We're playing this for our show this year and we just had band camp this week and learned the drill+playing for all of mvmt 1. Which isn't bad considering half of our new members are brand new marchers in 7th grade. I've been doing this since my 7th grade year and this is my last year, I'm going to be a senior and graduate. I'm sad but also happy, like I'll have free time over summer, but I won't be with my friends and better my musical education with them.

We’re learning this for my marching show this year. I hope you’re doing well (even though I don’t know you lol). This is my 3rd year in marching band and I like this show a lot already.

@@edits11814 that was my 5th year cause 2020 we didnt have a season, and i cannot express how ass that shit was

[@edits11814]

@@Crazyclay78YT gosh it was that bad? But I’m glad my band is doing this because our old band director didn’t care at all and gave us trash stuff. At least this is a bit better and we have a new band director ig 🤷‍♀️.

@@edits11814 the music was fine, it really was just the drill and the director/player dynamic. it was mostly a few things throughout the final year that made me hate it. they hired the percussion guy to write the drill and there were several mistakes and he wasnt really there so they would teach us the mistake and then he'd be like "nope wrong do it again" (when he did show up every 2-3 practices) until he figured out he screwed up, cause no one cold tell him otherwise he would explode.
(damn my bad i didnt realize how much i wrote at first)
mf plays drums and was trying to tell me how to hold my trombone on my left when i cant hole my trombone like that, cause i had to squeeze the trigger to hold it like that, it made my thumb tired really fast, and then i wouldnt be able to play well cause my thumb would be dying, since my trombone is not a "regular" trombone, its an F attachment trombone. i had no choice but to argue, and then one of the other band directors agreed with me (since it was my 5th year of marching band, he agreed i knew what was best for me). and he knows something happened with me and the director that he replaced at his new school, we were at a parade in chicago and the old director was trying to tell me to cross my arms with my trombone in our "parade rest" position but then i demonstrated the flaw in his logic and he was like "no, ive been doing this for double the length of time youve been alive, i know what im doing" and i said "i dont care how long youve been doing it, this is still dumb as hell" and then he conceded and we could just hold it straight up in front of us like every single other band.
basically every high school music teacher got replaced in the span of 2 years, my freshman year teacher got moved to the middle school because the choir teacher left the first year after covid started and no one would do her dumbass assignments. and then we got my amazing teacher now at my school. then the auburn teacher got a DUI and illegal transportation of alcohol, so then the guy that stuck up for me to the drum guy got moved from his old school to teach at auburn. then they had to replace his old spot at the highschool so they hired someone new, and now my middle school band teacher retired and now only one or two band teachers in the district have had over 4 years in the same school.
