Welcome to Gaia! ::

OMG there are so many things I hate about band. First of all I really hate my teacher. He is such a retard. Always blaming me when the clarinets aren't doing good. I'm not even the leader person thing. And I hate the geeks who always annoy me about their band problems. And ONLY their band problems. Don't they have anything else to complain about?


What do you hate most about band?

I hate how after class if you walk by the brass sections its like a lake theres spit everywhere its so gross. I also hate how it consumes most of your free time, I can understand during marching season, but during concert band I work at home to make sure I know my parts. Why should I have to stay after school for sectionals just because other people cant take the time to learn their own part?

There are only two things I don't like about band

1. The few people (about 2 or 3) who make me feel like I'm not good enough for them, not in terms of playing but like I'm not cool or something (how juvenile) and

2. That I'm not playing everyday.....why oh why didn't I go to study music at uni?!

I know how that feels. I'm in a cadet band, so we have stricter rules, but there's this one trumpet player who just does NOT shut up, and doesn't listen to his superiors either! We play in a cold room cuz the heaters a broken, and we were sitting at room ( basically you can't move, talk, or nothin else...) and he was figetting and talking. He was told by one of our band instructors to stop, and he said he was putting his mouthpiece back in his trumpet. when the instructor asked why, he said cuz it was cold, so he put his mouthpiece in his pocket. the instructor got so fed up with him cuz he kept doing it, that he sent the trumpeter to our Captain.

i live a good distance from my school so i have to get up at 5 to be out the door by 6 so I can make the 7 am band rehearsals. It's so annoying

for some reason our teachers decided to combine both jazz and symphonic band and use two rooms the band room ((used to be the library)) and the sevie choir and the orchestra room..of course us non-jazzies are forced into the mini which is only like double the main directers office....while the jazz gets the whole freaking library sized band room with about fifteen people..and us with about forty.

i hate the drama of band... =__=

it's usually the clinet section though... [no offense to clarinetist]

that's just how it is in our band. and it sucks when people are mad each other in our band. it's so tiny in the first place... ><

we only have about 38... percussion included...

My band director is like the coolest person ever, but he can get mad really easily if it's a serious rehearsal (like one right before a concert). So I hate when he starts yelling at someone for 10 minutes. He made this trumpet player guy in my band cry last year, it was really sad.

I have band 6th period (the last period) and at the end of class a hundred sixth graders come in to get their instruments (I'm in middle school). Not only do they interrupt our playing time, but then when you're packing up they get in your way SO much, then act like it's your fault.

I also suck at playing by myself. If ANYONE else, anyone else at all, is playing with me, I'm fine. But if it's just me in front of the whole class, I do awfully. The other day we had a playing quiz and I did the worst I have ever done on the part we had to play and I got an 83. And it was especially annoying because the things my BD was telling me I had to fix were things I normally did flawlessly.

Band rant over.
