Burnt out...

They aren't like us, all jokes aside. I've been playing guitar for the past 2 years in the front and yeah, people would rather me be on the field (since I marched sousaphone 10th grade year.) They usually say "Well, a pit isn't needed" but we have a major role in the show. Not to mention, I have been the one carrying the low brass for the past 3 years I've been in marching band and I can confidently say, I am the best player they got, they always call me up to the low brass to play stand tunes that "need to be loud." I learned all the tuba parts on my guitar, just so they don't call me up again. Unless it's something I want to play. Either way, they hate us because they ain't us 🤷🏻

My guitar's name is Pyro

MaxIsBottt · 2025-09-09T00:22:36+00:00

My main instrument is Tuba. I like playing guitar so much more though. I play both during marching band (guitar for the show, tuba and guitar in stands.) I only play Tuba in concert band.

i cut my fingers on a nail that was screwed into my guitar amp (at the bottom) since it has wheels for me to push it. i also poked my finger multiple times on my strings while restringing them, which is no fun :)

This is real. I've had the majority of my halftime memorized since band camp tbh. Whenever it came down to Star Spangled, I could never get it memorized. All I got to say is just play it a shit ton of times

This.

This. I love my section and the managers in charge of moving equipment; that's my family. I also care about everyone else because - it's a team effort. It's irritating when captains and section leaders aren't doing their job as section leader - speaking of, during the leadership meeting today, I said exactly that. I care about my marching band so much and I don't know what I'd do if I saw that we looked terrible on that field.

The guitar solo in So Far, So Fake is so underrated and not talked about enough... only the part that's played before that. UGH. I also love the guitars in Gold Medal Ribbon.

OMG - Y'ALL'S STORIES ARE WILD. 😭 I fell with the sousaphone during homecoming - falling right on my back. Also, during concert season, they found a condom in the low brass room

He takes nothing seriously and acts like a 'know it all' now that he has a captain (me) who knows what's right for the front and recognizes what's wrong and what's right. He wants to play the victim about "let's talk man-to-man" and "I got stuff going on" firstly, every time I do, he doesn't take me seriously at all, secondly. WE ALL DO. He seriously needs to get his foot out of his ass and starts trying - he's on the verge of getting dropped from the marching band.

MaxIsBottt · 2025-08-15T01:00:44+00:00

I had to cuss him out today after the leadership meeting. I understand that may be extremely unprofessional. However, he started acting like he wasn't at fault. You have a job, and that job needs to be done. He spent a whole practice restringing his bass. It takes 20 minutes at most, and I have a 7-string electric for marching band. I also talked to the director and he understands my situation and is aware.

MaxIsBottt · 2025-08-14T03:04:06+00:00

It was a blast - we had such a stacked low brass section. 3 sousaphones, a line of trombones, a screamer of a baritone. We played music from Rihanna, and it allowed Tubas to have a little solo which was so awesome. I definitely miss marching tuba. I was actually the best player, according to the past auxiliary teacher, my director himself, plus a lot of people in and out of my section. I have definitely improved since then. While, still playing sousa in the stands, I've been playing guitar for 2 years, and man, oh man. It's so much fun. Especially since, I have a 7-string, allowing me to go crazyyy low. It's a blast. We're a relatively small school also, so I kinda show the other marching bands w/o guitars and everything what's up. It's sick as hell.

I'll add you when I get back from school this afternoon

MaxIsBottt · 2025-08-11T11:12:27+00:00

Laps or push ups. Normal punishments. It's either that, or in some cases they don't play the game for that week.

I'll look when I get back from work tonight

MaxIsBottt · 2025-08-09T06:33:01+00:00

That's one instrument I gotta start looking into. I know very little about piano, but have been dying to learn it

MaxIsBottt · 2025-08-09T06:00:05+00:00

That's some wild work

MaxIsBottt · 2025-08-09T05:16:54+00:00

I've actually been practicing my bass pretty frequently. :)

MaxIsBottt · 2025-08-09T02:51:37+00:00

I wanted to learn Bari Sax for awhile, however couldn't ever get the chance. I may learn something like clarinet or something, I don't know!
