Looking back on it, this year was pretty great, especially second semester. In January, I made the All District Jazz and Concert Bands. I was in the lower band for each one, but since alto is extremely competitive for the amount of spots it gets, I did really well. When it was all said and done I was the third best player in the entire district in Concert and in Jazz. And as a player I've greatly improved this semester, thanks mostly to the much more rigorous practice schedule that I recently adopted.
In the area of school, I did fairly well in all my classes, but my most important accomplishment was my ACT score. I couldn't believe it, but I got a 35 (which I didn't expect mainly because I didn't study and the last time I had taken the test was in 7th grade). All of the sudden I realized that I could go to most of the colleges in the country with that ACT score and my GPA.
Finally, I succeeded in one of the most important auditions of my life, and became a Drum major for the 2015 Henry Clay marching band. I now have the opportunity to lead my favorite group of people to results that none of us could ever imagine.
All in all, this year was pretty great.
