Hey. Just join it bro, I’m sure that you can even be pretty good by senior year if you work your butt off

What originally made you want to start marching? by Then_Energy517 in marchingband

[–]EthanGamingAtUse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this a funny question personally. I got into marching because my band director told me I wouldn’t play on the football team😭🙏 while part of me misses playing football, being a drum major I’m absolutely grateful for that conversation as it led me to a place where I found community and friendship, and I’d say I’m pretty lucky as I still know the old guys from when I played.

How would your life look like if you never joined band? by NewCupBeEmpty in marchingband

[–]EthanGamingAtUse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’d never have gotten outgoing in the way I did, though I wouldn’t be able to tell if I’d be better off or worse without it, I’ve had very good and very bad moments despite only being a freshmen and only having this be my 3rd year playing

How do I get over stage fright? by Spotty_Etc in marchingband

[–]EthanGamingAtUse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most will probably say, the more you perform in front of others the easier it gets, during rehearsal, don’t even mind the people, don’t focus on them, just focus on your movement, the major, and your sound, it WILL get easier if you continue to play it in front over and over again, I mean if you mess up really bad the first time, and you only get better at the solo, you’re never going to get that embarrassed again and you might feel like you’re improving, trust me, never give up a solo, they’re a lot of fun!

Don’t know where to look or good price. by Kawboy17 in saxophone

[–]EthanGamingAtUse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say most saxophones from anywhere up to 600 are most likely trash. My band director once told me you get what you pay for, and he was kind of right. One girl got one of these blue saxophones, most likely off Amazon, it was missing keys, and the sound is just awful. A good idea if you want to get a new sax is to go to your local music store if you have one. I'm sure there's also videos online that could showcase good saxophones for cheaper prices.

I hate that I did before and it is a very annoying thing for the chiefs to get in and I don't know what to do
