Music is AWESOME!

Did I mention that music is awesome? Well, it is.
I have had the wonderful opportunity to sit in the middle of some fantastic bands in my lifetime so far, and I have to say that sitting in the middle of a band that is playing some rockin' music is one of the coolest experiences a person can have. You just don't  get the same vibe by sitting outside the band. Something that everyone should have on their bucket list is to sit in the middle of a band, even if you're not playing.
If you couldn't guess by now, I played with the pep band last night, and it reminded me just how awesome it is to play with a big group that is so good that it makes you want to be better just to not feel like a failure. It's exhilarating to have to improve to meet the group's standards instead of half heartedly improving to be better than a group that's only kind of decent. Don't get me wrong, I loved playing with the Cyprus pep band because my wonderful teacher Mr. Wilson loved it, but the Badger pep band is literally insane, and the feeling of music so loud that it is literally reverberating through my body is absolutely exhilarating.
On another subject, I have really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know and enjoy my wonderful roommates. Although we didn't know each other before we moved in together,  we have all connected really well which has lead us all to spend a lot of time together. Three of us are in the same sectionn in band, which makes it even more fun because we spend lots of time ever doing something we all love. And even though we all have lots of similarities, we are all different enough to have a really fun time getting to know each other.
Well, I'm off to more adventures!
