when I was in All-State

when I was in high school, I was obsessed with band. And I do mean obsessed

I used to suck when I was younger. then suddenly I got obsessed. and I had to make All-District

then I had to make WKU Honors Band

then I had to make All-State

so my parents bought me a Buffet Prestige clarinet with an extra Eb key (extremely RARE!)

and I skipped lunch to practice my audition music

I took lessons

I was obsessed, okay?

but it all paid off.

listen to this. It's called October, and it was composed by Eric Whitacre.

and this is me when I was a junior in high school in All-State of 2004.

Enjoy.

And if you've never had the joy of creating music like this, you're sadly missing out!!

listen to the whole thing while you're busy facebooking, or whatever you do.

God gives us all amazing talents. I'm happy that he gave me the talent of music.

oh, Christine convinced me to post THIS song as well. This is called Folk Dances, and it made me nearly pee on myself when I played it. I mean, THIS SONG IS FREAKIN FAST. If you play clarinet, you can sympathize with how fast this song goes. My fingers were flying.
