I could never be a field judge I'm way too nice

Like yesterday at BOA Louisville if I saw any band members out of step or with a low horn angle I wasn't thinking, "they aren't trying/they're awful" I was more like "shit I hope this kid doesn't pass out they're probably new"

And then the senior behind me wouldn't stop criticizing everyone else and I just hhhhhhHHHHHHHH

“… I'm certain as a lost dog ... pondering a sign post…”

“… I’m certain as a lost dog … pondering a sign post…”

… Which is probably another way of being … not very certain?

Those words are a nice lyrical image from the song I would like to share today —  “I Want to Vanish” by Elvis Costello. The version provided here by a YouTube user is a clip from his special concert called “The Case for Song”.  Indeed it was a great VHS tape from the mid 1990s, however Netflixhas the DVD if you are interested.

O Give Thanks!

“Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!” (Psalm 105:1,2 NKJV)

Sometimes, just because we cannot see all that God is doing, we tend to get frustrated and discouraged and forget all the good things He has done. What He has done before, He’ll do again and again and again. We don’t have…

North & South High School Bands Play At New York World's Fair - 1940

Seventy-five years ago, the bands from Minneapolis North and South high schools played a joint concert at the New York World’s Fair. The concert was on June 18, 1940, Minnesota Day at the World’s Fair. The following day, the bands entertained at the Dodgers and Cardinals game at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.

J. Clive Cleary was the director of North High’s band of 116 members, while W. Allen Abbott was the director of the 88-member South High Band. Visit the Digital Collections of the New York Public Library to see a photo of the two band directors (Abbott, left;  Cleary, right.)

I need help!

There was this show I watched that I absolutely friggen loved, and now I can't find it again.

It was a Korean show about some high schoolers in a band. There were the rich kids in one band who played piano and stuff, and the other were a rock band and poor. The rich kid's singer guy had a sister in show biz as well. 

The main guy in the poor band ended up getting beaten up by the rich kids and then hit by a bus I think it was and he died. 

The girl that was his inspiration ended up falling for another band member who also ended up liking her. And they lived in the top part of apartment buildings across from each other.

What's it called?!? I can't find it anywhere. :c

Playing the Trumpet

I love playing the trumpet! Who don't right! Yes there are times when it blow ( that word just works) like marching band when it like 20 something ( Im in Ne Ohio and football playoff were a bitch) or your lips just stop work after play for long time ( or a song over and over) But there are up to it ! It's the coolest thing ever and you get the cool prices to play or pt. and u have only 3keys to mess with ! That there the rest of my story comes in. I have been playing trumpet for over 14 yrs. and only have played the trumpet! Will I was in car wrack in April! The air bag fucked my face up big time ! More of the thing thet is the most important to a trumpet player my jaw.( ya I know others instruments use it to) but when you play brass this shit in your jaw is it all. My face is better but just that one spot right under my bottom lip and it's so not far. Been working at it ! But it just up sets me. That I can't even play most songs. I have been working on exercise ! But on the up side I hope this will get me even better ! Better then u was in high school
