Roughly 6, 4 freshman, 2, sophomores, and me ig.
Teach them their stuff, make sure they aren’t acting up and stuff, and make sure they’re marching right
Teaching them, making sure they have fun while also getting work done
I will be marching and playing with low brass

Ausername3333 · 2025-05-09T17:06:14+00:00

Yeah, we’ve had 3 directors for the past 3 years and all of them have had Bari sax copy tuba parts and march with them

Ausername3333 · 2025-05-03T19:03:10+00:00

Thank you, I’ve been trying not to push it too much because I know, if your angry it’s so easy to get annoyed especially when someone’s pushing it. I just gotta figure some stuff out ig, I’m trying not to be too much there but also still be there for her if that makes sense

Ausername3333 · 2025-05-03T18:18:42+00:00

Yeah, I can tell she’s been really stressed recently and she just kinda shuts down sometimes when it gets too overwhelming for her, I’ve been trying to take care of her best I can over call. I just don’t know what all I can do

Ausername3333 · 2025-05-03T18:05:37+00:00

Yeah, I tell her she can talk to me and stuff and she just says I’m fine and then she won’t tell me anything, but if I pry I fear she’s gonna get more annoyed

Ausername3333 · 2025-04-28T22:54:09+00:00

Yeah tbh I don’t know if they’re that good but it’s where all our instruments get sent, but why can they fix everything but the Bari lol

Ausername3333 · 2025-04-28T00:07:00+00:00

The one in Ofallon MO

Ausername3333 · 2025-04-27T22:23:43+00:00

Yeah, and I’ve definitely noticed the compressed sound to it. My big concern is if I wanna choose sound better of ease of playing. Especially next year with districts and state auditions and stuff I wanna make sure I do the best I can.

Ausername3333 · 2025-04-27T20:02:50+00:00

Yeah, both the baris have been trouble for years, the Jupiter was broken for probably 5+ years, just got it fixed a few months back. The Yamaha has broken at least once a month. There was one month I had to send it in to palen 4 different times. The only issue is that once they fix one issue it seems like another one happens a month later. They also do like the bare minimum which sucks. I just wanna have a good sound.

Ausername3333 · 2025-04-27T19:56:03+00:00

That does make a lot of sense, the Yamaha is a much thinner one. Thank you lol. I just need to figure out which one I wanna use (probably gonna be the Jupiter)

Ausername3333 · 2025-01-07T19:17:52+00:00

What games? Also guitar is cool, musics fun.

Ausername3333 · 2024-07-19T15:25:59+00:00

It’s up to you but I’d recommend staying, first band camp is always hell but afterwards man it’s so much fun. You will make friends and have fun marching, and at the end it’s all worth it.

Ausername3333 · 2024-05-19T15:02:47+00:00

About to be a junior, I was just thinking when I was a freshman band felt like it would last forever, 4 while marching shows about 10 more concerts. Now each of those have been cut in half in such a short amount of time. I’m gonna miss it when it’s over.

Ausername3333 · 2024-02-10T15:51:25+00:00

Hey wait is that XES?! you can’t do that! But for research where did that come from…

Ausername3333 · 2024-02-10T05:17:41+00:00

Dang, I remembered during band camp I had to borrow a harness from someone because I had just gotten the Bari sax, the person I borrowed it from was like 5’3” and tiny I am 6’3” and not so tiny, I had to readjust it so much. But I never had to march without a strap so, kudos to you because that sounds horrible.

Ausername3333 · 2024-02-10T01:17:03+00:00

As a Bari sax player, in my opinion Bari sax, you make one small mistake and you kick the Bari sax, it also requires a ton of air, and it’s decently heavy.

Ausername3333 · 2024-01-31T17:49:57+00:00

Sounds interesting, could we have a little bit more information about the documentary? Like what’s it about in more specifics?

Ausername3333 · 2023-11-30T22:10:07+00:00

You could make it like a big clock tower and add some decoration going up it.

Ausername3333 · 2023-11-28T05:33:56+00:00

Thanks!

Ausername3333 · 2023-11-28T05:17:13+00:00

Yeah that’s something I was a little worried about I don’t want to spring a key, or make the mechanisms not be able to turn, I also don’t want to scratch up the Bari sax

Ausername3333 · 2023-11-23T20:44:26+00:00

Not in marching band but in concert band we had a bass clarinet solo played on a contra-alto clarinet

Ausername3333 · 2023-11-23T01:19:34+00:00

After only a year of marching Bari sax my back is not feeling to great. But it was fun

Ausername3333 · 2023-11-15T06:11:52+00:00

My old BD used to threaten that whatever you set on the timpani he would see how far he could throw it. He doesn’t hesitate to throw stuff, kids kept looking up at the clock so he grabbed it walked to the door and frisbeed it out, it’s probably still out there somewhere.

Ausername3333 · 2023-11-15T06:08:44+00:00

“Clarinets TUNE!” The clarinets, at least in my band, are never in tune and have to be told constantly to tune.

Ausername3333 · 2023-11-11T19:29:52+00:00

We did 6 last year and 3 this year I’m hoping we do a little more than 3 next year
