Who is Puffer Fish Vice Captain

Dear previously mentioned trumpet player:
You make no sense.
You ignore me for ages and then ever since Smash Bros. you've been talking to me again...and throwing things at my face again.
By the way, throwing quarters at me claiming it's cause you had no pockets is not a good way to get my attention. I just keep the coins. lol.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I'm starting to get the idea that you like me too.
Stop being an idiot and just do something to prove it one way or the other, please. I think there's a reason that I haven't been able to get past you for the past three years, and that I just happened to end up in your psych class. But I could be wrong, but I DON'T KNOW IT OR NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE AWKWARD.
...also, you look really weird when you don't wear your glasses. Granted, you don't look unattractive, just...you're one of those people who looks better with than without, if that makes sense.
-Me
PS: If you want to know if something's playable or not, you can ask me. I don't need to ask Tucker everything because he's section leader, I do know how to play the instruments too. I tried to tell you that the part is playable but noooo you INSISTED I ask Tucker. Which makes me look like an idiot who can't tell if something will work or not. Are you seriously trying to make me a fool or are you just being a non-percussionist who thinks that because someone doesn't normally play the part, they don't know how to play ANY parts for it? :l

Matt:
I know you mean well. You're just trying to help get everything going for next year when we basically start low brass over. I understand that. But, we're going to have veterans. It's not like It's going to be us, Brandon, and a shitload of freshmen, ok? One freshman is coming up. And he's good. You know that.
And no, you will not be a section leader next year. We've already been told, myself and Brandon will be the section leaders.
No, we don't have to have sectionals every Wednesday and Sunday. No, we don't have do have daily sectionals over fall break.
No, I don't care what instrument you march next year. You can play trombone if you want to. You can play baritone if you want. You can play tuba if you want. No, it doesn't matter what I'm playing. Maybe I don't even want you in my section next year, when Brandon and I start over, and make low brass the next mellophone section.
Oh, hey. Calling Kendall a quitter isn't cool. I don't care if you don't like her. Her brother is literally right there. (He's 2 feet taller than you, and can play higher than the ringing in your ears from pumping it full of shitty death metal all the time. Maybe that's why you never seems to pay attention.) Kendall quit because people like you gave her s**t for being a cheerleader. Maybe if you were nicer we'd have another xylophone player this year, since you're more concerned about pit than low brass.
Oh, and stop talking so much during practice. I understand asking Judith questions. But flirting with Regan and Jenna isn't productive.
No, don't talk to me after practice about how you wish everyone would get focused. You're trying to get into other people's pants, and failing miserably.
When we're reading Mr. Brown's blog, and commenting on it beside each other in Computer Apps, don't say exactly what I say and submit it right after me. Mr. Brown doesn't allow your comments, remember? That's why.
No, you don't know Ryan. Or Chris. Stop talking about how the section would be with them in it. Yes, they're great players. But you've never been in a marching or concert band with them.
No, you can't play the valve trombone. Or the Paris Selmer. No, it's tone isn't much better than yours. Your tone is horrible, remember?
Besides, getting out a trombone isn't going to help JP much, is it? Why are you helping him anyway? You need to work on your music too. I'm supposed to help him, because I'm a 1st trombone. That's our job. We know our music, and your music.
Oh. Right. Morgan's taken. We're clearly in a relationship. That whole
"I love you," long hugs, sitting together, talking to each other a lot, holding hands... those are telltale signs. Trying to rekindle your 2-week relationship with her when you were in 7th grade isn't going to work. You tried to have sex with her. That's why she's not comfortable around you, and that's why she pulls close to me whenever you're around. That's not an invitation to hug both of us. I don't like when you hug me.
And put your God damn phone up at practice.

Dear Charlie,
I'm glad you're around to help us out this year, but you really suck. Your "grid" that you painted on our field that was supposed to help us screwed us over. I honestly can't believe it! You say, "Don't look DOWN, look AROUND you!" But why would you paint something like that on the field at the START of year? Don't you realize that freshmen can't do that? They need guidance. Which reminds me. When band camp first started, you automatically went into hard and complicated exercises when the freshmen haven't even learned how to march yet! Do you think we teach them during July rehearsals or something? Do you think they go to a seperate camp? Because they sure as hell didn't! God, and I hate how you just stand and watch us, and when you see someone ******** up, you EXPLODE! You throw your hands up in the air, point at them, and make them feel like crap. I would know, you did it to me last year during my sophomore year. It SUCKS to be pointed out by YOU.
---
Dear d**k-face,
Our section's really good when you're not around. Saxes are actually almost the best section during rehearsal when you're gone. I honestly don't understand why you even bothered joining when you can't take it seriously. And yeah, I know you're friends with the section leader- so am I. I hate how you think you should get special treatment. When she says "set" you're set, and when her horn's up, YOUR horn's up. How hard is that? You've been in this for 3 years now, and you still don't get it. And I hate how when we're learning drill and we go through a set, and you're near me, you smack my head with your drill sheets multiple times. It's not funny. It messes me up, and we just end up having to do it AGAIN. The hell is your problem anyways?!
---
Dear Matthew,
You annoy me SO much. Ever since July rehearsals when we did section introductions. You're a brown-noser, you talk to Mr. d**k-face, and I just don't like you. During freshmen kidnapping, you took your shirt off. I felt like my eyes burned and melted off. You took it off again at one rehearsal, and I swear, I've never heard so many people tell you to put your goddamn shirt back on. When will you not understand?! And who the hell wears tight-a** shirts like YOU? Yeah, I get you're in wrestling, but do the rest of us a favor and CHANGE your shirt. No one needs to see a stomach that hangs above your pant-line. No offense of course, but still. You're not even that.. plump? But yet it's SO obvious with what you wear, it's disturbing. What, are you trying to flaunt your fatty grossness?
---
Yeah, those were pretty harsh, but I feel damn good. biggrin

Dear Mr. Kinney,
You are very funny, but something worries me. You don't teach us music. You expect us to already know it. "OK band, lets play through 'Whitney Charleslee'." "But Mr. Kinney? We don't even have sheet music for that! It's 5 pages long!" Then you just sit there and give ME the silent treatment. Did I miss out on anything? NO! I've been at band every day! EVERYDAY. So let's fix this. "But, Mr. Kinney, we don't have the sheet music for that. And, it's 5 pages long!" "Oh yes Vanessa, I guess we don't." *Walks to closet* "Take one pass it down class." THATS THE THING YOU SHOULD'VE DONE! YOU MAKE ME SO ANGRY! "T-Thank you Mr. Kinney" -_-
Whatever,
Vanessa

Dear band:
I feel the same way H does about this. It's not that hard to save some time to practice. I mean, really? Spend twenty after you do your homework practicing. For me, that twenty planned minutes turns into an hour because I keep finding things I need to fix. And I keep going unless I get pissed off or make myself stop.
Although I don't quite agree with H on the 'cancelling Puerto Rico' aspect of it, I still think he's right. If we're going to suck, we shouldn't suck in other countries too...like Heritage and Australia. :l
If you don't want him to yell at us, then practice. If you want to play fun music like Star Wars and NOT SUCK AT IT; PRACTICE. God.
Just because we have an hour and a half in class does not mean that counts as practice. 'cause H tends to work with specific sections every time. If the perc. relied on that, we'd suck even more. I'm the only one who can play the triplets when Roy isn't there. And gee, I wonder why?
I also wonder why Phil and DD are the only trumpets who know how to tune and have good tone that doesn't blast/blat or is really wimpy/nasal.
...I'm not saying some of you bad-sounding people don't practice, I'm just saying that you must not be doing it right.
Thaddeus, I don't care if you think you're right. You're not always right. You may think you're with everyone but really you're just FWOOOOOM nine thousand beats ahead of all of us. Especially at the crazy change at 33; the tempo does not change and the rhythm is similar. Just don't ******** speed up and we won't have a goddamned problem.
Also, pit: If you guys would practice over the summer like I asked you to...I wouldn't have to tell you to do things as umch now. You would know when the creshendos and decreshendos come and you would know the tempos to a tee and never miss a note. But now we've got six people who ******** up all the time, Thaddeus, and two who have never played percussion before this season. And one of the six is a guitarist so he has no excuse for failing.
Going to go practice now (LIKE ALL OF YOU FAGGOTS SHOULD, pardon my terminology) before I strangle my computer.
-Mary

*double post*
Dear Ben:
You suck. Go stick your head in Jake's baritone or Kyle's trombone while they're blasting. Or both. Or under the snare drums or something. You have no idea how much mental stress I've caused myself and all you give me is an indecisive answer.
I hate you so much...but I still like you. If you don't want to talk to me anymore just because I asked you to Homecoming, that's a personal problem. Because that shouldn't cause a problem. Craig asked me to Homecoming (granted, I said no) but we still talk and it's getting less awkward.
So, yeah. ******** you. If I see you at the dance next week, I am going to be angry because you told me you didn't know if you were going or not. And if you're there without saying anything to me about this, then I'm taking it as a 'no I don't like you gtfo' and then I will certainly be mad.

Dear Miranda:
You were mere moments away from getting your head ripped off and what was left of your neck bruised and broken. I'm serious. You were smart to send 1st parts into another room to practice, because you would not have lasted long if you hadn't stayed with the second parts I hate your guts. I think we are all getting annoyed of your selfish, unreasonable attitude. You are our section leader, and we are forced to respect you, but that doesn't mean we can't hate. I think the whole sectiona grees with me.
You cannot make us look bad like you did today. You made us look like idiotic morons just so you wouldn't get yelled at. You are a terrible section leader. What Mr. may said today proves it. He told you this today. And then you lie to make us look bad. You never told us to come in at lunch for sectionals. How can it be considered not showing up ifit was never really there? We never had a sectional planned, therefore of course we didn't show up. I have a huge feeling you didn't show up to this apparent sectional either. You saying you keep telling us to come in and us not showing up is the most selfish, rude lie i have ever heard. You made us look bad because you are a bad section leader.
And then you have the nerve to tell me I don't practice! Why in the world would I carry a clarinet case around all day if I was going to go home and stare at it?! Obviously, I am practicing. What made things worse was you didn't know it either! So now your a hypocrite. Not much different then usual, but that is besides the case. You are just mad because you were called a bad sction leader by the band director in front of all the woodwinds. Don't deny the truth. A good section leader doesn't tell someone they don't practice. Do you follow me around after school? I would hope not, and i'm sure you don't How do you know if i practice or not? It is not your right to tell em what I do and don't do outside of band rehearsal. event hen you don't have power over me completely.
Yes, you got section leader and I didn't, but you don't have to rub it in! What happened to you being a nice person? When I first learned you had gotten section leader, I though it would be nice. You had been bnice to me during student staff workshops, and you had always talked to me and joked around with me at games. Now, you act like you hate me.
And if you really don't want to be in band, quit. nobody is stopping you. I don't care if all your friends are band kids, and you have no other friends(I don't believe you. You lieing todday just made me trust you less) If you don't want to be in band, don't be in band. You bring us all down, and I am tired of your negativity at rehearsals.
-I thought we were friends, Mira.

Dear clarinet section,
Stop being so obviously jealous of me. Yeah, I play clarinet, and bass clarinet, and sax, and yeeeeeah I get accepted into honor bands and all-state and you don't, and yeeeeeeeah I get good scores at Solo&Ensemble. But you know what? That's not reason to be mad at me, because it's not MY fault you guys don't work as hard as I do to get what I have. I deserve it. Sorry.
-Justice
Dear Mr. M,
I can't believe you slept with someone in the band and then resigned from the school. I hate you for that. You were such an awesome guy and a good director and you really helped me learn music theory. I can't believe you did this in the middle of marching season, when we needed you the most, just a year after we lost our last director. I want you to know that every since you left, we've had a different "new" director every week. At first I thought this band program would really go downhill after this, but we're starting to stay strong and do what we have to do. We want you to know that we don't need you, or anyone else, to continue being the Pride-filled band that we've always been. We're a family whether or not we have a parent.
-Justice

Dear people of the band who absolutely CANNOT shut up,
I love you guys and all, but, we need more discipline. So, shut your mouths when the BD is on the podium, when we stop and everything, and the band will be great.
Thanks,
Rena

Dear Morgan,
You've done a great job this season. You're playing out, you're marching very well. You're doing way better than I thought you would last year. I'm really, really proud of you, and I look forward to being the other sophomore section leader (of course, you'll be the only one in your section, but still) and sophomore rep with you next year. And, hopefully what people have been saying will be true, that we'll be captain and assisstant captain our senior year. I hope we will be, I love working with you. I love you.
Love,
Lewis

More annyed letters from me.
Dear school District(again>.>:
hy in the name of god would you try to fit 80 people on a single school bus for a 2 hour trip?! That is ridiculous. We have had two buses for years and years now, and yet you say we are lying about needing that many. Just wow. And does it really take an hour to get another bus to us?
And don't think your little thoughts don't reach the students. We care about our band. band is our life. We know our school is towards the top fo the list of schools that might lose their music programs. If you cut our band, you will have 80 people, and their parents, with pitchforks, torches, and guns, coming to your houses and burning them int he middle of the night. Then when you run out scremaing with your pants on fire, you will be shot eighty times, in the head,, and then stabbed by multiple instruments as well as pummeled with tubas and any other large objects we can find. AND I AM NOT JOKING.
Sincerely,
Mira
PS: I would like to see you try. Well, not really, but it would be uber fun twisted

this one came up at rehearsal tonight.
Dear clarinet freshman(because you are the only other clarinets):
Why do you only look to Brittany? I'm just as good as her. In fact, I was a higher chair then her last year and as much as I hate to say it, I was better then her. I know how to play all the notes. I can figure otu the rythms pretty easy. Why do you always go to her when I am standing right next to you. It isn't like she is already section leader. I planned on being section leader way before anyone else did. I have been through the workshops, the auditions. I know how to help you. She doesn't. as much as you think she is, she isn't always right. I have proof of that. I'm not saying I'm always right, but it would be nice if you showed me a little repsect. I'm not an idiot. I'm not a new player. I have been playing longer then any of you. Yet you question what I do, when it is you who is wrong. And then when you don't blieve me, you go to Brittany. so now she is ruler?
I know you guys need soemone to look up to, because we all know our section elader isn't one to be repsected. But both of us are compeltely capable of helping you. I don't mind at all, for it isn't my decision, if you ask Brittany how to play a note. I just don't like it when you are standing next to me and then go to her a few players away. I don't ask to be treated like a queen. I just want to be treated like I can be used. You guys don't know what band means to me. None of you udnerstand the passion I have for band, for our band. You don't understand that it is all I have. My family doesn't support me being in band. They never come to any performance. i was lucky my mom came to one game sinc I started band, and that was last friday. That was the first time any of my family had seen me march. I am a sophomore. They choose my sister over me. I can barely pay my band fees, becaus I have no way of earing my own money, and my parents will not give me any. You complain about not getting lunch, or breakfast. I don't complain. I can go two days without anything but light snacks and water. If I didn't car for band, if i didn't want to be part of something, I would have given up when everyone treated me like crap last year. Band is all I have. band is my family. I would rather spend my time with ll of you then with my own family. I have come home many times wishing I could go back. I would like to be treated like I belong. I don't want to be treated like a kid who doesn't know what I'm doing, because I do. that is all i ask for. Respect. That isn't much.
Your section sister,
Mira
