Saxes dont have spit valves idiot!

 

I love band. I live in Hendersonville NC and Hendersonville High is very centered around the band. We have about 500 students and 120 are in one of the bands. The Hendersonville High Band has played in the 1996 Atlant Olympics, Carnagie Hall, and somewhere in Boston. This year we are going to The Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Only 3 High Schools where invited. Im so excited to go;. My parents arnt so excited at the price though! We have a Marching band, Jazz Band, Concert band, and Symphonic band.

Im the only Alto Sax in Concert Band so I have to have fun all by my lonsome in my section. Im a Freshman and trying out for solos in Jazz today I just blew the Junior and Senior saxes away. There faces where priceless.

 

Awesome. I'm really sad to say, our band is shrinking, and we are getting SO lazy in marching. We have a horrible director, and she picks the easiest songs to play. In Symphonic band, she is short a horn player, so she makes me read the horn parts...which are incredibly boring. I have to transpose the whole thing, too which SUCKS!

Yeah, some (ok, a lot) of people are losing their work ethic in our band, too, and not trying all that hard, and just partying, and we (Baldwinsville Marching Band) won 11 out of the 12 trophies at the Gator Bowl back in December 2006. Plus, this year's songs and drill are a lot harder than last year, and at one time I was the only Sousaphone for a whole week! (And I'm a rookie!) I'm trying like crazy, and it's unbelievably confusing, but I can still find a lot of fun in it.

Yeah. All I want is to be forced to run half a mile at each practice, and some push-ups. Is that so bad?? It would make all the lazy people get out of marching band. Pretty much the lazy people who don't want to excersise are the ones that make us look like crap...ugh it irritates me. Band is fun though, there are a lot of good times.
