Marching Band Life
Since I am terrible at thinking of topics to post about I'm just going to gloat about how proud I am of our High School's football team but sorely disappointed in the Marching Band. I'm actually a clarinet player in our band, but I've very abruptly come to the realization that we have gone down hill pretty quickly. Since our band director allowed 7th graders to join marching band we now have a lot of newbies to train, but some of them are untrainable. At our first home game she also insisted that we march while playing, which we hadn't done yet on the field except for practice, so naturally it was a disaster. Luckily, the football team's major win distracted everyone from our epic fail. I'm actually very proud of our 35-0 win from Crawford County High School, a school that was known for its very long losing streak.

I can't believe 7th graders could handle marching band (or what I know of it) in any world. I salute you for even trying. We (Central High School) lost our game last Friday to Howard HS by a point, so congrats to you!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I was in middle school and the beginning of High school I actually was in the band, not marching band, but I actually played the clarinet too for years! I can't believe they allowed 7th graders in! Very young to be doing that!
ReplyDeleteOh wow that's awful, i would hate if my high school let middle schoolers in the marching band. I was in band all throughout middle and high school and I LOVED IT! Marching band in high school was my favorite part of high school, and i still miss it to this very day. I played trumpet and it was the best decision i ever made. The people in my section were awesome, and I recently went my high school football game this past Friday and it was soo much fun, I miss it! I love having people just shout out my name because they saw me, and then going over there and talking and catching up. Anyways I miss it lots.
ReplyDeleteI seriously agree that some of these new kids are unteachable, but we can't give up on them, you know? We were that age once, and we were just as immature as they are when we were their age. Even though we both doubt Ms.G's decisions, she's been in this a lot longer than we have. I'm sure by next year all of them are going to have improved since the first week of band camp.
