tune

oh my and PInWheeLS

yEs and that thing where you have several concentric circles that rotate and the people in the outer circle (who usually play bigger instruments) have to basically sprint to get to their dot.

Our new drill writer doesn't know how to write drill, either. He's the son of our old writer. The old one had a heart attack apparently.

Our show isn't even written yet, our director is a guitarist, he doesn't know what he's doing.

oof our drill is written and because our band is so big, we're gonna be forming a mosh pit at the end of our show

also we have MANY visuals our director told us

We're laying down in the beginning and I'm so hecking excited

Today during sectionals the section leaders had a meeting so I got to warm us up and tune and it went terribly but whatever 👍

I hate calendar sales

sOaRiNg SoUnDs!!!!

Sophomore: I literally haven't practiced this at all I don't know it at all
Me: I heard you practicing before I walked in. You have it memorized. Shut the frick up

Us, having done Zumba and fundamentals on the track, waiting for the football team to get off the field so we can work on pregame
Their coach makes them run to a yardline, fall, get back up and do that all the way to the fifty
Someone: whoever says the marching band works harder than the football team is insane

I digress. I think it depends on the school. My school's varsity team is so bad it made my dad laugh at them and we're 1000% my school pride. He said the best part of the game was us.

Our parents are the only people other than the student section that actually go to games. And there are some where it's literally just us

true lmao

I can't ask the students if the band or football team were better because I'd get some pretty rocky answers.

My schools football team is known for being awful, the band and cheer halftime show is the highlight of football games

Our first football game is today and no of course I'm not listening to our show why would I do that don't be silly

Eighth grade band night is tomorrow so we're meeting them today and practicing and I'm gonna be section leader next year so I'm supposed to lead it and I don't remember what we're supposed to do with them

kill them

jk just go over with them what they’re supposed to do and how to march onto the field and stuff so they don't look totally horrible.

HECK! I forgot that this year they're doing pregame with us. Oh boy this'll be interesting

shit do you guys do like, your field show with them? that’s all my school does with the eighth graders.

I have pre-mpa's this Saturday save me

I'm not entirely sure how it's going to work. Usually, we go on the field at halftime and they come out with us and we play some songs and then we do our show post-game without them. But it sounds like they're actually marching pregame (which is what we call our thing with the fight song and alma mater and the national anthem. I don't know if that's what other people call it) with us this year instead. So I have no clue what's happening and I don't think anyone else does either lol

Okay, I think I figured it out, and I made a list of stuff we need to do. I just hope I'm not missing anything

We have our first competition this Saturday….. I am Not ready

I'm not ready for MPA's this Saturday
