Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. When our drum majors think they're all high and mighty, when they don't do jack s**t.
2. When sophmores (My school is 10-12) can't STFU when the director is talking.
3. When Jones (director) Makes the drumline play and march the whole show by ourselves while the band just marches, and then do it all over again with the band.
4. The Symphonic Band members putting down the lower concert band members.
5. When Jones yells at percussion to get it right, when he's never picked up a drumstick.
6. When the Sym band members go to concert band on a different instrument.
Definantly going to add more later.

-When one of six members in a pep band shows up an hour late during our first pep band
-When TV crews do so many interviews you don't get to play
-CHASA and there stupid rules
-People who don't take band in the least bit seriousely

i totally agree with you!

It really pisses me off when i sit right up front and I can hear everyone talking about the "huge oboe" it's a ******** bassoon!
THe talking pisses me off so much in pit the trumpets are stupid

1. when the ******** percussionists complain that they're thirsty! the rest of us are using all the air in us just to play these songs and the PERCUSSIONISTS say THEYRE thirsty!

2. when people talk when Puster (bd) is trying to tune us.

3. when people call my clarinet a flute. how in the hell do you confuse a clarinet and a flute?! they are two totally different instruments!

4. when people who arent in band try to tell me how to do my job. i know how to play my ******** instrument and i dont need the musically impared telling me how!

5. when the bass clarinets are talking and laughing while we are all playing through the song. its so irritating because they need to be playing!

6. when the percussionists play softly on their drums while Puster is talking.

7. when Puster gives us our concert music 3 weeks before the concert then we have a bunch of free days.

8. when people think band is easy. they may think its easy but its hard work! if you were to say something like id like to see you try it. they would look at you and be like it would be way to easy for me. please, i doubt their miniscule brains could handle everything that we have to handle as a band member.

9. when people who are in band and have been for several years say they cant read music. if you couldnt read music you wouldnt be able to be in band! you HAVE to read music. you sometimes even have to sight read. the first thing you learn is how to read music but they claim they cant.

10. when people spell REED wrong. they spell it R-E-A-D instead of R-E-E-D. it irritates me so much...
ill definitely be adding more later.

when a person behind me plays REALLY badly, and it makes me look bad.

I think everyone shares the same pet peeves.

idiots: we were outside and it was freezing. this flute guy had his hands in his pockets not playing because "his hands were too cold." I was like get over it and play cause everyone else is playing and our fingers feel like they are going to fall off. then he tried putting some huge thick gloves on and i tell him you can't play open hole flute with those gloves. he says he can. so he stands there and just fingers random notes like he's playing.
lazy people: this girl just sits there during warm ups because i don't know? i guess she thinks shes too good for warm ups and will be magically in tune when we start playing our actual music
nondedicated people: alot of my people just do things half way and don't care about trying to be better
