QUOTE(crazeegirl411 @ May 3 2005, 9:01 PM) Yay...finally, someone posted. I'm going to try for section leader. Well...I don't really have anymore to say to that, except I hope I can be section leader..haha. Well, one of our drum majors had to move, and one's a senior, leaving only a junior. I guess that means a lot of people are trying for drum major, so many that I don't even know. Some of the people that want to try for drum major are kind of terrifying though. As in they don't seem like the type to be a good drum major. I don't know... good luck! im not bothering, because i think i would be one of their last choices. seriously. QUOTE(FoOd @ May 3 2005, 11:17 PM) We still dont have a guard instructor.... ::cries in corner:: But I heard it was a guy that was going to be our instructor....  we dont currently. but we will as soon as we hire a new one QUOTE(barelyy_coherent @ May 3 2005, 11:22 PM) FESTIVAL TOMORROW!!!! I'm excited. =) good luck  (hey, im giving gigi flowers!) |

yes, but my point was that it was not a permenant state of not having a guard instructor. some schools never have one

And you can step out saying that you at least tried. i thought about it, but no, seriously, i have no leadership qualities at all. if it werent band and the BDs werent painfully aware of this, i wouldve gone for the hell of it, but there is really no point |

WOOT! how cool! degeneres, you mean? i finally found a roommate for band camp. whee yesterday i walked in and the BDs asked why i wasnt registered for band next year. i knew id registered for the class, so i assumed they meant marching, even though the forms werent due till the next day, so i said "err i havent found a roommate yet..." (since you write those down on the intention forms). but they meant the class. but i really have no earthly idea why i wasnt registered for it because they definitely signed my form...i dont know. so i stood there confused and they said they put me in anyway, so its a good thing i wasnt actually trying to quit

QUOTE(tweeak @ May 6 2005, 5:47 PM) we have one. it always amuses me to see bands smaller than us with more, because they really just dont need them Really...because we have three. One is needed in the back, because sometimes, we don't face the audience. We have three sections (or pieces) of the show, so each drum major takes their turn in the middle...therefore, they are the ones to lead. It's so the pressure gets divided...because each drum major needs to practice more on the part where they lead. |

It's so the pressure gets divided...because each drum major needs to practice more on the part where they lead. lthis past year, all our back marching was only for a short amount of time, so we didnt need anyone back field, and then the year before we turned around a lot, but only once was it for a long enough period that someone had to conduct. they just got a sax player to run over and do it, then run back in to join the band, but she wasnt a drummajor or anything, so she recieved no actual credit, just conducted when we needed her. our last drum major- who will be it again this year- is amazing though. she won our entire second competition, in which we got 6th |
