AquaticPisces Kitalpha Hart AquaticPisces Kitalpha Hart Ayame-Yuura AquaticPisces LOL yeah, so many key changes in that song. ><"
There are some saxes that are small, about the same size as a clarinet, but
they're expensive. ;-;
The one that I play is an alto, carrying it around isn't that bad...unless you take the bus.
*pats back* Could only compare to some Filipino Christmas songs. They're fast as heck, they're like tongue twisters to sing and the key shifts many times too ;__; Oh~? I didn't know there were small sax. Nice to know~ And oh right! Saxes are classified into different kinds, huh~? The only instrument I know that I have a hard time carrying around is... The keyboard. Oof! It's sooo big. XD XD And I can't take public transpo carrying it around >.<" my band has alto, tenor and barry (baritone) saxes Same with my band. xp
Carrying a barry sax is torture. x_x so least school year, my band class went on a trip to Boston. She school we preformed at had a really nice band room, and when our bass clarinet suddenly stopped working, they got us another one. We go out to the aud and went um, ew. Ours is better. The seats sucked, so did the stands and percussion instruments. The bells were held up by RUBBER BANDS, it was so bad. The timphanis were all different makes, and the snare was bad. It was like their instruments were abused! We still managed to hook 1st in High School class C concert band and High School concert band. Second highest score, beat out by a middle school band. Booyah Also saw Blue Man Group Just reading that made my stomach churn.
RUBBER BANDS! Are you serious? ._."
Way to go first place! I always wanted to see Blue Man Group.
Back when I was in middle school, the school board
hosts a music festival, my school won first place as well, against
some highschool.
Anyway...RUBBER BANDS?!
geez. this year, one of the ropes for the marimba (i think? it's some fancy xylophone) broke, but a kid had one small enough and long enough to replace it. it's doing very well, it's the same style, just camo color instead of white
and at my school, while the chairs and stuff aren't the best (standard metal folding chairs), they're not about to fall apart. and we have a wooden snare drum, and everything's top notch. if not, then damn near~
we had to replace the rope that held up the gong as well this year. at one point the temp rope was a bunch of cloth twisted together X'D
but we have actual clothesline (heavy-duty) holding it up now, with tons extra for when it frays ou o |

KittySongLUVsJONASBoys Really? And they manage to keep them all relatively active? What's the point in having so many? Yeah, only have this Spanish presentation to prepare for. But other than that, pretty low key.
Oooh, exams... fun (and I totally did not just shudder)
Exams haven't poked their heads out of the ground yet, but I await the dreaded day when Exams get confident enough to make an appearance.
Thanks C= I don't normally get sick, it's just the stupid weather.
Not really cold, but not quite warm either. Just warm enough to fool you into thinking that you don't need to bundle up and then WHAM! You're sick. |

the ultimate tongue twister. x_x
LOL keyboards, I remember we had a three person team to carry a keyboard
upstairs.
Everyone fights for the third person's job, carrying the seat and cords. xD
True, true! Oh my gosh... When we had to sing "Diwa ng Pasko", I'd have liked to call quits... Until I heard some other songs that were even faster! D':
Ohh~? Really~? I just carry mine using the handle thingy and hold it with my other hand so it doesn't go left and right. And I don't bring the seat or the stand. Just the keyboard per say. Most of the time, the venues have their own seats and stands. THAT... Or something makeshift is fine too =3= I'm not a very picky person~
LOL~! All the lazy people~! XD XD
Oh, oh! And I finally got something to dress in! OwO |

Kitalpha Hart AquaticPisces Kitalpha Hart AquaticPisces Kitalpha Hart my band has alto, tenor and barry (baritone) saxes Same with my band. xp
Carrying a barry sax is torture. x_x so least school year, my band class went on a trip to Boston. She school we preformed at had a really nice band room, and when our bass clarinet suddenly stopped working, they got us another one. We go out to the aud and went um, ew. Ours is better. The seats sucked, so did the stands and percussion instruments. The bells were held up by RUBBER BANDS, it was so bad. The timphanis were all different makes, and the snare was bad. It was like their instruments were abused! We still managed to hook 1st in High School class C concert band and High School concert band. Second highest score, beat out by a middle school band. Booyah Also saw Blue Man Group Just reading that made my stomach churn.
RUBBER BANDS! Are you serious? ._."
Way to go first place! I always wanted to see Blue Man Group.
Back when I was in middle school, the school board
hosts a music festival, my school won first place as well, against
some highschool.
Anyway...RUBBER BANDS?! YES, RUBBER-FRIKKIN'-BANDS geez. this year, one of the ropes for the marimba (i think? it's some fancy xylophone) broke, but a kid had one small enough and long enough to replace it. it's doing very well, it's the same style, just camo color instead of white and at my school, while the chairs and stuff aren't the best (standard metal folding chairs), they're not about to fall apart. and we have a wooden snare drum, and everything's top notch. if not, then damn near~ we had to replace the rope that held up the gong as well this year. at one point the temp rope was a bunch of cloth twisted together X'D but we have actual clothesline (heavy-duty) holding it up now, with tons extra for when it frays ou o
LOL at least it`s not a piece of cloth that`s holding it up.
What songs is your band doing this year? |
