Just got back from Florida for my first Boston Crusaders camp. This corps is definitly on a different level than Crossmen. It made me realize why we didn't make finals. The staff is hard, very very hard. And they know what they're doing too. Everyone there is extremely good at what they do. I've never played with such a talented group of musicians ( Read more... )

2006 was my favorite year so far. Not because of national and international events, but because of my personal strides. My life changed this year and I have to attribute it to drum corps. What so many people don't know about drum corps, is that, sure it teaches you to be the best player you can be and to perfect a show, put it out there, and ( Read more... )

I always love the holidays. Even though I'm jewish and society observes Christmas foremost past all of the politcally correct changes they claim they've made, I still really enjoy this time of year. And even though presents are what it is all about for so many more people, it still feels good. I don't really understand that. Everyone is so excited ( Read more... )

Today I went to Montclair's instant decision day. I got in as expected, but as an undeclared major. It will officially be a music major when I get accepted after an audtion.

Barnes and Noble gig was nice. Got a lot of compliments.

I got an official spot with the 2007 Boston Crusaders! I can't wait to get to the first camp. The theme this year is apparently latin which is a relief considering I wasn't fans of the 2006 and 2005 shows. Even though I'm excited about this new chapter in my drum corps experience, I feel like I'm abandoning my home with the Crossmen. I've always ( Read more... )

Just got back from the Boston camp. I did very well and I think I got a 1 because the guy circled 1's on his paper and said he doesn't see why I wouldn't get a spot. They'll let me know in a few days through email. The show, thank god, is latin. No more arches.

Today was incredible. Driving to TCNJ was a lot easier than I had thought. I got there and was signed up to go to Musicianship 4, which is a combination of theory 4 among other things. Basically, I wouldn't understand anything. So I found Ali and went to her spanish class. I actually understood what was going on and what the professor was saying, ( Read more... )

Tomorow I'm going to TCNJ to spend a day learning about the music program. My schedule is as follows ( Read more... )

Does anone 17 and older want to go see Borat today?

After a while of thinking about it, I think I'm ready to get over Melissa. It didn't work out. We both had problems, she just didn't want to work them out as much as I did. Its foolish to get mad or jealous about a situation that I have no control over. I'm okay with everything now and I'm going to try to get over the awkwardness I feel with her ( Read more... )
