I'm so mad at my mom...

Karen that is the sweetest thing you said about your mother. I understand your mother passed away? She sounded like the perfect mother. My dad was like that, just the most wonderful dad I could have ask for.

I think having Karen's Mom, and all of us Mom's out here, with you in spirit will be a good thing, Meg!!! :) I know I would love to hear your concert. I was on the edge of my seat when Helen had her Christmas concert. My husband, Scott, and Helen's dad were unable to attend, but it was perfect, and I loved every minute, and I know they would have too! Helen plays the flute, and has been since she was in 2nd grade. She's now in the 7th grade.

Try not to take your disappointment out on your mom, although I know it is hard not to. Lots of changes in life can bring out all kinds of emotions that your mother probably doesn't understand, let alone you. Maybe you can play her your part as a solo later tonight! And if possible get a tape or video of the concert so she can enjoy it later. Could you possibly take your camera and have someone take pictures?? We'd love to see them!!!! :)

My mom passed away 5 years ago (I think), she had ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease.) She was a great mom, and lives on in her children and grandchildren.

Thanks guys. We are the best high school band in our county, and I wouldn't doubt that we are very high up there as best in state. We are no competition to our rival High School, East. Some people come to basketball games and such JUST to hear us play. I don't blame em! ;)

My band teacher is moving me up to this Advanced book, which he only gives out to certain people. The 1st chair French Horn has her book, and she's a senior. And I'm only a freshman! He says I am a great player and he's moving me up now. :)

I feel your disappointment Meg and I am sorry, not much I can say really except you will play fantastic whether she is there or not, it is a shame she does not see this as a priority, and I really do feel for you, try to keep your spirits up and not let it get you down too much(I know easier said than done), you know she is the one really missing out , and one of these days she will wake up and realise this and it will be too late.

Now you go and enjoy the band concert, and have a great time sweetie, cheers and good luck for the concert, and besides Karen's mother's spirit will be there and believe me each and everyone of us on PT will be with you too, in our own way kiddo.:)

Im so sorry.:( That sounds terrible,your mom should really be more involved with you.You sound like a great french horn player.:)

Megan,

If the tape is available for purchase, send me a PM and I'll send you the money, okay? You should have it as a keepsake.

I'm sorry about your Mom. If you lived close enough to me, I'd make sure I was there for you!

Please let me know if the tape is available, okay?? And play your heart out honey!!

As always, our concert ROCKED, and once again, we got a standing ovation at the end. I think most of the people come just to see us. It's a great feeling.

Moosmom-

Thank you for your very kind offer. I'm going to see if they are selling the tapes, and if so, I will purchase one. Thanks! :)
