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

@ShadeStar

Yeah, that's marching band. Not concert band. Sorry for bringing the subject up. It was relevant to the previous topic.

We had some I believe, but Ms. Calder always put them away from it.

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.

@ShadeStar

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.

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

@Pickles group

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

@Pickles group

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

group
@Pickles group

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

group
@Pickles group

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

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.

@Pickles group

Ehh, I've tried to learn clarinet. It's hard

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…

That too. But adjusting only goes so far 😂
