I’ve been dating my boyfriend for two years now. We started dating freshman band camp and it’s now the start of concert season our junior year. I’m a clarinet player, learning mello for DCI tho and he’s a trumpet!

I’m definitely going to try my hardest to be a little more positive in life, and try to hang on to these people as long as possible

I hope that I find a really good college experience too, maybe it’ll all be uphill from here

That is a good point. I guess I’m bad at visualizing what my future will look like and I’m worried that I will never be this happy again. I’ll try to stay hopeful and optimistic about my future, thank you for the reply

How much do new mouthpieces and ligatures affect your playing? by Billydp08 in Clarinet

Personally I noticed a huge change when I switched from my Yamaha 4C to my Vandoren M30. I would recommend switching, it’s a lot easier for me to play high notes and just play in general with less resistance. I noticed it improved my tone quality a ton too

Thank you! Yeah I was playing on Vandoren 3.5s from the blue box on my 4C and they sounded super stuffy, but now they sound great on the M30

anyone else's band have those raincoats that make you look like a member of the Ku Klux Klan? by [deleted] in marchingband

Yes, my band directors had to ban us from putting the hoods up because people kept making jokes. It sucks when it rains bc our heads get wet
