Eighth Grade

I would have to say that I did not expect all these happenings to be happening my 8th grade year. Some of you may know I am in the Rolla High School Band a year early, meaning I am known as The Super Freshman; I got to be a part of the Marching Band's movement 'Mirage' which was a lot of fun. I enjoy my veteran mellophone... reason for it's name is well, it has some battle scars on it... Sadly marching season ended and then started up symphonic and concert band, I could have also gone back to my little eighth graders and played with them, but I decided not to, which I believe was a good choice. I am now 1st chair symphonic band as an 8th grader, I beat 3 seniors, 2 sophomores, and a freshman who have all played more than I have because I have only played for more than little over a year. This also lead up to being asked to be in the college Orchestra. And soon I'll be starting up in the city band. Who would have thought when Mr. John Slowensky (My favorite and best band director EVER) told me I couldn't try out for percussion and go for French horn instead could have gotten me to where I am now? I didn't exactly know what the French horn was back as a little 6th grader either, but if I decided against Mr. Slow and went for percussion, I don't think I'd be were I am today. And for that I am very much thankful, so thank you Mr. Slow, one of these days I'll get to draw that smiley face on your bald spot you promised me in 7th grade!

Band Camp- this picture was submitted in the newspaper

Awhile ago back in 7th grade I was asked to be in the Rolla High School Marching Bulldog Brigade (or the marching band for short). Marching band is over now and I am in the symphonic band! First chair too! I've only been playing the French horn a year now and I am very glad that the day I went to see what instrument I wanted to play in 6th grade Mr. Slow (Slowensky) told me that I could not try out for percussion when I asked and instead said to play French horn. I wasn't happy at the time but now I'm really grateful that I listened to him! Here are some pictures of my first year in Marching band!

What I Want to be When I Grow Up

I was thinking about this the other day and I always knew that I wanted to make a difference in the world. Not a big huge one but just a difference. I want to be in the Air Force when I get older..... some of you might be like WHAT!!! I just want to be in the Air Force. There's no exact reason I just know that I want to. It's that simple! So sorry for those who wanted to be room mates with me in BYU I'm going to the Air Force Academy in Colorado... probably.... I know the requirements I need to have. I need to stand out in my school, band is a great opportunity and I also need to keep my good grades. I hope that maybe wanting to be in the Air Force can help me strive to do better in school. I'm pretty sure I'm going into marching band a year early I'm going into Accelerated English and Algebra next year also. And, once I'm in marching band I'm going to audition for All-State Band which is a great honor so my hopes are up! I know I have a couple of years but best be getting ready now!
