Things that are different:
- I drive a minivan to band practice instead of a cute sports car.
- I have to worry about scratching my horn with my wedding band.
- I don't have Senior English class afterwards.
- If I ever do, "Senior" won 't mean "grade 12"
- Though I know all of the notes, I have no degree of certainty that the correct note is going to come out.
- I'm not first chair.
- I won't be "challenging" first chair.
- After the first 10 minutes of rehearsal muh-by luh-bips fuh-beel luh-bike thuh-bis.
- I actually watch the director.
- I probably won't be voted "Band Sweetheart" this year.
Things that have stayed the same:
- I'm a nut about arriving at practice on time, so I don't have to walk in in front of everyone.
- I keep chapstick and a pencil on my music stand.
- I use a cute (seasonal) towel, because valve oil on your pants is just... icky.
- I still have the same Coach tag (from a Coach purse) with my name label on my horn case, because it's all about cute.
- I remember all of the fingerings.
- I count measures on my fingers.
- I sit there the whole time thinking "Don't-call-on-me-Don't-call-on-me"
- I LOVE playing Christmas music.
- I listened to a great U2 song on the way to rehearsal last week.
- I get to go hang out with that cute guy, Luke, after practice. (I think he likes me!)
