What lies in the future?
Today was Junior Career day at my High school. I go tto listen to three spakers. I chose the Computer Programmer, Actor, and Music Professor. I was interested in all three fields, so I gave each speake ra chance. The Programmer and Actor quickly bored me or turned me off of the field. However, the music professor didn't. He only raised my intent to learn. Sure, it did help that he plays Tuba (just like me), but I'm interested in more than just performing for the music career. Maybe even possibly teaching.
If you've been following my journal, I'm sure you know how pissed I was when Mr. V told us that he was told by someone that Band is nothing more than a "glorified study hall." I'm completely aware that music programs around the country are being cut and it really pisses me off. I dont' want to see that happen. I want to fight it. I want to stop it. This could be one of those big realizing, eye-opening experiences of my life right here. I understand that it'd be hard work and I'm going to have to acquire some new skills, but I'm willing to fight for it. I'm willing to take a deep breath...say I'm going to do this and do it. Why? Because I believe in it. Nothing can stop me if I believe in it.
The Spring Concert is coming up. Am I pumped? Hell yeah! I always look forward to the concerts and enjoy every minute of them. I love being on stage and I'm extremely used to it after spending so much time on it the past couple of days *L*. We're having Concert Band on stage now, so we can get used to the different accoustics the room has compared to the band room's. I love it.
