So long, Mr. Landes, but not goodbye...

Today was the Leyden District's Pops Concert. It was also Mr. Nathan Landes last concert as Director of Choirs. I have been out of Leyden for 2 years, but it is still sad. As strange as it is for me to admit, he really did reignite my love for music. I was originally going to take typing classes instead of anything, but then due to scheduling conflicts, I signed up for choir instead. And I am glad that I did. Choir was the only thing I looked forward to in school; even though it was the first period of the day, it was the most fun for me. I loved every second of it, even though I may not have acted like I did. 4 years I was involved, in 4 different choirs: Concert Choir, Bel Canto, Acapella Choir and Swing choir, and every choir was a different experience. I appreciated Acapella and Bel Canto the most. That's where I really found my voice, where I found out what I could sing, and what my potential was. I regret not being able to be more involved, but i'm glad I was able to do what I could. This post is not necessarily a good post, more of a flashback post. I would like to thank Mr. Landes for being there. I really didn't appreciate you as much as I should have until I left leyden, and more now that you're leaving leyden. You will always have a special place in my heart.
