I used to play the clarinet and bass clarinet in my middle school band and LOVED it! I have the band pics to prove it but you won't be seeing any of those. As if middle school wasn't awkward enough, I had a bad haircut to add to level of awkwardness 😂
Going back the band part, I loved the challenge of reading music and learning new songs. It also helped that I had a GOOD band teacher and had awesome band friends as well!
With that said, it's a bit nostalgic for me to have a Zyia booth set up at Apex Friendship High School Winter Blast Band Competition today 🙌🏻 It brings me back to the days when I went to all day band competitions like this one.
But we didn't have local vendors to shop from and we also didn't have tablets or cell phones to play on. So that's where doing homework on the weekend, practicing songs and having good friends came into play to occupy down time.
58 groups are competing today and there are a lot of vendors here! From homemade jewelry, soaps, lularoe, woodworking, customized screen printing shirts, etc.
If you want a fun way to spend this rainy day and you're local, swing by Apex Friendship High School! Listen to some bands and support small local businesses by shopping around!
