I was sitting in class today at school. I have symphonic band first period and it's usually my favorite class of the day. But NOOOOO!!!!! My band director, Mr. Walker, decided to be evil! He was trying to figure out why a part in the song we were playing sounded so bad. The notes being played were the same as hitting a black key that's right beside a white key on a piano (for all you non-music understanders). It was written into the song because that's how it's supposed to sound. I tried to explain this to Mr. Walker, but he went off on me claiming that I was a know it all. He kept badgeriing me on too by asking "You got an attitude? You got an attitude?" He kept asking that over and over and it started to piss me off! So, he pushed me into getting an attitude and I said some things that shouldn't have been said to a teacher... I am now kicked out of my band and I don't know what I'm going to do. Yes people, I am a band dork. I love music to death. Now, I'm not in it and it's killing me. I am the best player at my entire school (I've made auditions to prove it too). I used to be the "golden child" who could read anything and play anything. I can still do that, but Mr. Walker has gone crazy on me and doesn't like me anymore. I actually think it's because he found out about my sexuality... He's very very churchy and very very discriminating. I think he's holding that against me, and that's not right! It's affecting my grade in that class now! If he won't allow me to play, I'll fail because you have to play to pass that class. And we have about a month to go so I can't change my schedule to anything. Everything I have worked for has gone down the drain and it really is killing me. I just can't put up with him anymore. I've had enough. If I could quit I truly would, but the band needs me terribly. I love my friends too much just to leave them behind. So, I'm going to stick it out with Mr. Walker until the end of the year and go by what he says. But if things get worse, I'm not going to be able to handle it I don't think. I wish this whole mess never came up. A tiny little thing was blown way out of proportion because of attitude problems. I'm just sitting back in awe wondering "What the hell happened???". Maybe things will be better tomorrow.
