We have one. We gave up District Festival because she spent half the time underteaching us.
So every week we have playing tests for chair placement. But the thing was we never got results until the middle of the week. What's the point? We never learned our full parts because we changed practically every 2 days. She always works on theory and some people, don't get me wrong, they need theory. We all do. But we also needed to work on festival which she pretty much didn't do. No one can hear her talk. She yells when we don't listen.
Our school is one of the better bands in the state, and I can't believe her. I still love band but I don't think anyone should teach us but our BDs.
