QUOTE(tweeak @ Jun 14 2005, 1:32 PM) why did you quit again?  there's so much predjudice against band kids at the school i'm going to. i just didn't want to deal with it. and i really don't like the teacher either. also, none of my friends were going to continue and i'm going to be swamped with homework from AP and such. i'm doing sports, model UN, and some other stuff too. so i guess i basically just didn't want to deal with it. QUOTE(xsweetxcandyx @ Jun 14 2005, 1:45 PM) see people who quit band hate it no, i miss band at sequoia.. i would HATE it at the school i'm going to. |

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? ;) |

*gasps*
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? |

well, i took mine into be cleaned after the cncert the week before school ended, and still haven't gotten it back, so it wasn't a choice for me. i really need to stay practiced. music will ever get me anywhere in life, so i should at least get to the top band at my school before i graduate
i've been playing for about 5 years, give or take |
