-favorite marching music Stained Glass (you got to play Styx? Lucky!)

-favorite band stand music- Trumpet of Castille and Hollow Man (not the movie)

-awards won: region, state marching band, I marched over ten positions my freshman year since the teachers were lame. 2nd chair high school band while in 8th grade. Bets band member two years >.>

-UGLY UNIFORM Encounters: actually, I liked the uniforms- they were cozy ^^

-Parade massacre experiences: I stepped in horse doo

-does your football team suck- all football teams suck O.o


After all that hard work and dedication, I quit because I never actually liked trumpet. I wanted to play French horn :/ Also, I was tired of wasting so much time when the directors kept moving me around in marhcing season. Waste of time-- all because I changed schools and hadn't had time to audition :/ I still play in my spare time =)

-Band camp experiences- Nothing much, just lots of yelling, sunburns, and naturally, you can't do without they "YOU SHOULD BE THERE BY NOW's

-Band director pshyco or not ? Not really. The only think scary about him is that he smiles a lot.

-instrument- Top trumpet in marching band, baby! Second in symponic ;)

-favorite concert/orchestral piece played - The song we're playing for our spring concert: "Imagine" by John Lenon. It's easy, but I love it.

-favorite marching music - Evita, I had the solo :)

-favorite band stand music - Definately that "Goodbye" song. You know the one that goes "Nananana, nananana hey hey hey good bye?" it's that one. Second to that would be our fight song.

-awards won ( Jr. county, States, Region)-None, we suck like that :(

-Jr. county/ States/ region experiences - We went to competition for the first time in a while with our marching band. We didn't place because we suck, but that's okay : ) Got a II at MSBOA, just barely. Hopefully we'll do better this year.

-UGLY UNIFORM Encounters- Black uniforms? Enough said.

-Parade massacre experiences- I've only done two parades and those were homecoming and a christmas one. It was cold and icky I have to do two on April 30th, though. I hate parades.

-does your football team suck- More than you can imagine.

[quote="Charcoal_Eyes"]*walks up timidly* I'm in band. I play the clarinet. I don't like it much though, because my director is a stupidhead, that oh-so-many people think is hot, but he's just a turd. Oh well, playing is fun, but the whole concept of band besides that is unbearable for me.[/quote]
lol that sounds like what people say at my school!

and i found out were playing a tribute to funk next year....playing songs like when a man loves a woman for the ballad... a medly with shake your booty in it...and some ---house song...like brickhouse maybe..i dont remember :wacko:

Our spring concert every year we do a traditional song (which is my favorite band song) two O'clock no composer not even the company ar copy right date it is very jazzy and really fun to play (especially the fact that band director lets us blast in the end) have you ever heard this song or play a traditional song in your spring concert.



(I also blast even though Im a baritone player)
