You know, drama was a big thing in high school. At my school, it trumped debate, which was cancelled, at they beginning of my first year with a somewhat young male teacher I liked a lot. There was a cool boy everyone liked in drama, just a little older than me (a year and a half,) and he was in my class.
So, I just noticed musicians are always excluding. Like, start late and it's some sorta hell. I was encouraged to start things like band in high school, though, by the instructor. I was in piano lessons and enjoying playing music when I could. I did want to do dance instead after I moved away from somewhere, for my health too.
So, I just noticed it was funny how people disrespect things that you can start late, like acting, singing, maybe dance team or cheerleading. I started singing by myself at age 5. I stayed in gymnastics, which I started at age 1 3/4. Actually, dance is hard for me, like ballet I did, to remember the steps, maybe because I was trained to be a gymnast, though I never competed but was on top.
You know, I think there are other reasons than that it's harder to start music late unless it's high school band I guess. A lot of people flocked to choir with a glaze of tears over their eyes because they got into it later. I got into it at age 8 and stayed until age 20. I quit because I wanted to do professional music and make money and hopefully practice more. Now, I can't just drive anywhere yet and take the bus because I don't own a car but live at home with my dad and younger brother still. It's tragic. I'm 34 years old. I will probably live on my own, soon.
Musicians are always acting like they don't get enough attention, but are they the only ones? Probably not, but it may seem like a revelation.
