Another Band Camp Story

Mr Evill Jr (9:43:23 PM): so this one time at band camp

Mr Evill Jr (9:43:47 PM): my teacher was talking about moments in life when you want something to happen

Mr Evill Jr (9:44:10 PM): or rather, things in life that you must do

Mr Evill Jr (9:44:29 PM): don't wait till you feel like doing it

Mr Evill Jr (9:44:38 PM): that leads to something that we all know as procrastination

Mr Evill Jr (9:45:01 PM): if anything, take the lead and gain CLOSURE for your soul !

joanhaaalili (9:45:23 PM): aw

joanhaaalili (9:45:29 PM): that was cute

Even though there is no profession to be gained from Marching Band (aside from musicianship and becoming a teacher), being involved with band has taught me so many life lessons to be utilized in life. It has been 4 years since I entered the walls of Hughes Middle School. At first, I didn't know what I have gotten myself into. After all, I was only in Marching Band to avoid taking regular PE (in which, in a way, that has succeeded. I have never taken regular PE in high school.) But everything that I have gained through 'band camp', and my musical life in general has made me a better person than I was before, although to my closest friends, that is hard to believe. So many philosophies learned; so many disciplines gained; so much music played; so much sweat poured, but in the end, it is all worth it on the path of becoming a better human being.

Thank you band camp =] And being section leader now doesn't hurt either.
