So I'm trying to start a blog. You could say it was peer pressure, or a need to write things down mixed with a hate for that stupid cramp you get when you write on your bed late in the night for several hours, but the point is that I'm a blogger now.
Anyways
So the oh-so-original title of this blog is Music In Motion. I named it this because Music Really is my life. So really, it's more of my life's motion. So if you don't care about my obsession with band, converse and girls (and not necessarily in that order), please don't read this. Also, there with be spelling and grammar errors. The really funny part is: I DON'T CARE. So If your a English Major with heart problems, this blog is NOT recommended by your doctors.
But I digress.
What I really wanted to say in this my first post is that summer time = band time. This simple math equation means countless hours spent perfecting the impossible. Things such as getting up to five kids ages 12 to 18 in perfect left-to-right lines WHILE MARCHING (which by the way is surprisingly difficult and different than walking -no up down!!!!) through the extreme heat.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!!
After that has been accomplished to a satisfying degree, each individual is responsible for memorizing often over 100 measures of 4/4 music, with all that that entails- dynamics, style, rhythms and notes, and even facial expressions while playing. So, yes it's impossible, and yes its frustrating and difficult and annoying and not even close to normal. But it is worth it a thousand times over. The reasons why are many and varied, and you really have yo try it out before you can understand, but they are there.
So that's really it for first post... I really have no idea how so satisfactorily end one of these, but here sounds like a good place.
P.S.- my little sister Lauren gets the props for my blog's look. She is the amazing computer genius around here and has a great sense of how things need to look. So Kudos to her.
