Another day, another 50-minute drive from Austin to Austin to play at a “local” high school. This is the view from warming up.

I’ll tell you what though, those types of visits made a big impression on kids like me by showing me what it would be like if I stuck with it. Conversely, as a high schooler, we would visit the middle schools and show them what high school band and orchestra could be like if they stuck with it.

We had “young people’s concerts” when I was in Elementary school where the city’s elementary schools go on a field trip to see the symphony. Easily some of the coolest field trips ever. At least until I got in trouble for pretending to ride a horse in my seat during the William Tell Overture (I was in 2nd grade!).

We do a series where the elementary schools come to us. This is our run out series.

My middle school chorus would tour the elementary schools and we’d get to miss lots of class.

And Burger King for lunch, and my folks always gave me money for that and they were skinflints.

I see this is a leak of the new Doom game where you play as a Revenant.

Unfortunately, I don’t get that reference at all. Sorry.

Someone photoshopped a trumpet onto a Revenant from Doom many moons ago and it gained meme status.

I’m guessing this is it?

You are correct.
