First Football Game

Yay!  The first of a string of practically a million football games.  We won, which was nice.

The rehearsal before the game was four hours, but it wasn't too bad.  It was the happiest I ever was to be at rehearsal.  I had to go through a lot of work to get to it.

The performance was okay.  One flutist who I stand next to for practically two thirds of the show was there for rehearsal but not for the game.  That made it tough.  I really depend on the people next to me.  I just kind of know who I'm near in each set.

I told my mom how the flutist told my band director that she wasn't going to be there for the game.  Now she said that if my band director let that person out, I should sign up to go on a retreat and just tell him I'm not going to be there.

I feel really bad about doing that, since I've already been late twice.  It's kind of stressful balancing marching band, work, school, flute lessons, etc.  My mom wants me to do band all four years, but my dad wants me to quit.  He says that since I'm not thinking about making flute my career, why am I doing band.  Also, I need to figure out what I'm doing with the rest of my life.  He also said that high school is the time to do things that you enjoy, so he's not standing in my way.
