Aye, move out. Use those awards you recived in band to get into a school that focuses on the arts.

If that doesn't work out, go join the military.
For military hang-ups. WHO GIVES A SHIT. It will get you the hell out of the house. And 4 years (or longer depending) isn't that much of life. If you invest money wisely, you won't be in a shithole when you get out. The world is full of possiblities, and sometimes you have to take the shit to get to the gold nugget that damn leperchan just crapped out.

College money in some places. Go join the military band.
