Haha! Yeah!
Gotta love the eardrum busting power of the piccolo.

My boyfriend, a fellow flute player, haaates the piccolo.

Even though there's no use in crying over spilled milk . . .

-----Haha. I love it 'cuz then I can actually hear myself play out on the field during football season.

. . . At least let me clean my mess up and pour myself a new glass.

 

[Dii of Babylon]

I can't march it though.
Not good enough for the directors.
But oh well! There's hope for me in concert band.

-----My school doesn't have a marching band. :[
We just sit at the sidelines and play. Depressive...
I'm hoping we'll have one at least by my senior year. :]

[Dii of Babylon]

Dang that really sucks. :<
Marching band is so much fun.

-----I know! It looks like a lot of fun!
I'm so jealous. A couple of the other schools in my district have marching bands, but we don't.
We just have four different level concert bands.

. . . At least let me clean my mess up and pour myself a new glass.

 

[Dii of Babylon]

We've got... I suppose five concert bands.
Two are freshmen bands.

Our Marching band is like on of the top five in Texas.

It's a lot of work, but totally worth it.
Do you know why y'all don't have one?

 

[Fanoto]

eek We just have one band...

Oh well, that's what we get for being 2A  

[Dii of Babylon]

Yeeey 5A.
: D

 

[Fanoto]

5A schools scare me. They just seem too big. I like having such a small school, I can name practically every kid that goes here including some information on them. Also kinda blurs the lines between cliques so that everybody is more so a single kind of group rather than little separate ones. Although on the downside, we don't have a soccer team crying  

[brileone]

thats sad. i dont feel your pain

-----2A? 5A? Sorry I'm unfamiliar with this system.
We probably don't have a marching band because it's too much for one director to handle?
Idk... We have one band director, one jazz director, and one orchestra director. That's it. Despite our strong music program.
But the school can't really afford to keep many teachers any more. With all the budget cuts and all...
A lot of the teachers at my school got laid off for next year.

. . . At least let me clean my mess up and pour myself a new glass.

 

[Fanoto]

2A & 5A refer to the size of schools through population. In 2A, we have under 300 kids while in 5A, I think they have over 1,000 or something. As for number of directors, we only really had one director while the assistant director just kinda sat around and did nothing.

-----Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification!

[call_me_ishmail1]

At least you hit 2A. We never got past a high 1A. Of course that wasn't bad for us. We were later in the morning most of the time got higher scores because of it.
