Introduction

For those of you that do not know me, my name is Keygan. A little unconventional name and spelling I know, but I love it. It's unique. I still have yet to meet someone with the same spelling. I'm 18 years old and graduated from Beatrice High School in May.

I'm big into music. I was centerstick of our drumline the last 2 years. In my 4 years on the line our winter group has managed to win 4 state championships. I have received a superior rating in District Music Contest 2 times. Once for a marimba piece my dad arranged and another for a marching snare piece arranged by yours truly. I was also a member for 3 years in the show choir "Limited Edition." Along with these 2 groups I was involved in concert band and concert choir.

My senior year was great. I was captain of the drumline and we won our 4th title in 4 years, and our show choir had its highest finish ever at GI show choir invitational. Coincedinately enough we were 4th runner up. At Distric Music Contest I received an excellent on my voice solo and a superior on my snare solo entitled IV.

Next fall I am attending University of Nebraska-Kearney. I will be majoring in music education and am very very excited for it. I like the professors and they seem to like me, so it's all good. I will be most definitely rockin' out on the drumline, hopefully on snare. Also next fall I plan to try out for the Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps snare line. That's one thing I forgot to mention. I am a huge fan of DCI, my favorite corps is Santa Clara Vanguard. I would LOVE to play on the drumline there someday, but right now it's not lookin' like it will necessarily happen. I am going to continue praying about it.

As a transition into this next paragraph the last sentence does indeed mean I am a christian. I invited Christ into my life at the young age of 3 years. My dad is the creative arts pastor at a local church at here in town. He's very talented at what he does and does it well and for the Lord. My mom blogs pretty insanely and has somewhat inspired me to start my own. She also is very active in bible studies and hosts one at our house every Wednesday. Like my dad she enjoys what she does and is fairly good at it.

Denomination? No, not for me. I am christian, period. I do my best to obey the Bible, that's it. I was never confirmed, was not baptized as a baby, and never participated in lent. None of those things are in the Bible, therefore are not required to enter Heaven. Wouldn't it make sense that if they were they'd be in the Bible?

Basically I've decided to start this because I always have too many thoughts flying around in my head. They stress me out and with college coming up...I feel this will help relieve some of the stress. So tune back in to read about my accomplishments, frustrations, happenings, and anxiety as I push on through life.
