Almost On Top

I could say how it feels like only yesterday that I was arriving at New Marcher’s Fundamentals, and how the last 3 years have been a breeze. But that’s been pretty much a lie. To say that high school so far has been that little is giving a lot so little credit. A lot of […]

Why am I such an Idiot?

So the other day, during band, we were doing a recording session for graduation. If you ‘member, we recorded P&C last year because the Merrell Center wasn’t going to hold an orchestra as well. This year, they decided that P&C is much too boring to play in and out, so on the way out, they […]

A Proposition

New York

So that was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever done. I hate to recount events like what shall follow, but it seems to be the easiest, most inclusive way to do it. Before I even get into the actual events, a humongous hugs and thanks to my group for being a lot of […]

Recap

So the band got offered to get a small pep group to play for the Copperheads tonight. I, never wanting to miss an opportunity, jumped on it, and boy, was it a waste of 5 hrs. Possibly the one great thing that happened all night was this one play, a PAT play. The placeholder guy […]
