    Playing Symphony Center

    Yesterday I had the privilege of playing at the Chicago’s Symphony Center (where CSO plays). I’ve been in band almost continuously since 5th grade, but never thought I would be able to play at such a prestigious venue! Lakeside Pride Symphonic Band and the Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony sounded great and I had such a blast making a dream I didn’t know I had come to life.

    The They Jar - $1

    I've been living with my parents for about a month. After some difficult and emotional discussions my Dad decided to make a "They" Jar. Where he and my mom add a dollar every time they mess up my pronouns. It hasn't been that long, but I'm already noticing a difference, and it sure does make me feel loved.
