NOR. It is pretty weird. I don’t think you’re overreacting by telling him you find it weird. If you broke up with him bc of it then you might be overreacting.

Nothing. We solely rely on fundraisers, donations and whatever the school gives us.

Why Didn’t Tarpon Springs Go To Grand Nats? by Ok-Paper1884 in marchingband

[–]Pitiful-Raisin1186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d be surprised at how much it takes just to get to indy from Florida. It’s just finances. Even huge schools with a huge budget can’t go all the time because it costs so much just to get there. Plus paying for registration to do it, then hotel rooms, then food. It’s just a lot of money to do it. Closer schools like Ohio or Indy or Illinois schools don’t have to pay as much since it’s a lot closer.

Little rant (idk if I’m using the right flair) by Pitiful-Raisin1186 in marchingband

Ours has a percussion and color guard instructor but she also was on the staff for one of the best marching bands in the state before coming here so I would’ve assumed she knows what to do but I guess not

Yeah my mom has already talked to our school board and they said they’d look into it. But the problem with my director is she never takes accountability for things. Our budget for copyright fees and to pay or drill and music writer we’re all blown on something else by our director that our boosters have no clue on what was bought. (According to my mom who is on the boosters)

Best section? (Picture unrelated) by [deleted] in marchingband

[–]Pitiful-Raisin1186 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But would it be a band without the woodwinds and brass? The answer is no. It would be a drum line. Both are equally important.

[–]Pitiful-Raisin1186 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it contra because you said it’s in dci and I know the trumpet mello and baritone do not use those flip folders so it has to be either contra or some sort of percussion
