SAM RUTHKOSKY AND LISA ROBERTS CONGRADS! Conduct the hell out of Disco Inferno for me!
To Lisa, '08 Field Commander
I love you much. Lisa, I think I was just in the audition for you. And my work is done. No matter how much I wanted to use that whistle or conduct Disco Inferno-- I only cry, because I realize that you and Sam will have memories that don't include me. That you get special times with each other and I'm left here alone.
But don't cry for me, I'm just happy that life was that much more important to me for those months. And I'm not going to say what I've said before, but instead, cry a little, heal a little, cheer alot and put only .9999999999 of my heart out there that field and half of that belongs to you. The other .0000000001 belongs to me and me only. Over all, I'm COPACETIC!
I'm a tuba--- we hit things hard, laugh, let it all out, get some dents knocked out and come out better than before. I know how my role model feels (My senior, Ed Lionte, who really wasn't my senior- but he was) THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVED I WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE HELL OF A DRUM MAJOR. I guess we can't see what would have happened. Now those silly freshmen for the next two years will have to deal with me on the field. And if they're in my section or my freshman--- easy ain't an option. Silly Schoenherr! Raven on the field is a helluva lot more dangerous than Raven on the podium... I guess this means no more random conducting :(. Which is the saddest thing, 'cause I live to conduct. But I'll live to die another time. I get Jenny, Laura and Courtney-- who all love me, I think. And I love them back. Another thing is that I realised that I wouldn't fit in the first place. Things will be awkward for a while tho. No offense to anyone. DM/FC changed my life, the essence of who I am and where I want to be. I think Schoenherr wanted to see me out on that field, he was so excited when there was 4 tubas guarenteed without a freshman. I'm going to ask Schoenherr what I need to fix, if anything, for leadership as tuba section leader next season ('07-'08). Instead of band as my main focus-- me and Ben and Sarah get to rock out as Section Leaders-- and give all y'all hell. 'Cause the truth is that can't nobody do it like me. And you'll love me for it. Sam and Lisa will be a little scared senior year. And the more I talk... the better I feel.
(P.S.-- I saw the signs, I knew they were there, a long time ago... and yet, I still got my hopes up, don't be as naive as I was... you see 'em, know 'em, DEAL WITH 'EM... Don't ignore it like I did.)
I love you more than you can believe,
