Man, my weekend has been soooo GREAT!
*All-District started Friday. it was great to have the honor of being first chair!
*us band nerds have a tradition of who we normally stay with, well, a friend decided that she wanted to stay w/a different group of people this time, but my fellow drum major friend stayed w/us instead...she is one of the most hilarious people i've ever met! it was so much fun!
*i LOVED both of the band's directors! they are sooo cool!
*The symphonic band director was Dr. Wakefield, none other than the director of bands from the University of Oklahoma...OU! lol
*Dr. Wakefield was the most patient director i've been under, and he liked me as a student! he was so nice to me!
*Dr. South, none other than the director of bands from SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY (SWOSU) was the other band director...and I'm prolly going to SWOSU! so, what a great opprotunity for me to meet him!
*i love hanging out with my friends, but for some reason, i really like hanging out with band directors to0...
*so, one time, during a break, i went up to my High School band director..and he happened to be talking to Dr. South. Us three had a short conversation, and Mr. Lewis (HS director) kept bragging about me...which i hate doing...but he did anyway. well, i decided to tell Dr. South that i was auditioning at SWOSU for a scholarship later this month. HE INVITED ME TO PRACTICE WITH HIS WIND ENSEMBLE!!! i was FLATTERED...Praise God! talk about a door opening!
*well, after that, i had so much fun just playing my clarinet. Praise God for my unexplainable passion for music...and my talent on my clarinet!!
*during recreation time, the karaoke machine was going. i actually got up and sang a song with two other people. we sang "JesusFreak" by dcTalk, however by the time we were done, only about 5 people remained in the room...
they either were offended by the song

, or they just hated my singing...
*the concert the next day was soooo much fun! i even got to see a friend i've only met once! 'twas great!
*i went to thank Dr. Wakefield afterwords, and he was talking to Dr. South. i came over and Dr. Wakefield began talking about how i "have such a great attitude"...it was flattering...
*then, we were driving home, and my dad announced that i was getting the new Toyata Highlander after i graduated. what fun!!!!
*to make a perfect day even better, we went to Chili's for dinner, and i ordered my fav...a BACON CHEESEBURGER! YUM! gotta love'um!
*later, i drove the Highlander to a friend's house, and a few friends and i watched a movie!
today wasn't as grand as playing my clarinet, but it wasn't bad either.
God bless ya'll! i'm going to go and study some vocab words. =)
