I'm doing 43 things
Going to Matthew’s sports bar for 25 cent wing night with the Tuba and Euphonium studio.
I love the fact that all of the non-horn brass studios have welcomed me into their groups. I hung out with all woodwinds and horns last year, and I wanted to jump off a bridge. This year I’ve decided to get away from needy and pretentious people and hang out with people I like. I started out by basically joining the Trumpet studio. One of my best friends is a trumpet player and he basically made me hang out with his friends. I watch movies with them, go running with some, play baseball with some and just hang out with them.
Then I started hanging out with the Trombones. Mostly we would eat and play/makeup stupid games, like ball in a bowl. Everything in the trombone studio involved food. Its great. I started spending so much time with the whole studio that it got to the point where one of the professors invited me to have Thanksgiving dinner with his extended family, so that he would have someone to talk to his father in law for him. (His father-in-law is a huge baseball fan [like me!]).
Now I’ve started spending a ton of time with the Tubas and Euphoniums. We mostly talk about sports and eat too. I love low brass guys!
Basically I’m just happy to have ventured out from the horn studio. The people there are great, I just can’t handle them anymore! Its great to have no stress friends, and a large group of people I can spend time with!
