On the Stage

I played a bad boy like this from 5th grade through my senior year of college. Ok, so 5th grade-high school I wasn't playing as shiny of an instrument, and it was not a four-valve, but college I was playing a beauty like that.

I got one for Christmas from my parents 3 or 4 years back and I haven't drug it out to play it that much, and it has a sticky valve (got a non-brand off eBay, guess I get what I pay for) and so I need to take it into Reiman or some place and have it worked on. But MAN I miss playing!

We had one kick ass band in high school (1's at every level of competition) and an even kick ass-er band in college. We played some heavy duty stuff and it was the time of my life. Band/Choir/Theatre at college was just the best! I live for those activities, and to have band/choir rehearsals everyday for an hour each, and then most times go to theatre rehearsal at the end of the day for hours and hour was the life! Staying in the dorm with my best buddies and eat at "the rot" as much food as I could shove in my stomach...fantastic.

But sometimes that big band, beautiful sound we made...I miss it.

Hopefully tonight I'll be able to drag out the 'ol "euphie" and play some...afterall, I don't have ITW rehearsal tonight.

And V's mom and dad and brother are coming from Washington tomorrow for a week!!! Excited!! Then NEXT Saturday her sister and her husband come in and stay for a week!! And I get Monday off, then go to work Tues and Wed. then take Thursday and Friday off then the entire next week off...THAT, my friends, is exciting!
