Okay, I'm going into 8th grade, AKA, I'm going into marching band.
So, my mom first lost ym band paper, saying when it was.
I missed the first day....
So, next day (today) in the morning, I was sick as hell....(I got better, luckily)
So, I'm 10 minutes late cause I was sick. I walk into the band room (sneak in) but, since the door was in the front, I got noticed >_< SO I"M LOST< AND HAVE PEOPLE STAIRING AT ME. So as I'm walking tot the back, a girl -kindly- (serously, she was saying it nicly) that perc went to the other room. So I get there. And they already have their drums, and are pratcicing (all but one is younger then me, I'm the only 8th grader, and the 7th grader is popular among them) So after standing around 5-10 minutes, wishing I could break down and SOB (i didn't cry at all!!!!!) the perc instuctor finaly noticed me, and asked what I needed.
"I'm late..." I said ina VERY soft voice, cause I was sick about 20-30minutes earlyer, I'm shaken up some, and I'm just quiter around people who arn't my friends. So, we go to see the other band teacher, they take me to the instroment room, and since there where no more cymbols, I get the BASS DRUM. It's about 1/3 my size! And it's got the metal harness, not the nice type either (to me anyway) So, we go back out, and I start catching on to the pratices pretty fast (I'm good at looking and doing/catching on) And this drum is getting HEAVY....
So, we move on to the song we're doing for a parade, and practice some on our own, then put it together. So while he was working with the snare drums, he looked over and was like
'One minute, I'll be over in a sec, thanks for being patent ^_^'
Anjd DUH, I was moving around some/moving the harness abit, cause dude, it's a heavy drum. SO hearing that just made me feel like a slut....
So, I was having trouble with one part, and it was giving me some trouble. So he was helping, and it felt like all the perc (all 7 that was there, not incuding my self) was calling me slut/whore/b***h in their heads...I did get the notes right, after a bit crying Stupid patern....
So now I feel awful, cause first, i'm the only bass drum of my knolage (they said they didn't have any others)) and like the whoel band thinks I'm a slut and stuff T-T BUt to make t worse, When our old teacher (not band) walked in for cheerleader practice, she was like "Hi haru!" and a bit ;later the other band teacher walked over to me and was talking to me (she's related to me, and it as my first day...) so i also feel like they're calling me a teachers pet...ag, i feel awwwffuullll gonk
Any advise?,
PLEASE ShARE YOUR STORYS BASS DRUMMERS!
(SORRY< I didn't know if this was the right place, but it seemed right... sad Please mve it if it isn't...)
