldn't talk to anyone outside of who they knew. It was weird to be the leader of the clarinet section because for three years I've been a follower but I've learned a lot and now I'm going to put it to good use for my lovely underclassmen. I impressed upon them that the upperclassmen will help them and we all have fun in band and everyone is excepted the same so they'd know it wasn't some huge heirarchy that they weren't a part of. Well that's enough about band.
My summer has been... a lot of the same. Doing chores all around the house and trying to find a way to pass the days. I have community band every Monday night and now this week I have band camp and I get to experiment with being a section leader. I love being able to help people and I really like my section and the new freshman. They're very willing and work with me and do pretty much whatever I say. I've been goofing around a little so they're more comfortable with the upperclassmen and I hope they'll learn to play out faster. So as I said, that's enough of band :p. That and hanging out with Job and sometimes with friends has pretty much been my summer. I went on that two day trip to Milwaukee but it really wasn't anything extravagant.
Today I got this letter about how my poem has been selected or some crap and they want me to come to their huge poetry thing with celebs to present it and I might be able to win anywhere from $1,000- $15,000 but I really don't believe it. Something about how it's going to be on national tv too. I think it's just a big ploy to get me to send in this registration fee. So I'm going to call Job back and then I'm going to get ready to go to another rousing night of community band at the JWJHS oh, sorry, it's been changed to the JWJH now *rolls eyes*.
