Dear whoever stuck the pushpin through the picture on the board:
b*****d. What justifiable reason do you have for ruining someone's face in a picture? You may hate him for no real reason other than he's a freak but that doesn't mean you can go around and mess up stuff that everyone else sees!
Unless that was H, putting it on the board and 'oops I put it through Ben's face...maybe nobody'll notice ninja ' because he would do that by accident lol.
I know he's strange but that's not entirely his fault. And I'm sure whoever you are, you don't hate -me- for being strange too? After all, he and I are a lot alike sometimes...
-Me
Dear Ben:
I'm sorry I'm so incapable of talking to you recently. It seems to get worse when I can't stop thinking about you for no reason at all.
...thanks to you though, I've found that when I'm uncomfortable I tend to avoid eye contact at all costs. I hope to fix that, if only with you.
And I'm sorry people are morons who hate you for no reason. They really shouldn't. You're an amazing person, underneath the awkward giant shell and sarcastic-pessimism filling.
I hope we're both in jazz band this year because I have the feeling it'll get better that way...so good luck tomorrow on your audition. At least H prepared something for yours XD
-Me
EDIT:
PS: I really hope you don't think I'm a b***h because I've been kind of snappy at you for the past few days. It's unintentional. And...today was because I was kind of trying to get my audition piece at least figured out before H got to me, although it was moreso because Andrew had just been pissing me off, not because you were playing on my vibes and in the way. But that was part of it.
...does the whack mean that you read what I said on facebook and knew it was me? lol you're so confusing. But I'm one to talk...

Dear wolfgrll2:
If he only does drums, he's not a percussionist.
I'm a percussionist, and all-told I can play about 20 instruments. They're just classified as percussion. One group, dozens of actual instruments.
...and no single instrument is better than another, it's the players. And I don't think you can compare player vs. player unless you both play the same instrument.
Glad you like the thread!

Dear Schwartz:
Your class is going to kill me. Honors does not mean we understand everything and that you can ignore what we have to say and put us down.
Although I agree that some sports teams are fails, that doesn't mean you should interrupt your own lesson to put Kevin down for the fact that he likes the Redskins.
I see what you're doing, though...trying to prepare us for terrible college professors and the like. And I am going to have an A this quarter if it kills me. I'm not going to let some hardass moron like you make my English grade suffer just because I'm used to teachers whose classes are so easy I didn't even have to do their homework.
Technically, I don't even have to do your homework since you rarely check it unless it's part of a project. At least, that's ohw it was in first quarter.
Just because you run the yearbook and the newspaper doesn't mean you're awesome.
If I survive your class, I won't come back to visit because you're a good teacher but a hard-to-deal-with person.
It would be nice if I could catch up in your class; it's not my fault I got sick and then the next week or so had a field trip.
Your assignments drive me crazy because I'm basically obsessing over whether it's good enough since you don't collect them often enough for me to know how you work yet. And your quizzes are just no. I can't remember EVERY plot detail first thing in the morning, especially when I came to school with a fever that one day.
Once again: I am going to pass your class, I just hope it doesn't kill me in the process. Kids on my team are jealous that I don't have Rinder until I tell them who I DO have and then they're like 'Oh, ouch.'
At least after your class I have Titan Time where I can take a break from psycho teachers. Except for tomorrow when I go from English to Titan Time to take your test that I missed last week. So I guess my schedule tomorrow is English presentation, English test, Chem project due, and APUSH quiz.
Nice to know my teachers don't want us overloaded with work.
Thanks.

Dear Manny,
Thank you for being the one person in our section that doesn't blame me for everything, and who actually listens. I'm glad I have you as a friend. Band is my family, the kids in our section are my siblings, but soemtimes I feel as if nobody is my family, like i am on my own. But you are alwaysthere. You are always open and there to talk to. I just wantd to say thank you.
Your sis,
Mira

Dear Giorgio Tavecchio, Get up here and let me touch your butt. --me (kind of an inside joke in our section...yay for being right behind the football players in the stands, haha) Dear cameramen/security people, MOOOOOOOOOOVE FFS. Especially when you are right in front on the tunnel, out of which the band is going to be running through very shortly and if a bass drum knocks you over it's your own fault, and especially when you are RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKING BOX FORMATION I MEAN HOW DID YOU EVEN GET IN THERE TO BEGIN WITH --me

Dear Shinyuu:
I told you there's nothing to be worried about! H isn't that scary, and I'd personally be pushing everyone out of the way to get to the band room to find out about jazz band, not running away like you did. XD
I still don't know how me and Gianina got you back to the BR like that...
Good news: You get to be an aux percussionist and/or piano/vibes backup. I'll try to remember to let you play some songs since I'm not Mr. All-about-me Ryan...and I'd like to play aux on at least one song to give both of us a change of pace. Hope H doesn't mind lol. Feel free to ask me anything, hon. I'll try my best to explain it so you understand...I know your English isn't the best sometimes.
-Me
Dear Hartmetz:
Next year for jazz band, since Puerto Rico will be over and done, can we PLEASE go back to normal jazz? Latin is nice and all but I'm dying for some big band sound and unfortunately our biggest and best trumpets are SENIORS RIGHT NOW so we won't be as strong next year.
Unless some more of the sophomores/freshmen/juniors join. And they'd better. Low brass + sax powered jazz band is not the same as our current powerhouse.
And I really hope you don't have to play bass again, that was completely ridiculous. And you looked ridiculous too.

Dear Amy,
Why are you so goddamn depressing and gloomy? You've practically ruined my first year of marching band with your constant complaining and pushing me around in the section. I've tried to be nice, but honestly, it's not worth it anymore. You said that you were the "army brat" because you dad was in the marines or whatever and you moved around a lot and stuff like that, but you actually did act like a brat on more than one occasion. Because of you, I am leaving the section. And you don't even know it was because of your negativity and crummy attitude. So in the revised words of Eric Cartman, "Screw you guys, I'm going over to flags."

Dear Miranda:
Apologizing won't help how much I don't like you. I'm tired of being nice. I've tried being nice, and what have I gotten from it? Nothing good, thats for sure. Maybe you should think about what you are saying before you say it, and then listen when you do. What do you mean you never told me I didn't practice?! Manny heard you. i heard you. You said to my face, "You don't practice. You need to practice." and then esterday during rehearsal "Maybe you should have practiced, and memorized it." I didn't memorize We Will Rock You because we have had it for two days. Yeah, i can definantly memorize a whole song in tro days. Did you memorize it? No. Did anyone else memorize it? If they did, they are freaks of nature and need a life. And don't go on telling me you were being sarcastic. That was not sarcasm. I know sarcasm. Telling me I am a better player then you does not help anything. At all. If you came across your role model in the street, would you tell them they don't practice? I would hope not! So why is someone being better then you an excuse to be rude to them?
But, I do appreciate you finally admitting I'm better then you. And concert season should be interesting, with me and you battling for first chair.
Mira
(That whole last part she said. She commented about how apaarently I'm better then her because I got a higher chai r in egionals last year after having the worst audition of my life, and then she said it would be me and her battling for first chair.)

Dear Thaddeus:
I know this doesn't help and won't until I tell you myself, but...
I really shouldn't act that way around you during marching band, I'm sorry. After being basically thrown into the position of section leader last year and finding myself in the same boat of no-leadership this year just made me snap...a lot.
And trust me, if I really didn't care, I wouldn't yell at you guys all the time. I only want what's best for us ...and what's best for us is doing what we're supposed to so Hartmetz doesn't destroy us all. Which means no DS, PSP, or GBA during practice next year.
You're an awesome kid with great ideas and good musicality, but your mallet technique is terrible. Didn't Mrs. Philip teach you anything when you were jazz vibes at Seneca?
You are a good leader (sometimes), I'll give you that. You're also unfocused and easily distracted. If you would put even a quarter of your creative energy that you put into breaking the rules into our practices, we could have gotten percussion superior so much sooner.
I hope we can get along next season and maybe there'll be less section tension and we can all be friends like EVERY OTHER SECTION in the band.

Dear BD:
Okay, I do not understand at all. At the begining of concert season, you told us, us being the whole clarinet section, that you would be mixing up all of our parts, so we wouldn't have the same parts over and over again. Okay, yeah, good idea, I like it.
However, you said all of our parts. Not just the lower parts. Is first part not qualified under all anymore? Then how come Miranda keeps getting first parts. Yeah, we don't mind playing second or third. Yeah, we need strong players on the lower parts. But come on! We would like to have first part occasionally. If we play three songs for each of the two concerts, then we can all play first once, since there are five of us and one on first. This won't work if Miranda keeps getting first. We all agree that she should not be getting first part all the time. At least two of us can play first, though I'm not sure if the freshman could handle a part alone(they could barely handle with us sophomores next to them)
Please switch up the parts,
Mira

Dear Richard,
Please stop grabbing my butt. Oh, and making up songs about my boobs. Just because you can beat a drum doesn't mean squat. You don't even have good timing. Go jump off a cliff.
P.S. Just because you're 'tight' with my ex doesn't mean you get to text me all the time for peoples numbers. I don't hang out with them anymore. It's still a sore subject, can you let it rest?

Dear Hartmetz:
I distinctly remember going with Kantorski into the guitar room to work on all-district stuff and between playing we could hear Sonus Ventorum and Firebrand. You said nothing to us after class, gave us nothing to put in the folders. If we have indeed lost all those originals, the blame is on you. I'll gladly come in and re-write them myself, but I won't forgive you for it.
Also, those damned blue books are NOT our fault. Nobody (not even E2) knows what happened to them. They were there, then gone for a week--not like we use them anyway, we all know our scales in E1 and you never played the etudes that have mallet parts even when we had the books--and when you asked for them they had vanished off the face of the band room. Ensemble 2 is blaming us for losing them because they're tired of having us blame them. We didn't actually lose them.
I'm sorry we're the only section that can't keep it together because we have so many untrained idiots in E2 who don't respect instruments or music at all who don't know that they shouldn't leave things on the floor or their music everywhere or don't know that leaving things uncovered is the PERFECT way to get non-percs to touch our stuff and have you yell at them.
I know it'll never get any better since Mrs. Philip doesn't teach percussion very well. All I can hope for is the percussion class that you keep telling us you should have implemented.
Lord knows we need it, considering the size of E2's percussion and how few of us there are in E1, comparatively.
-Me
PS: The only reason I tolerate you sometimes is because I know you're not a mean person, you're just trying to be funny or trying to get your point across. That, and somehow your sense of humor is just like my dad's and if I can tolerate his stupidity for sixteen years I can certainly tolerate yours for about an hour and a half every other day (excluding MB season).

Dear Anuja,
What the frack do you mean your better than me? Who told you that it was okay to disrepect our section by telling her that you already know this and therefore dont need to rehearse and then tell me that I'm playing the thing worng. I mean just who are you. The little nobody who keeps sucking up to the band director. Well guess what I am going to be section leader not you and everyone else in the band feels the same way. So stop acting like you know everything and get your head in the game! I'll see your a** at section leader tryouts and then you'll see just how good I am.
PHBT!
-Sam (aka your stupid idiot who cant get anything right)

Dear BD:
What was with that look you gave me in class the other day when I asked for allstate etudes? It was pretty rude. If you don't think i can make allstate, tell it to my face, not give me a look that I may or may not see. Besides that, you should be supportive to your students. At least that was how it worked last time I checked. I don't really care whether you think I can do it or not, I just want you to have the guts to tell it to my face. I won't listent to you, but it won't piss me off like giving me looks does.
Also, it would be nice if you would control our section a bit when it comes to who gets what part. I don't care how, but I really don't find it fair that I am the only who has not even sightread a first part, and I am also the only one who has all of one part, even worse, all my parts are third. If it were older students getting higher parts, it wouldn't be that bad, but all the freshman are getting first and seconds. I am a sophomore and I keep getting thirds. How is this fair? They are not better then me. The proof of that is in our regioanls scores. Last time I checked, I was the highest clarient at our school. 10th chair. The only one remotely close to me was my sl, and she was a whole 6 chairs below me. And yet you are giving me the idea that these guys are better then me. I know you want strong people on lower parts, but this is the highest band. We are all strong players. there is no way youcan avoid having a strong player on every part when we are alls trong players.
