DazzlingCherry12 Andy1989 A girl flute fainted in band camp...Then they gave us water breaks...but for band camp only. I hate goign outside when it's really hot...But the sun is rising slower everyday...So it will soon be dark when we're marching. OOO...marching in the dark? That's something i haven't tried. I've swam in the dark before, like the pitch inky blackness of night, but that's about it. I think that if I marched in the dark, I would trip over a pothole and my clarinet would go flying and it would break. crying No no, but I would definitely trip, at least once. Or fall into the person in front of me. biggrin They turn on the lights...But its still not really bright...At least it won't be hot! whee And today we were rotating a square and we had to move backward and my asst. section leader's shoe fell off and she fell backwards. It was pretty funny but no one dared laugh at her since she can control our band lives. eek

But we could laugh because my last year's band teacher could let you get away with anything. Seriously it was so annoying. He was okay at concert band but marching band was a total mess. Undisciplined, unorganized, and unified. We were horrible, and yet we still got first place. eek Beats me how we did it. But we were definitely a mess.

We also usually perform close to last in local competitions, so it's dark then, too.

~What do you call a bass clarinetist with half a brain?
Gifted. I've seen all of those, the first from a link in this guild and the other two on a poster in our band room. Here's another from the poster: Why do clarinetists leave their cases on their dashboards? So they can park in the handicapped zones.

That's, like, how late my swim practice goes, hence why I said I've swam at night before. But's its not all bad cause we have really bright lights that pierce the water so we can see and won't run into any walls or anything. I so wish we had a marching band now. sad I miss competing! We used to always go last too. It would be soooooo hot (cause the parade starts in the early morning), and we would be marching in our stifling tuxedos! Yes, I did say tuxedos. Even the girls have to wear the cummerbuns (sp?) and bowties and they were like a clinging, blue hell! With, might I add, our white dress shirts and black long pants. We seriously looked like dying penguins, which seemed to impress the judges cause we got first.

YOU GUYS LOOK SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your uniforms are so formal and actually look like a real marching band. In middle school, we marched in bowties, cumberbuns (sp?), and long black pants. We looked like marching stuffed penguins carrying instruments and drums. Seriously. We looked so bad. This year no marching band. crying I'm so sad! No feathery hats! crying

Rebecca_Lupin hello my fellow clarinetheads (as my band director Mr. S. likes to call us) Clarinetheads? Hmm...it seems every director has a different name each section. I forgot what Mr. C called clarinets cause he doesn't do it often, but he calls the trumpets trumpet misters. Its always kinda funny when he does that, cause you almost always know he's gonna talk to them about their posture. biggrin

He could burn cd's but he can't change a screensaver. we called him electronically chalenged.
