An American Portrait
March 1, 2011 | In: Thank You Gifts
I piece I wrote in 2006 (8th grade), and gave to my Middle School band director as a “thank you” gift. (It is dedicated to her.) The following year, (2007, freshman year of High School) she asked me to come conduct the band playing my piece. This is at the Spring Concert in May. (Feel free to make fun of the way I conduct. I know it looks funny. Ha, ha. Too stiff. I promise I don’t suck quite as much anymore.)

She does. haha.
She talks a lot, but I <3 her, nevertheless! haha
She’s just so passionate and sometimes can get carried away. But who can’t?

Thanks, Brian!
But no, it’s not very good at all…
The music isn’t good, the conductor cannot conduct to save his life, and the conductor also has no stage presence…
hahaha. I’m so awful at this.
But I’m getting better!

She was trying to make me sound good and what not.
And it resulted in me being quite nervous and conducting super poorly.
How did you find this video? I was trying to make it hard to come across…
