St. Patricks's Day 2011

Maybe, the best ever.

This one day in the entire might be my favorite. It is the one time for the Jefferson Forest Wind Symphony to shine. All of us put our hearts into those three pieces of music, right at the time when it mattered the most. Straight one's down the score sheet amount to little compared to comments made by some of the most learned conductors. Yes, we do hope to go to Midwest one year. To see all three judges on their feet defies any adjective.

I got to spend the entire day with the people I love most. Rode up on the sauna with my other half, listening to VMEA. Our Yesterdays Lengthen Like Shadows is still powerful and that ever pressing E flat is remarkable.
In a way, I'm not surpised. This ensemble took on VMEA and the most difficult Festival program all in under six months. Both performances left me in tears and wanting to press the rewind button to do it all over again.
There's nothing like McDonalds at 11 o'clock at night. Thank you Mr. Webb. Without you, we couldn't have ever thought to take on such a challenge.

Band, for me, is magical. It's brought me to the best people I know. This group of teenagers, my best friends, have made something so magnificent, I'm speechless.
We've made them proud.
And together,
We can do anything.

I love you all. I never expected to have this kind of friendship in highschool. Which is why it will be so hard for us to spread apart. The Cool Kids are the ones closest to my heart.
L-WOWW, I love you so much. We all complete. Our minds work as one and we make kick ass brownies. We make profanity one syllable and we keep our brownies a secret.Your beauty, wit, and ability to put thoughts into elegant words amazes me. I am so honored to have a friend as brilliant as you. In our spare time we conspire against nagging individuals. And we bitch slap when necessary.
The Predicament- You, sir, might be the most amazing individual I've ever met. We spend entirely too much time at Sweet Frog. Our lives are a parallel to our Reality program characters. You are handsome, charming, and love white cheddar popcorn. Together we will make it those forty days. I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and will always be there for you.
We All Complete <3
