      About the Author

      Autism Brings a New Beginning

      It was finally here. Senior year. I was ready to move on with my life. I began the year with lots of excitement and high hopes of being successful both in the music world as well as in the social world. I would continue to try and develop peer relationships with other students and would again struggle in this area. As you may be noticing, struggling with peer relationships is something that would be a struggle for me over and over again. It wouldn’t be something that would just naturally go away on its own. There was a great reason for this but I didn’t know why that was at the time.

      Marching band would start out with a high note as I had quickly learned that the band directors had decided on a show called Kipawatissmo for my senior year. In this show there were three movements and two of them were arranged to start with trombone solos. The middle movement or ballad had a baritone solo in the middle of it. It was very lyrical and smooth so it would be something that would be much more difficult to play on a trombone. I really enjoyed the music to the show; I just wish we could have had a more talented group to perform it at times. Not so much a more talented group but a more determined and dedicated group that would be more interested in performing the music to the best of their ability. Again, I was a musician who even in high school, wanted to be a professional musician and perform at a professional level of play.

      I would begin preparing for my Indiana University School of Music audition the previous summer. I would start preparing one of my all time favorite trombone solos. A piece called Concertino for Trombone by David Fairdinando. This is probably one of the more challenging trombone solo’s out there on the market. It’s a very demanding piece technically but also a very demanding lyrical piece.

      When I first heard a gentleman by the name of Christian Linburg playing this piece I quickly fell in love with it.

      Christian Linburg is one of the more famous professional trombonists in the world. He’s put out several recordings of trombone solo performances. He has one of the most lyrical trombone voices of anyone that I’ve heard play in my life. Christian Linbug’s rendition of Concertino #4 would be an inspirational piece for me. It motivated me because I wanted to play it just as good as he did if not better. I was always motivated by playing with or competing with excellent trombonist.

      Frustrations and almost dropping out of high school marching band

      It was the middle to end of September and I became really frustrated with the other kid’s in marching band because they didn’t seem to take being there seriously. As I’ve stated before, the previous three years bothered me but this year would bother me more so than the others.

      Eventually I would get to a point to where I wanted to just drop out and get out of there because it felt like a huge waste of time. I could be spending my time on my personal practice or even studying rather than having to waste five minutes every time the directors would ask the students to be quiet before we could start playing or marching. I managed to stick it out and put up with all of the frustrations and finish out the season and I’m glad I did because I love marching band.

      We would eventually make it through that marching season with a gold rating at the ISSMA District Contest and then receiving a Silver rating at the ISSMA Regional competition in October of 2003. I was disappointed with the final result as it was always my dream to march on the RCA dome floor in Indianapolis, IN. Unfortunately that dream never came true and now it has no chance of ever coming through because the stadium has been torn down and the Indianapolis Colts now play at Lucas Oil stadium.

      I would begin preparing for my Indiana University School of Music audition the previous summer. I would start preparing one of my all time favorite trombone solos. A piece called Concertino for Trombone by David Fairdinando. This is probably one of the more challenging trombone solo’s out there on the market. It’s a very demanding piece technically but also a very demanding lyrical piece.
