It might be immature, it might be babyish, but right now I really don't care. I'm going to type it all out because otherwise I'll probably go break something.
Ensemble. I tried out for a solo.
I've never ever ever failed to get a solo. Ever.
Now, don't go thinking I'm all hotsy totsy, because I'm really not, but...
Anyway, our teacher, Mr. Owen started saying the sololists. /The solo had been split into four/. Sarah, Shannon... I thought of course Shannon would get something, and Sarah is good as well. Then Lizzie. My mind reacted with a bit of shock, Lizzie cannot stay on key with high notes at all. I was prepared to hear the last name, but then I heard 'Nykole'.
My mind started buzzing. Nykole's voice is too soft, and from what I heard from people, my voice is a whole lot better.
So I'm sitting there, and I'm in a bit of shock and Kahlise looks over at me and says something like, "That was unexpected."
I nodded, "Yeah, what is this? Feel sorry for the sucky people day?"
Kahlise shook her head, "I betcha it's because you talk a bit. He said that to me when we had the flute thing for the music."
/ I distantly remembered the day when Mr. Owen told us that if Kahlise hadn't talked so much she would have been able to use her flute in the song/.
By the way, Kahlise is second chair flute and I personally think she is better than the first chair.
Either way I was pissed. Mr. Owen obviously used this opportunity to rub it in my face that I talk. Probably to teach me a lesson.
All it taught me is that I hate him and I don't want to ever come back to ensemble again.
Some people have talked bad about him, but I have always stood up for him calling him a 'great ensemble teacher'. It is something I will never do again.
He's said things to students that if reported, he could get suspended probably. You don't ask students what their future jobs would be and then naming the few 'Gangster, drug dealer, etc.'
I can't wait to get back to ensemble and listen to the softness, the off keyness, and the beat of angry blood in my ears.
