Yes, I'm going for a record... three updates in the same month. Well, not really, this is sort of same old same old...
Updates: There are now 700 Ways You Know You're A Band Nerd!!! I'm so excited -- we did it!
Coming Soon: ...well, in about a month I guess. I will be updating the clarinet pages, but I already said this :)
22:37 Sat 15 November 2003
What? Twice in the same month? Twice in the same week? Awe and shock, I tell you. Awe and shock. But to get on with it......
Updates: That's right, 25 more Ways You Know You're A Band Nerd. That puts us only ten more from 700!!! Yes, this is very exciting for me.
Coming Soon: I've had this website almost a year and a half... about a year ago I said this was coming soon... well, a year is soon, relative to forever, right? So over Christmas break I'm going to work on the clarinet pages... yes, pages -- I'm thinking about expanding the informational section of the site. I also really want to start a music dictionary type of deal. I think it'd be fun like.
15:16 Tue 11 November 2003
Ok, I know it hasn't been eleven months since the last time I updated. I guess I just haven't been updating this page *g*
New Stuff: Old guestbook page! The guestbook filled up, so I had to wipe them all out... but I saved them on a regular page and put a link up so you can still read the old enteries. This is exciting for me; people actually like my site! Also, against my better judgement, I've posted the "everything I need to know in life..." page, hoping I will get submissions.
Updates: I've added stuff to the "You Know You're A Band Nerd When..." list. I know, there are way too many already, and you'd think eventually we would run out... but no... hey, we're only 35 to 700!!! I would love to have 700 by the end of the year.

Wow, twice in the same month! Of course, it is Christmas vacation, so don't exprect it to be a monthly occurence.
New Stuff: Not band related, but I added a page called Beyond Band -- it's a small section, mostly just poetry, for those of you interested in seeing what there is to life outside of band (if you're too scared or don't believe it that's ok, neither do I most of the time lol).
Updates: I added many more to You Know YOu're a Band Nerd When -- we're now up to 613! I also added another chapter to The Band Bible.
22:31 Sat 21 December 2002
Happy day before my brother's 12th birthday! Uh, yeah, happy for me, because now he has a lot of new junk he can use instead of bothering me. I can't believe it's been a month since I last updated the page... sorry.
New Stuff: I added pictures from the Holiday Parade/Band Banquet.
Updates: I added a few more to You Know You're A Band Nerd When....
11:52 Thu 28 November 2002
Happy Thanksgiving! Wow, it's been way too long!
New Stuff: Sadness
Updates: Me, Myself, & My Alleged Band Nerdiness; You Know You're A Band Nerd When
23:20 Fri 16 August 2002
Did I not warn you things would slow down once school started? Well, my parents and lil' bro are out for the weekend (in Reno without me... gotta love family) so I hope to be able to do more updates this weekend.
Updates: Yeah, um.... more ways you know you're a band nerd.
13:22 Mon 22 July 2002
Updates: I added 2 things to You Know You're A Band Nerd When (sorry, it's just whenever something hits me, or when I do something and people say, "Yeah, because you know you're a band nerd when..."
I started the section about practicing on the clarinet page, but it's not done yet.
22:38 Fri 19 July 2002
Not much today. Sorry I didn't do more today, you guys. I was sort of depressed because my clarinet broked :( *sniff sniff* I'll survive though; it just means a few days without practice & haulling my butt down to the repair shop.
Updates: Chapter 3 of the Band Bible is up--The Temptation & the Fall.
23:58 Thu 18 July 2002
I stopped now so I could say that I didn't skip a day--that's technically three days straight with updates! Go me, I'm on a roll...
New Stuff: I put pictures up. Grr, none are new, but there are lots of older pictures... I haven't developed my pics from camp this year, and I'm still looking for the ones my mom took at all-state (she has a digital camera, so I have to search through literally thousands of pictures on hundreds of CDs.)
Coming Soon: More pictures, another chapter in the band bible hopefully... and sleep. Ah, good night!
22:33 Wed 17 July 2002
Oh my God, twice on the same day. Help me, I think I'm having a heart attack... yeah, we won't be seeing any of that once school starts up :)
New Stuff: There's a new Top 10 List--Top 10 Ways To Piss Off Your Drum Major ;) Oh come on, y'all knooooow I worship the drum major like God.
Updates: Lots of jokes have been added. Lots.
Coming Soon: Pictures! Ok, no recent pictures, but pictures from freshman year ('00-'01). I just have to upload the pictures, but that'll probably be tomorrow.
13:04 Wed 17 July 2002
Look at that, two days in a row!
New Stuff: I put up a guestbook. I also put a link to my email since someone informed me how impossible it is to contact me from my website.
Updates: I have added a Repertoire section to the Clarinet Page. Basically it's just me rambling & reminiscing from when I had to learn all those really hard pieces that I still can't play... but who knows, you might find some useful pointers in there, or at least a little empathy :)
Coming SOon: Do I have to do this? Let's see: I will have more stuff in the Repertoire section; I really want to get up the Second Weber Concerto & the Copland Concerto, since they're fresh in my mind--I just finished the 2nd Concerto, & the Copland Concerto is next year's California All-State audition piece.
Possible chapter 3 of the band bible? Isn't it cute? I love it. Oh, more on "Band In The Real World" from Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man.
Actually, I've decided to drop AP US History (that cuts five books off my reading list for the next two weeks), so I should be adding lots of stuff!
12:34 Tue 16 July 2002
All right, I've got homework and chores to do, so I'm afraid this is it for today.
New Stuff: The ABCs of Band
Updates: Chapter 2 of the Band Bible is up!
Coming Soon: I'll get those articles up on the Clarinet Page tomorrow, or maybe tonight (tomorrow in the early morning hours before dawn?).
And don't let me forget--I really want to get a guestbook up so I can get feedback, not mention get people to visit my website! Oh, remind me to put meta-tags up!!!
11:22 Tue 16 July 2002
Ok, so I actually did this really late last night, but it was around 12-3am, so that counts as today, right? I'm so psyched that I actually have enough stuff going on to have an "updates" section... when I used to have a website, the updates page was blank :P
New Stuff: The Clarinet page is up; it's an informational page all about (playing) the clarinet. It's not finished yet, but I've got a big chunk done (hopefully it's comprehensive; I did write it at 2 am...)
I have an updates page, which I refuse to put a link to since you're already here :)
There's a new Top 10 List--Top 10 Things To Do With Bad Reeds!
Updates: I've added more to You Know You're A Band Nerd When...; my goal is to get to 300 by the end of the summer :)
I've added more jokes, but there are still a lot more to come.
I've also added more to my little auto-bio on the main page.
Lots more from Invisible Man on the Band In The Real World page.
Coming Soon: A lot more on the Clarinet Page; stuff about warming up, how to practice, and the basics of clarinet playing. Of course, if you have questions on anything that's not there, or there's anything you'd like to see there, you can always email me.
Chapter 2 of The Band Bible.
The ABCs of Band--pending me finding something for six more letters :) -- J,K,U,X,Y,Z -- any ideas?
How about a Guestbook and getting my site publicized so people actually see it? Wouldn't that be just spiffy!
Don't Hold Your Breath: I realize all the pages are really dull since they're in black and white, does that bother you? It bothers me, especially since I really like the color combo going on the main page... or is that too girly for some of you? Anyway, I probably won't do this rennovation until fall break (beginning of October), but send me your ideas and I'll see what I can do.
I'd really like to get a music dictionary/glossary up, too, but uh, I don't know if that's going to happen.
Everything I Need To Know In Life I Learned From Band--pending more submitions!
