Chris,
First, Congratulations on being one of Amy's students. She is a great person.
Second, Congrats on taking her advice and going to a smaller and appropriate for you 3C mouth piece. That big mouth piece was good for your high school career to blend with the section. I'll bet you had a great sounding band.
Third, The link above is excellent. Jens really knows how to write and express himself and get the point across to us.

Give that feature with your band all your effort and do it. It is your last shot at setting the bar at your high school. Leave a legacy. Keep in contact with Manny and Alex so you have a good frame of mind and confidence. What is between your ears is very important.

Good luck. Normal is a pretty good town.

Jim
