Thoughts on this year�s marching band season compared to past years: It's gonna be a lot better than last year. I think that the staff knows what they're doing a lot better this year and they'll really be able to keep the fun factor in as much as it is needed.
Goals in life: Right now I'm really not sure except I know I want to have a career teaching music. I think I sort of want to go to Berkley...or some school like it that is perhaps a little closer to home...not to mention just SURVIVING this year!
Other thoughts: I just hope that this year is better than last year was. Correction: I know it will be. It will be my last year in band with many of my closest friends, so I think that it will probably go a little bit to fast to suit me, as I personally never want it to end! The saxes will always be the top of the totem pole and trumpets are on the bottom...I think the whole drum major selection thing proved that a lil more!! Lol.
By the way D, you are in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM 'the man' as that title has already been taken by Chris Amidon (Ammo...) and it is reserved for that other sax playing drum major, Nate Moore...so you lose!
