I just got back from band camp. I'm so exhausted. I was so annoyed because my flutes don't even know how to play all of the notes in the music and 2 of them want to play piccolo. I am the only one on picc. right now and hopefully the only one because stupid R(i'm not putting the full name... just first initials) needs to get a life and stop asking me if she can play piccolo. She sucks. She can't even make it into Wind Ensemble. It seems like anyone can get into wind ensemble if the guidance office feels like putting them in there instead of symphonic were they need to be. 2 flutes in my section are in wind ensemble becuse guidance put them there. 1 of them didnt even try out. No offense to them but they suck. They think they're good cuz they're in WE but they really suck. Anyway, back to band camp... R thinks shes so much better than everyone at everything because shes had 5 years in marching band. Every time I tell her she's in the wrong place, she argues with me even though we both know that I'm right. Once, I just snapped at her and told her to "JUST LISTEN TO ME!!" and she got really pissy with me. At least she got in the line (you could definaltly tell that she was in the wrong place). I also asked K to be quiet. I even asked her nicely by saying " Sorry K___ but I need you to be quiet. The drum majors asked me to make sure all of you are quiet" and she just kept talking to people as if she didn't even hear me (which I know she did because she turned and was listening to me). I also told another K (I have the people in my section that have names that start with K) to be at set and she just said "dont tell me to be at set" even though we obviously had to be at set. I hope they were being like this because they wanted to go home because I really can't deal with people being like this all year. I also have an E who doesn't listen when we are in block. We learned how to march in block but she doens't do any of it when we're on the feild. I think I am just going to have the woodwind captain take over my section for a day and just teach E proper marching technique. That way I definately know that she knows how to march. I can't exactly teach her how to march when we are in the middle of sets because we aren't allowed to talk then and we have to stay on our spots unless someone in our section has a question and even at that, we have to answer quickly. I tell my section good job and I try to be nice so I have no clue why they're so rude to me at times. Like I said, I hope this was just because we were at band camp....
