Hi, I am also a high school student. At any level you are going to encounter a
competition, its healthy. I play in a youth orchestra and a youth wind ensemble
out side of school, and trust me I see my fair share of competition. The one
thing I have grown to love playing in these bands is that no matter what chair ,
let it be principle or what ever, you are still going to learn from one another.
I have learnt a lot from many people from the roads I have taken to get where I
am, and I am very greatful for that. Never underestimate a learning opportunity,
even if it is your high school band.
