to concert band or not to concert band
Last night I went to my sister's band concert, per usual around this time of year. Unfortunately, I've made it a habit of not being in concert band in the fall due to class conflicts and the time sponge that is marching band, leaving me as part of the audience. But, I'm not the typical audience member. I'm that person who feels physically connected to the band- not even the better one- because it's the band that helped me get through my first year of college. It's been there as a constant, familiar home. Of course, thinking about this got me teary-eyed many times throughout the evening.
Rees came up to me tonight after rehearsal. One of the members of the clarinet section needs to quit due to health issues and he wants me to join for the remainder of the semester.
So, my dear internets, what is a girl to do? Do I join up again and take four hours a week out of my free time I probably wouldn't use very wisely? It's something that I love, it's an escape. Or do I pass this opportunity up? I'm not working because of the time thing and the class conflict thing is cleared up for the same reason. I probably can't even play concert-like any more. Too much marching band has most likely ruined my sound.
Poll Help?
