Default Band Started!

HORRAAYYYYY!!

BOOOO!!!!

Yeah. Marching Band practice has officially begun, and we are so going to kick ass(and get our asses kicked). Not much has changed this year, 'cept everything is shinier since we went to State Finals and made 5th last year. Marching Practice is still long and painful, but there are hopes our football team might actually win a game or two this year. Being an upper classman is so much easier because we know what to do. Oh, and our performance piece kicks ass(copy and paste into browser). That's only the first part, which mostly belongs to the percussion and pit, but it's still pretty cool.

So, yeah. Anyone else starting Marching Band?

I did for two years playing the trombone. We were very good last year. I enjoyed it kind of...but it takes so much time it's retarded. Practice starts for us like two weeks after school ends. Last year it went from June to early January. So, I'm not doing it this year. And probably not next year.

And about 80% of Marching Band is practice.

I used to be in marching band (and just regular band as well).

Then I realized it was undeniably retarded.

So I quit.

Now I laugh at the poor souls who have to go to marching practice twice a day for 4 hours each session every week day until the summer is over. Then they get to do it during school.

Yeah, my high school is kind of crazy about marching band.

I'm glad I got out when I did, or else I probably wouldn't be here to post this, heh.

I used to be in marching band (mellophone player), my alma mater band this year has kids from 6th grade through 12th. I think its a great experience, and I dislike that my college doesnt have one. And for those who think its retarded, "you cant handle it" explains it. It takes an insane amount of discipline and commitment. Outside of that, its a great time.

Handling it is not an issue. "You can't handle it" is an idiotic way of explaining why people quit. There is nothing hard about marching band. I did it for two years. And don't think I sucked at it. I was one of his best marchers and one of the best players in the band (coming from my own directior's mouth). It just takes up so much time and is so retarded there's no sense in doing it.

oh you bet. mellophone is awesome. And marching band takes up no more time than any other sport in high school... most sports have a training week over the summer equivelant to band camp, and then practice every day after school for 2-3 hours... much like marching band. Then, games (in marching bands case, competitions) are on the weekends. Thats how it was in my school anyway. No less work... the only difference is instead of memorizing and running plays, you memorize and run drills.

I agree with fusi0n. It takes up way too much time to bother with. Did you read my last post all the way through?

Oh, and same with any other extracurricular activity.

Screw those. I'd rather play video games.

What, like being in Band doesn't let you meet other people who play video games?

I used to play trumpet, and wanted to continue because these people told me "Colleges accept B students who play an instrument over an A student that doesn't." That may be the case, but now that I am getting a horse I won't have time to play...well...any sports, or be in band and have other kinds of commitments because i'll be spending all of my time out at the farm. Horses take a lot of work =|
