Sorry I have been on an extended sabbatical, guys.

Been a wild year, and I have noticed a lot about this place has changed. A *LOT* of new faces. I have been trying to find a topic to dive into, but I figured easing myself through this thread would be the best way to go.

......So what's been going on with me....?

*big breath*

Changed my major to Elementary Ed this year, moved out, working, trying to get good enough on the horn to make a gig or two in town, considering changing back to music, changed trumpet instructors. My interest in music has went almost completely to jazz; especially bebop.

....Speaking of which, my interest in playing has been rekindled, which is something I thought I wouldn't be into anymore.

Doing Music City Legend drum corps this summer, and umm... Yea.

Played with their recruitment corps a month or two ago, and the group posted on youtube. Gotta plug... YouTube - Music City Legend Mini Corps - January 2008

Speaking of the horn, I am loving the crap out of my Stage One, and have completely retired the Bach Strad.

....Had an idea for a horn recently, too...


Good to be back.

Hey Van

Quick question - how do those Loud mpc's play? I'm thinking of getting one, but they're to darn expensive...

Good to you were able to come back to TM.

Don't feel bad about wanting to change back to music. Last year, around this time, I was having a really hard time, I felt I was at the worst in my playing I had been since middle school, and I just lost interest, and changed to Biology. Over the summer, I went and helped at Band Camp for the highschool I went too. It rekindled the spark for music. I started practicing more, and within a few weeks I was a better player than I had probably ever been. I switched back to music and never looked back. Well until recently where I found that I am still a biology major since the Registrar never got their paperwork, so I am trying to fix that.
