… I went to my high school specifically for the marching band tbh. Turned out to be an amazing decision and I don’t regret a thing

#36430

im still in contact with like, exactly 3 people i went to school with?

#36431

None of the three high schools i attended had a football team or a marching band
The only experience i had with marching band before this past fall was with my junior high who sort of did an understudy thing to the local HS marching band

But i did do jrotc at my third high school
So i guess i knew a lot of the marching mechanics already
but i def had to spend a long time learning their way of doing things here at band camp

#36435

it wasn’t infrequent

i only had to go like, twice?

#36436

but yeah i might be done with music entirely
im too trash to make the jazz band and marching band was too much of a time commitment that hurt my academic performance
and i dont own a clarinet and they don’t have those available for rent here, so symphony orchestra isn’t really a possibility
and im not really interested in anything else
i might have been interested in choir if my vocal skills weren’t so trash, but alas

Alright who wants to start a band

#36441

I’m pretty sure if I auditioned for an acapella group they would laugh me out of the room

#36442

i got kicked from band because my instrument kept breaking
i still can’t figure out how the fuck a mouthpiece breaks
it worked just fine when you blew into it but if you put it in, zero air went into the instrument and so it didn’t make any noise

#36443

this is essentially what they did to me every time

#36444

not fun

#36445

ive never really tried to sing because i don’t think im capable of it

with that said

if i could sing “ayaya” in an acapella group i could maybe pull it off

… did you try blowing air into the instrument without the mouthpiece?

#36447

good mouthpieces are expensive
i spent $175 each on a concert mouthpiece and a jazz mouthpiece

#36448

…no actually
