I was accepted into an honor band about two months ago. We got the music a month ago, and haven't heard anything about it until today. It's being held over the same weekend as my show choir group's last competition. I have known about this competition since the beginning of the year. So, my dilemma was which director do I let down? Initially I was going to back out of the show choir trip, but that goes against everything that I've been taught. It was a prior engagement that I had, a promise I made, and now I was letting down the whole group. I told the director and he wasn't pleased. I talked to my band director, and he said that the honor band was more important. I really do not want to go to this honor band. I thought it was next week, not this week. This, I understand, was partly my fault for not double checking the dates.

Well, I talked to my mom about it, and she said that it's my decision. She also said that the show choir gig was a prior engagement and that usually when something happens like this one doesn't dump the first job for the second. She was also peeved that I hadn't recieved any info until today.

So....I'm going to talk to my director tomorrow and tell him I'm not going to honor band. He's going to be very disappointed in me and very angry. I feel like such a bad person. I've never let anyone down like this before and I really wish that I could just not deal with this. I've been on the brink of tears all day because I've been so frustrated. It isn't fair.
