I think one of my favorite parts about the process of writing a romantic comedy was learning to write the banter ❤️

Currently working on edits for my English teacher x Band director romcom.

In honor of marching for my old band director for the last time a year ago today. Sadly, he died last September. But, marching for him and talking to him again after 30 years will stick with me forever. His leadership had a huge impact in the person I am.

It occurred to me that …Ready For It? and Lavender Haze both start with a steady beat, but that RFI has silence on that last quarter beat. 🤔 LH is slower, at 97 beats per minute, while RFI is quick, at 160 bpm.

We played movement 1 and 4 of this symphony and I still love it, 27 years later. I almost always listen to all four movements because they’re all so rich. #NewWorldSymphony #AntoninDvorak #bandnerd

Antonín Dvořák’s New World Symphony is a good choice for chemo treatment listening, right? 😂 I’m wondering if the third movement might give me weird dreams. #symphonynerd #bandnerd

"You are the music while the music lasts" is absolutely my most favorite quote about music and has been since I was a teenager ... I am waxing nostalgic so hard right now #classicalmusician #musician #bandnerd

Decided to try and learn oboe.

Wish me luck.

(Any fellow band dorks with tips for flute-to-oboe transition, pls drop ‘em on me)

What is a conducting baton?? At its core, its a balanced fancy stick 😁 Music directors (either for a band, choir, or orchestra) use them to direct the emotion and speed of the music.

After years of marching band and Christmas parades where we always played Jingle Bell Rock, I can't listen to the song without marching in place even after all of these years. 😂

Time to get the clarinet out. I have community band with two of my besties. 👍 #bandnerd #music #clarinet

Music from Home Alone arranged for concert band? SWEET! It's a shame didn't exist when I was in school - would have loved to play this. Great blending in there. #bandnerd

They just played A Christmas Festival and Sleigh Ride at the Nat'l Xmas Tree Lighting. Still know my part after all these years. #BandNerd

Now the GT band is playing my HS's fight song. #ThisBudsForYou #BandNerd
