Marching Band
« on: August 24, 2011, 03:31:32 PM »
I've joined my school marching band. Out band is in the top 10 of the country right now, and it has changed me a bit. I have become more strict, open, humorous, smarter, and overall more organized.

The whole band has section leaders for every section, and leaders in general for every line. I right now am a little bit in charge of the bass line, and i have changed. I point out mistakes that people made, and correct them. I make sure me, the band, and everyone are nice and organized. I feel like i can be a SeC/City Administrator in HL2rp right now... but of course i do not meet the requirements in the application :(.

Anyways, i just wanted to let you guys know why my time has been up my ass, and maybe how i might change in the future.

What instrument do you play? I play the French Horn, but I can also play the Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone, and Cello. I'm dropping Cell for Double Bass and I'm going to be picking up the electric bass as well if I can next year.

Marching bands are great.. I was thinking of joining Cadets for the Marching Band, because if you go to their marching band camp for a month or whatever, it actually counts as working and you can get paid up to 1000 bucks, no shitting. Decided not to because I fucking hate marching and all the other shit that comes with cadets, lol. So I play in an orchestra.

Well I was only in band for a year and I played the French Horn and trumpet.

Some of my friends are in the marching band, and it's hard as fuck. Practice every day in the heat marching, sounds good.

Percussion is awesome.  Hope you have fun with the band.

:EDIT: I just realized how long ago this was posted, and decided to ask; hows it going so far?
