Band Problems

You're going to mess up. You'll chip a note. Come in at the wrong time. Go too fast or too slow. Everyone will laugh, whisper "I thought she was supposed to be good." But then I play. Whether in front of a stadium full of football fans, to a group of people at a Christmas concert or just to the band teacher. The air flows through my instrument and all my nerves are blown away for the moment. I am the bird tweeting a tune or the little wooden soldier marching on his own. Once the notes start coming out and my fingers start moving nothing else matters. Its just me and my piccolo. Once I turn to march away or sit down in my seat I dont have time

The Reassurance of Green

It was Ella's idea to hire a gardener for my mother's tulips. "I've been doing fine with them," I had said, a little surprised at the sudden suggestion. My sister had looked pointedly at the small patch of tulips that had previously encompassed the whole side yard. They were already dying, and the bulbs would have to be planted again soon. I had been planning an intense Internet search for that. "I'd like to see you do better," I had muttered, but agreed nonetheless. I left the actual hiring to my sister, though. Which led me to this moment, staring at a stranger on my doorstep and hoping rather desperately that there had been a mistake an

My Bio

My name's Sydney, but my friends call me Syd and I prefer not to be so idiotic that I must stereotype and classify myself into an easily acceptable teen movie cliche, just so I fit inside the shallow applications of each individual's creative imagination. I'm complicated. Don't tick me off.

So. Me. I'm called a variety of names. Sydney, Syd, Zyd, Mom. Whatever.

I'm a busy gal. Marching Band (bass drum), Concert Band (mallet percussion), Jazz Band (piano/alto saxophone), Chorus (Alto II/piano accompanist), Drama Club, Forensics (poetry - I was a PHSSL State Competitor my sophomore year), National Honor Society, SADD.

I like to think I'm a good musician. Piano is my favorite instrument.

I want to go to college to be a music educator. I want to be a band director. I want to inspire kids like I've been inspired. To be the person that they can go to, like my own directors have been to me. I want to push kids to their limit, then push them farther. I want them to know that I believe in them, and at the same time, I know that they can be truly amazing people - as musicians, and as human beings. That's what I want in life.

Current Residence: Band Room/Auditorium.
Operating System: Mac.
Personal Quote: "But to cry in front of you... That's the worst thing I could do."

Memorial Day.

0 min read

Well, today's Memorial Day.  Parade was this morning. I like Memorial Day.  I support our troops and appreciate our veterans as much as anyone.  Maybe more, since my boyfriend is enlisting this winter.  But I just wish it wasn't so HOT.  I mean, it's crazy.  If we weren't in full uniform, it'd be so much nicer. My thoughts for the day.

365.

0 min read

Starting January first, I'm starting a 365 Day Poem Project.  One poem a day for the whole year.  End of my sophomore year, and through my junior year.  I'm excited.  I haven't written anything in forever, and I'm really excited to start.  I'll post some of the better ones on here when I have some time.  Some will probably suck, but that's okay.  It's mainly for me, anyway.
