Hello, again, Gaia.
So, I'm at my boyfriend's place. Listening to him play Kathrine, by, I think Andy McGee. Or Don Ross. He's amazing. At the guitar, and being my other half.
So, I'm listening, and thinking to myself. "He's done high school. He has his graduation-thing to go to this coming year. The band plays that." The moment I think of the band, I get infuriated. Why, you may ask? Well, I'll explain.
I'm heading into my victory lap. And I've been in the band for about...two years. And NOW The conductor has decided to hold auditions. EVERYONE HAS TO AUDITION. Including his seniors. Which, as I said before, infuriates me. The conductor has also been my teacher of music for the past four years. He knows what I'm capable of. Instead: He allows someone who's just becoming a senior Tenor Saxophone player to NOT audition, but to let her right in. But I. I Have to. And, as stated above, he knows what I'm capable of, therefore I shouldn't have to audition. But I have to.
I know, I know, I was a little contradiction in there. But he's letting kids in without auditioning.
And yes, I've approached him about it. And his reason? "I don't want more then two good tenor saxophones in my band." Throwing right in my face, I'm not good enough.
GOD. I WANTED TO SMACK HIM. IN SEVERAL PLACES.
But the guitar teacher at my school. Is letting me join the guitar ensemble. Hoor-ah. He's awesome, by the way. Someone thinks I have enough talent to be in a GOLD-PREFORMING group. All the groups at my school are good though. The choir's kick-bum. The guitar ensemble is pretty bad-butt. And so is the band.
In our last competition, Choir won Gold, Guitar won Gold, and Band won silver. Because of me. Yeah. The conductor pulled me aside in class after our preformance. And said, RIGHT TO MY FACE: "I think we got silver because the Tenors weren't in sync."
GOD (Again). I had a fight with my section leader, so I didn't really follow instructions. But him and I made up a week before our preformance. And I spent my lunch period, IN THE PRACTICE ROOM WITH HIM, to learn what my stubborn self missed. But it was my fault.
But, it's heading onto midnight here. I should be going to bed. Night Gaia. Love!
