Yeah...talk about how much you love band here! =)
EDIT// I go to Burnaby North Secondary and I'm a flute player in our Intermediate band. Next year I'll be in Senior and I'll get to go to CUBA! Woot! Our band went to the regionals and got a 95 gold, and went to the nationals and received a silver grade. Yeah. And we also have a half-assed marching band. |

^ Um, because it's a general rule to create a new topic every 500 replies? Mind you, the other topic had well over 500 replies.
Please, don't pretend like you know everything. |

Prejudice against band kids? Aw, that really sucks. At our school no one gives a crap about who you are or what you belong to, as long as you don't annoy them or get on their nerves on purpose. And it's too bad you don't like the teacher, because I find the teacher makes all the difference. In grade 8 I had a crappy novice band director who didn't know how to control the class, oh God, I hated that class. This year the band director who taught at our school prior to the weird novice teacher in ugly sandals for 13 years came back, and he's...like...wow. I love this guy. He's the best, honestly. |

Hmm...I used to be a band geek..I played band from 4th grade till 8th grade..then I decided to quit because I couldn't handle waking up at 7:00 in the morning for Marching Band.
![]() Pieces we learned? Hmm..I would have to say the Coca Cola song was awesome..and La Pantera..and Great Balls of Fire..and the HEY song...and all those band songs that we played whenever there was a pep rally. Haha. :feels geeky: |

wow, i let this topic get away from me
i was talking to a girl on mbp, and she said she thought her band director was going to be our new assistant. we talked about it, and all the facts lned up, so it 99.9% is, which is cool for me that i know someone who had him, but bad for her since she liked him and he's leaving. and william, you high school has a lot of issues. did you ever consider switching? yeah, you might have to move and make new friends, but if you could, it would probably be worth it to avoid all the predudice and cliques |

Oh, what...this is indeed my thread. I am quite the band geek.
I just graduated from high school and I am now starting up college. Guessss what major I have decided to pursue? *grins* Music education, yo. I play clarinet, and not to toot my own horn-- sorry for the pun-- but I'm rather good. I was section leader for two years and was first chair since my sophomore year in high school. I also did the orchestra thing my senior year, and I enjoyed it as well. I loooove marching band, but I really shine in concert band and orchestra. That's where all the music really is, see? ;) |

Actually, I'm the same. I know, I know...it's just, I'm about to go to college as a music major, so I wanted a bit of a break before I had to live on my clarinet for the next five or so years. How long have you played it? |

To be honest, I hated clarinet for the longest time. I appreciate it now, but because I wasn't in love with it the first few years, I learned to also appreciate the other instruments.
...except saxophones. I hate saxophones. |

AWESOME TOPIC!
Name:Joshua Age:15 Status: Student(rank/section leader next year) Grade:Sof. Range:On a good day I can reach to a triple E, but I usually am around triple C Trumpet: Still just a student horn sad.gif I'm getting a Bach Strad before summer band happy.gif Mouthpiece:5C, but I might go 3c School:Georgetown TX Eagles Division: I think we're 5 A...not sure tho I REALLY want to be at least rank leader next year, and I HAVE TO be section leader my senior year. State competitions baby ![]() For those of you who don't know there is: www.Marchingbandplanet.com and www.talesfrombandcamp.com I didn't see them posted, so why not ^_^ My story is I almost quit 7th grade then I was guilted to stay and they said I would rock so I was going to quit 8th grade, definately. NOT, they said I would be the perfect marcher, I was a pure natural, held my horn up, played loud, could walk and play at the same time,ect. So, I decided to check it out. One more year, my freshman year. If I wasn't satisfied, I was gone. I loved it, I got a cool nickname "The Hotness" for being one of the best marchers, topping the freshman easily and beating out some of the upper classmen (top 5 out of about 130). I liked how I had some band friends and I improved my playing faster than ever. It was awesome, and I am now a band geek for it. |

^Exactly! And it's more athletic and fun. Not too mention football games are a total blast. Who doesn't like stand tunes and dancing crazily to drum cadences?

Totally! We always break out random solos during a stand tune, like taking thingsup octaves and stuff. When I was a n00b I just did hey song up an octave at the end. I might actually do a moving solo if I can get my music theory right.

we never talk to the other band
they're usually scared to come see us and are like amazed at our awesome fieldshow and beautiful sound...[lol] well the only band we're social with is Walnut [the other hs in our district] our band is at the end zone...and the visiting band is at the visitor stands so like there isn't much buddy buddy thing going on |

We're nice to all the other bands and feel good to socialize between competitors. Only one band ticks us off, and we aren't necessarily bitter toward them, they are just really conceded/ snobby.
But we coo, we coo. |

Oh my-- I didn't know we were the only ones who danced. We made of dances to everything, even while we were playing. T'was fun, yes.
Hmm, did anybody do the: "Hey band...." "Whaat?" "This is so-in-so, and she's the drum major!" "YAY." We did that everygame and I loved it since I was section leader, which meant I got to introduce somebody too. YAY. Speaking of tuba dances...I have secret aspirations of marching tuba in college. I know I don't look like your stereotypical tuba player, but gosh, they have sooo much fun. Plus, most of the guys who play tuba at the college I'm attending are hot. Hot band guys pwn, yo. |

yeah... i'm kinda new to this...
i play tenor saxaphone and it is flippin' sweet!! (im a sophmore this year!! whoo!) anyway... umm.. I march tenor, in concert i play oboe... i have also tried the clarinet and sorta trombone (lol... trading instruments can be fun!) any way... for last year's marching show we did The Who, including Baba O'Reily, Behind Blue Eyes (not Limp Bizcut, aka sucky version... the good one!!) and The Real Me/ Quadrophenia... um.. in concert we did Into the storm and a bunch of random ones... I'd have to say the the best song i ever did was HIGH WATER MARK: THE THIRD DAY... awesomeness!! so yeah... and at my school we seem to get a lot of crap for being in band.. our football team sucks out loud (www.xanga.com/hanf_is_watching <- the profile picture!) so i think thats a major reason we're so hated... it's like, "ew, band geeks, you're all gay because you don't take naked showers together and loose by 49 points on a weekly basis" it can be kinda harsh, but we basically stick together. oh yeah!! we (me and a friend) made an xanga just for our band and good amount of people have been participating... (the link above... "hanf" is our director) i thinks it's not a bad idea, maybe try it? |

We're still small enough to manage having flutes on the field.
What I meant was that pretty much everyone knows everyone, with less of a cliche group. It's easier when it's smaller. I go to the band room before school and in one lunch, because the other lunch, I only get to see my friend once (and most of my band friends have the other lunch that day -_-). I can't go after school either, to catch the bus, but I would go every chance I get. |

![]() such bittersweet feelings. i can't believe i have only one more left. it was a remarkably dramafree week until last night at the dance. i called it. there were a lot of ups and downs, but last night made it all grand. don't know why; i don't dance of partake in immature drama, but i don't know. but i definitely remember i love band again. there's a lot of problems, and tiresome things, but it's good anyway. i don't know. so many mixed feelings and i'm rambling. so i'll stop. i'd go into specifics, but they wouldn't mean anything to anyone else. but wow. just wow. i don't know what wow is at, but nevermind that |
