tune

It is disrespectful towards the band but like you said @CorbinB3 a lot of people got really mad at them and were yelling at them afterwards about how they shouldn't do that

Clarinet!!!!!!! :D I also play piano!!

Clarinets are here!!!

Nice! I play piano too! What piece/composer are you working on this year @WingardiumLeviAnna?

It's so weird that bands aren't friends with each other in some places. All of the schools, bands, and even sports teams are really supportive of each other. Many of us know each other from mixed school district bands. Do you guys have a way for students from different schools to meet, talk, and play with each other?

Yeah, but we only have one and that's every other year, if we're not counting competitions. A lot of my friends from middle school went to different high schools and we're still really good friends, it's really just our rivals that we don't get along with and that's really only the sports teams, not the music/arts programs.

I am back, and yeah, it was a competition. We got 3rd.

That's great! Good job!! :D

It would have been better if our drum major didn't get overexcited and fall off of the podium. real funny moment, but that isn't what caused us to lose points. Our soloists didn't practice, and they screwed up pretty badly…

Aww, I'm sorry. Our drum major fell of the podium too this year, she had gotten super excited in the stands when our sucky football team actually made a touchdown and she started jumping and then she was gone. She didn't fall too hard though so it's okay XD

The falling off the podium was the best part. Her trying to get back up and fix herself, and trying to keep time was hilarious.

I agree, that's the best part when they're frantically trying to get back in time and figure out where they were XD

We were fine. We knew where we were, and our tuba soloist got her back on track.

Sorry Sousaphone. I get symphonic band mixed up so much.

Me too, the tubas and percussionists get so mad about those things XD

They reee all the way if you mess up the names of the instruments or their names

Well, the trumpet section does that too. One of the cornets called themselves a trumpet and we flipped out on them because a cornet is not a trumpet XD

That greatly triggers me…

A cornet sounds almost muffled, and it sounds warmer.

I like them better that the trumpet, because it is easier to listen to.

I don't know, I think they sound worse than a trumpet. They're almost always out of tune unless you're a really good player. Not that I don't respect what you're saying @@Winter, I just disagree, but I'm also biased so… XD

I figured. You are a trumpet player. But, we do have a really good cornet player… I mean when I say good, I mean he can hit the 4th octave like it is nothing…

Holy cow! We have trumpet player that can hit most of those notes easily but he's a senior and is leaving next year :'( but we don't have any good cornet players so that does't help either XD

The best thing about him is that he is a sophomore…

Well, now I have to go to band class… Man, I hate schedule changes…
