the band room is one of the few aspects of high school i actually really miss. by the middle of senior year i was spending about twice as much time in the band room as i did in class: and not just to get out of classes either. whether i wanted to practice, hang out, sit and chill, or whatever, the door was always open for me and my lunatic friends. and for everyone else too, but especially for us. most of us stopped using lockers and left our stuff hanging around the room on a daily basis. we talked about installing a futon under the table since we all lived in there anyway, we kept more food in the fridge than our teachers did, we really were the resident band nerds.
D and G were two of the awesomest teachers i've ever had, simply because they were real people first and foremost. i really don't know what more i can say. they understood us and our myriad quirks, they really did care for us (wrote me more late passes than i care to think about hehe), and they genuinely did enjoy our company. i've had intelligent conversations with them, i've said some of the dumbest things ever, i've just been me all along and they were always cool with it (enough to write me college recommendations too!).
i cried the night of my senior concert, not because i was leaving the high school, but because it was the last time i'd be playing in the band.
i guess all i can really say to you guys is thank you. for everything.
