does your section feel left out?

[Hatako Nara]

ok, when you share a part with another section (like horns share with trumpets ect), do you not get called on to play? my section is like the one that always gets left out because, i dont know, are mellophones like a back burner instrument or somethin? it kinda angrifys me.....  

[wispsofdarkness]

Haha I know how you feel but in my section we think of it as Yaay! we dont have to play!!  

[yellow lilly]

think of it this way, "the squeaky wheel gets the oil" the director doesn't call you guys out to play because other people need it more. wink

Um... my section feels left out of this guild. Like seriously... There's a bass clarinet topic but no BASSOON topic? crying

But anyways, it's hard to ignore our section in band this year, because there are so many of us. But we still somehow get lumped with the low brass (same goes for the bass clarinets and saxophones sometimes.)

The bassoon reads bass clef and doubles low brass parts!!!
We should have a part in this guild!!!

I agree! Im always getting left out in class because our low woodwind section is composed of 2 people : me and the contra bass clarinet crying
Bassoons need love too xp

Alto clarinet stinks for that. They are used for hardly anything. Partly because they squeak a lot and bass clarinet is more fun. What really bothers is that contrabass isn't used more. Maybe those wimpy soprano clarinets feel threatened?  

[Danny Cheltyka]

Well, considering I am part of the only three baritones in our marching band this year, yeah I feel pretty left out.
