Yeah. He almost didn't go to Florida too. If we had won the last game we played, the state game was the day we got back. He couldn't have gone to Florida and played in the game.
I'm just. Ugh.
For reference, the dude's not a bad guy. He's actually one of the nicer jocks. I just hate that the band directors picked him to be a drum major.
Emi you are going to be THE FUCKING BEST drum major. I’m trying out for clarinet section leader if I catch my grades up >:3
idk it depends on how I learn tempos and stuff
i might ask Emma and she if she can help me, or maybe get to know Chloe a little better so she can help me out, too
I like both of them a lot, though, if it were someone from the Junior year that i didn’t like I wouldn’t have considered and talked to my parents about doing it
anywho that’s marching band stuff
Yeah, that's marching band. Not concert band. Sorry for bringing the subject up. It was relevant to the previous topic.
Lol it’s ok, it’s band, band will be band.
Band will be band indeed
band is band and band is band
See we have a large portion of the band that just stick with it to go on the Florida trip down to Disney. Literally.
hey us too

We had some I believe, but Ms. Calder always put them away from it.
a lot of people don’t really like our band director but she’s alright
just crazy lol
And no one stays away from Florida because of Calder. Literally no one idk what you’re saying, Kylee.
I mean we don't even go on band trips anymore… Our band director is 27 with a receding hair line. He looks like he's in his mid forties. It's real bad.
I mean we're not going to turn people away from Florida. It's the only band trip AND they have to pay the 950 themselves or fundraise the money.
Are you a C Major scale? Because you look all natural.
Nice
hah
I have to play the A flat scale for a playing test in both octaves
very epicly fun time
I can play it now but I’ll be practicing over the break lol
Ooooh, if you can get all the notes in tune, I'd work on getting it all about the same dynamic. If it's for a grade or to determine your chair or something. Because most people skip over dynamics when they do this stuff I forget all the time
a flat is the best
Hey, A flat isn't that bad Yes it is I'm just trying to be encouraging
I'm stupid, I missed the for a playing test part lol
woah thanks for the advice! Yes it is for chair positions and I want to get out of last chair and make myself feel better before I go for drum major in the summer
also hot tip from a lazy btch who's section doesn't know how to be in tune
it's easier to go from d flat to e flat if you leave the fingers on your right hand down. Also helps it be more in tune
Also tip from my band director: You'll get a better grade if you take it at the tempo you can play it well at instead of fast and messy. Don't do it cold, warm up first (duh), and you got this my dude. you're amazing
I'm really sorry if I sound rude or condescending or anything I'm just bad at advice
0o0
wh
wH????
The d to e flat thing?
oh wait i do that lmao nvm
Rip my jaw. Every time I play a high note and because my reed is extra THICC it’s hard to get some notes out. F. Flutes still have it worse though… holy god.
Ehh, I've tried to learn clarinet. It's hard
meh not much harder
we just have to tighten our embrasure

Oh sweetie. Try C with 3 octaves. A flat is not that bad. Need any alternate fingerings? All this is coming from a high school junior who really doesn't have much of a life…
^^^^
Or adjust that headpiece
That too. But adjusting only goes so far 😂
