Update!
So, I did have fun playing jazz on Saturday and I didn't ruin the ensemble for everyone else so that was good! Also, i had a Williamsport Youth Symphony concert last night. I didn't really have fun because, while it is made up of supposedly "the best" high school musicians from the area, we were pretty bad! It's not like we couldn't play it, it just had no life (as my dad put it and I agree). We didn't have any sense of how to play it and it sounded really dull and boring. I remember we played about five measures really well once in rehearsal and I had chills and goosebumps because it was so good! We never did anything like that again though. I think we might have been better if we had had proper sectionals. Usually they bring in specialized instructors and we break up into our separate sections to work on refining our parts, but this year they only divided us into strings and winds/brass/percussion and i know we didn't get the help we needed. We had also just switched directors, and while the person we got was really good, I don't think he was quite right for the group. We had problems adjusting to him. But anyway, it was better than our school orchestra so I guess it was a good experience. I am almost done writing my review which is good. I watched the movie ages ago so I don't remember everything perfectly, but I remember most of it.

I also have been really busy playing jazz with my sister because I'm going to be jamming with her and some other people on Saturday and I am really awful and need to practice... Her drum teacher Phil is coming over and he is really intimidating and i don't want to look like the idiot i am hahaha. I will try to finish my review this weekend though.

I will not be working on my goal today because I have three tests tomorow to study for and I NEED to study! I don't have that far to go though. I'm trying to persuade my parents to let me get my own netflix account instead of using theirs, but they think I would watch movies all the time and not pracice and do my homework so that's probably not happening.
