I have no idea why I am updating I never really do all because I'm afraid of what people will say to my actual thoughts deep down but here goes nothing

Anyway, Nancy, listen to me: You are an excellent musician, and you have the ego to prove it. But when you're playing as part of a unit, it's not about rank or position. Your accomplishments, achievements, talents, whatever... they better the organization as a whole. Student leaders never work out. In fact, leading a group of your peers never seems to work out. Take me as an example. I was only one year older than some band students when I was on staff. No one listened to me because they looked at me as a friend. And reflecting back on that, I probably appreciated my friends more than I would have appreciated that leadership.
The point is: enjoy being part of a group. Don't worry about leading it. Believe it or not, there are people much more competent (even Mrs. White) that have an eye on the situation and won't let anything awful happen. Just enjoy your junior band season. Be as talented as you can be. Focus on that, it's more important than leadership.
I will take your words of wisdom and keep them in mind, but I was talking more along the lines of squad leader, because the don is actually considering us having one or two and I rather me be that than Carl or Marc <.
I seem to recall you telling me that girls are the root of all evil, good sir. And I ignored those words just the same. It happens to the best of us. This is why I'm so blunt all the time; I get tired of peoples' games and BS. Sure I come off as an ass, but I'd rather have that than people lying straight to my face. Try it out if you like, or find something to distract yourself entirely from the girl. It's pretty hard to find a medium between the two unless you're an excellent actor
