Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello every one. I don't know If I've posted here before or not. If I havn't then Hello everyone. I love this guild because playing clarinet and drawing are my two passions. And importance in my life goes:
1. Family
2.Friends
3.Clarinet
4. Animals
So yea I play the clarinet (duh?) for my high school band. Our directors are called by Mr.Williams, Mr.Jones, Mrs.G (she was our marching band director) and Mr.Montoya (he's my favorite. ^^) I only see mister jones because he's the one that teaches the band I'm in (there's Freshman, J.V. 1, J.V. 2, Symphonic, and Honers bands) So yea that's alittle random history about me.

my band director totally lost it today.....he picked up a bass drumstick and threw it across the room and cursed.......he was pissed because people keep picking the fuzzy stuff off the end of the stick and now its worthless

i have had my bd blow up at me before and the class..... and it wasnt good. hes always pissed at the class bc they are always talking.... and hes always pissed at me for some wierd reason. i almost never know what it is that i have done wrong.... although there was those few times that i forgot my clarinet when we were in critical crunch mode... which i dont think is a good thing... and then there was that time that my instrument got locked in the band room and i had to show up to the concert without an instrument. that was bad. i failed that concert bc my father took me home because the bd was angry at me for "forget my clarinet!" but hey anyway.... i havent been on in a long while... our computer crashed and we still dont have a new comp.... i was sharing a laptop with my sister and now shes stolen our mothers... its funny.... lets hope this one doesnt crash. lol. we should be getting a new one soon... i hope....
were power crunching now bc our festival is in 3 weeks.

Maaaaaan...I can't count on my fingers and toes how many times Davis had shot his mouth off, this year and last year. Last year, only one of his 15-minute+ long tirades was actually motivational. This year, he got a little bit better (TWO motivational speeches! OMG!) but he talked for far too long both years in any case.

Davisson (AKA Fearless Leader) on the other hand...he rarely loses his cool. And when he does, you'd better run the other direction, 'cuz he's scary eek And Davis wonders why he doesn't command the same respect as Davisson...

and Dr. Raiber is God, so he automatically gets 100% obedience from everyone. The only time I saw him really mad was when he pulled a couple of freshmen aside because they did something really stupid (and potentially illegal) and they were crying, and I, just walking by, wanted to crawl into a corner, assume the fetal position, and cry, too.

And neither Fearless Leader nor God needs to use expletives. Now that is class. 3nodding

me too I have been playing the clarinet for about 5 years now and I am in concert band and MARCHING BAND which rocks!!

I'd have to say it would depend on how you feel about it, and how it's offered. If marching and concert band are part of being in band class (like it is here-marching first semester and concert second) then unless you're really lacking in skills required for both then I wouldn't worry about it. If you have doubts about what's going on in band, have a chat with your director, and listen to his/her advice. Directors don't bite...not usually, anyway. 3nodding

sounds almost like mr. lucus... he doesnt conduct very welll, and he makes these circles and gets everyone offbeat, adn then he yells at us for an insanily long time about it... and then when it take people a minute or so to get their music out and they talk while doing this, he yells at us for 10 to 15 min about us taking more than 15 seconds to get ready... its hella stupid....
