I am a dad who won similar awards when I was a kid (drumline section leader, sax then bass in jazz band, etc.)
I wish I could be there in person to tell you how proud I am! I know first-hand that it takes a massive amount of determination and skill to get there.
No matter what else happens in life, you were a critical part of something very special. You can go through life knowing that you can do The Very Difficult Things and even be numbered among The Best at something if you decide it is worth the effort.
You already showed you dont actually need validation from us, though. Be damn proud of yourself, drummer woman. You have earned it.
