Band

This past Thursday was my last band concert with the Green Valley high school band. When I look back on my band experiences I realize how much I have learned. Although everyone complains about Ms.K she truly has taught me a lot about music and life. Through band I have learned how to organize my time and how to be diligent. I have had to deal with really hard things, like playing in front of the band for solo ensemble, in band and they have made me a stronger person. When I look back at my Freshman self in band I was so timid and everything about high school and band scared me. But now that I am a senior in band all my good friends are in band with me and I feel like I can truly be myself with band kids because no matter how weird you act there is always someone who is weirder. I think I will find myself missing that camaraderie that occurs between people when you are with them everyday for four years. I have met some of my best friends in band and it makes me sad that when we graduate I will probably never see any of them again. Since your the only person that reads this blog jill I can only compare it to your experience in Nauvoo. You spent everyday with those people and you became really good friends with them. Imagine doing that for four years. Granted there are some that I hope end up homeless, lonely and begging for food but most of them I like. Well, I have to go to a band gig :)
