Dear Readers,
You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time.
Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because of my senior status.
Despite this and other hesitations, I will do my best to give the performance of a lifetime.

No, Dale, you definitely deserved to get on this year. I'm so excited for you and you will be fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! What day is it? So I can put it on my calender.
ReplyDeleteMay 26th. And I think one of the reasons you didn't get picked last year was because there was a senior or two that Jack thought needed to perform even though you were better. So I think you being a senior makes it so Jack HAD to choose you. It would practically be illegal to not pick you this year. Last year it was only slightly illegal, but Jack got away with it because he's Jack. You'll do marvelously.
ReplyDeleteLet me re-phrase part of that. "I think you being a senior makes it so you're the priority. A 'worser' performer can't take your spot because you're a senior." I think that's what I'm trying to say...maybe. I'll decide after I post it. :)
