Dear wind players, a.k.a. the rest of the band,
We hate you, too.
Love, Percussion

Dear Chris,
You are a trumpet player and get a lot of major parts, I know. That doesn't mean that the trumpet is the "Heart of the Band". We non-trumpet players are just as important as you. Stop being stereotypical.
-From Me
Dear Cody,
I know you are short and immature, I know you look like a kindergartener and watch pre-school shows. I know. That doesn't mean you can torture us with the random singing of "Elmo's World" in the middle of every class. We are tired of it. No, really, tired of it.
-From Me
Dear Ms. Chappell,
Where is your French Horn love!?! No really! We have lost faith in you. You did "Get to meet the band members!" For everyone else! Why not our little band of awesome people! No really! We need better treatment. We get stuck with the Trumpets who are blabbering all the time at sectionals because you decided to cut down time and put all the "High Brass" together, then you forget us! We lost faith in you.
-From me, French Horn player.

Dear band:
Stop being uncaring and practice. I know it's hard, but you'll feel better afterward.
I know we've all been around Hartmetz way too long to think of band as a class, but think of him as a person, not as a teacher. How would you like it if you asked people to do something and every day they blow it off?
I thought so.
I plan on practicing again as soon as my mouth stops hurting from my THIRD SET OF BRACES. But that's another story.
-Me
Dear band pt 2:
I've decided to get over your social prejudice of helper kids; I'm going to be Hartmetz's teacher assistant next year. God knows he needs it.
Have fun making fun of me if you do, I'll be too busy enjoying myself to hear.
-Me
Dear Ben:
You're confusing. I still like you. I don't know what you think of me. You don't know how many times I've come close to asking you.
At least we normally have each other to keep us sane in psych, although today was stupid since Michael took my desk instead of the open one in the middle of the room that I was forced to take.
Also, it's kind of really weird that you kept talking about my ex-boyfriend and his brother to Jordan...at least, it's awkward on my end. Glad you don't like my ex either.
Maybe that's a good sign? Or maybe I'm reading too much into this.
I'm so glad you're going to be here and helping out for my senior year. I can't imagine a year of band without seeing you at all. I really don't want to go to college band, I'm afraid I'll lose you somewhere in the chaos.
I'm sorry this is weird.
Also pt 2, please try to come with your mom to volunteer events, she talks about you waaay too much and I know more about you than anyone else does and it's kind of creeping me out...
-Me

Dear the rest of the school: The band is better than you.
Dear principal: The band is better than you. We need funding.
Dear Tram (Drum major): I'M GOING TO MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!
To Whom It May Concern (Everyone): I'm better than you. (Yes, I am a trumpet player. How'd you guess?)

Dear Epic Irony,
Just because you are a trumpet does not give you an excuse to feel you're better than everyone.
Being egotistical can be for any section, not just yours.
No section is better than any other, and you're not better than the rest of your band because you seem to like pointing it out while people who are truly 'better' will not feel the need to articulate their 'greatness' all the time.
Love trumpets, though. (:
-Puff

Dear Mr. Band Director,
I thought when you said we were gonna play the bazooka out of the spring concert you meant the whole band, not just Mr. French horn, and Ms. Top Snarist. Why then did you feature them in a song and give them a solo song. Then give us super easy music a grade or two below the EASY stuff we play? I thought you were all about challenging the WHOLE band, not just those two students.
Also, why can't I just have a musical conversation with you anymore? Why are you all about talking to the ditzy giggly idiots that don't even work hard? What happened to the band director all the major band nerds loved so dearly? We feel like band isn't even band anymore.
Love, your 2nd chair clarinetist.

Dear BD,
You really pissed me off today. I don't appreciate the impatience toward us percussionists. I feel it is unnecessary.
Love, me
P.S. You are the reason the band hates us. Just so you know.

This is a wonderful idea!!
Dear all percussion and 2nd/3rd flute,
LEARN TO PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENTS. Please. Maybe if you came to practice to play and not to text and not care, you would know how to play. And stop sassing our BD. FYI- SHE'S MY MOM. I get really, really, pissed and embarrassed when I hear people sass my mom or say bad stuff about her. So stop. You guys are the idiots, so shape up and PLAY. Our school was once well-known for its percussionists, and you are ruining that legacy. I'm a clarinetist with little percussion practice, and I could play percussion better than half of you. And 2nd/3rd flutes, All the 1st flutes are LEAVING next year, so you better learn to PLAY. PLEASE.
Your fellow bandmember,
Grace

Dear Brittany and Savannah,
I feel kinda bad about making section leader over you guys, and i know you both really wanted it bad, but i've been trying for two years now, and this was your first year. I know you both well enough to know that you guys will not let who made section leader change whether or not you listen to them, and whether or not you work hard. Besides, i will need both of you to help me out next year. We are going to have a big section for the first time in a while, and it will be almost all underclassmen. I will need help keeping them all in line.
-Rini
Dear Manny,
I don't caare if we are friends: I will not go easy on you next year. and i expect you to work your hardest and to actually listen to me. You tell me you won't listen to me. If you don't, i will punish you. I am not going to play favorites. Next year you are going to work much harder. the whole section will. I will notbe like miranda and pretend to care and tell you you suck and then go on with life. I will help you, and i am not afriad to hold sectionals unlike her. You will learn how to play your instrument if i die trying.

Dear Mr. Otsap (BD) and current Drumline,
I know you need more serious players in the drumline who actually go to practice ALL THE TIME. Well, here I am. I will do my best to keep up with you guys. I understand that there will be two or three other flutes next year, but I have not forgotten about them and will help them with THEIR music. Next year, it will be my duty as a senior to help the freshman. I hope you all will help me with my transition from flute to percussion. (Now lets also hope my tiny frame can carry a bass drum!)
Thanks again, Your flautist,
Tiny
Dear Stoners (saxes and low brass minus "tuba boy")
COME TO PRACTICE GAWDDAMMIT!!!!
Your flautist,
Tiny
Dear Drum Major,
I know you're of that nationality but STOP PLAYING BOLERO! I'd rather listen to Pomp and Circumstance at the moment.
Your flautist,
Tiny

Dear Jasmine (Yes, you.),
Show up tomorrow. Show the rest of the trumpets to actually be responsible. You must show up as one of the THREE trumpet players that ACTUALLY showed up last time.
From,
Emily, French Horn Player, Third Chair

Dear Percussion,
Even though we might say we like you, you're extremely loud that when the lead players are trying to solo, their solos overlap and we can't hear when the other person stops or when the other person begins. So FYI the baris are out to get you
Love
All saxes who feel the same way.
