OU Honor Band 2011

This past weekend I had the great opportunity to attend the Ohio University Honor Band and Choir festival. Not just as a spectator, but as a participant. I have to say, this was one of the best experiences I will ever have. I met a ton of great people (we called ourselves the "Cool Bitch Clan") and got to spend some one-on-one time with the clarinet professor. Even though I made myself look like a fool when I started crying in front of her because the whole situation was so frustrating for me. I usually play 1st part no matter what for all of the stuff we play in band. But, because I didn't practice my music beforehand, I bombed my audition and got last chair. I mean I really didn't care that much; I was just happy that I got in. All of the people were so nice and I really didn't want to leave. The music sounded great and I was happy with it. Being on campus for 3 days made me feel like a college kid and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait for college. The freedom is what I look forward to the most. Hopefully next year I get in as well and I can participate in the whole thing all over again.
