i love everything about musicians. i love seeing peoples’ practice corners and their sheet music binders, the inside of their cases, glamour shots of their instruments, selfies with their instrument, scores all marked up and cried on, excited captions like “i finally nailed this passage!” or “my tone is getting better!” I love seeing us evolve and grow. i love seeing us support and encourage each other. i love seeing older musicians help out younger ones, giving them little hacks and tips. i love seeing younger musicians inspire and reignite a love for music in older ones. I love selfies with your section, with your conductor; pics of your set up on stage and your proud post-performance pictures of your programs and awesome performing attire. I love seeing us fall in love with our instruments and our music over and over and over again. i love our community. i love our passion. i love being a musician.
