I am so sorry I abandoned music and drama in high school. I used to be able to play the flute and piccolo really well and occupied first chair, but now I'm barely able to read music anymore and learning all over again. I used to be in the school plays. This was all back in junior high. I can still hear my English teacher at the time telling my mother to keep me engaged in drama because I had a natural flair for it. Drama. Go Figure. He wanted to see me continue on. Same with music. My music instructor had both my sister and I as students. He LOVED my sister, so a few years later when I came up through the ranks I was automatically on his good side. I tried really hard to never screw that up.
High school came around and I quit drama and music. I did get dance out of high school, but it came at the price of abandoning the others. I simply could not do all three AND keep on top of my studies..and.....of course, then there was the boy issue as well.... I was distracted.
Life has thrown me a bone. I've picked up dance again and now getting involved at the 6th Street Playhouse and Cinnabar Theatre. My inner band geek and theatre geek are coming alive:) I absolutely LOVE backstage buzz whether it's for dance or drama. I love putting on make up and costumes. I love warming up. I love the hustle and bustle of it all.
I guess my point is that we are super lucky to have such quality community theatres in our back yard here in Sonoma County.
