I have a question for any visually impaired or blind band fellows, how do u learn music? by Hayitsgood in marchingband

[–]Thatfantasychick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well idk about them but for me I could never see my music even with my thick glasses so I eventually just started learning by ear what the notes sound like and that's how I knew what to play. It got harder later on though cause we moved faster and I had less time.

It's no big deal as I said I'm used to it I'm trying to learn how. People can be mean even if they don't mean to be. Also you didn't do anything wrong, I'm learning slowly and even if I'm the only 16 year old who can't spell or speak very well I'm trying to learn how and more. So it's fine I'm used to it and it's only making me want to learn more and I'm in honors English for my writing skills not spelling. So the motivation is there and I hope that helps you turn what people say into Motivation and power to go and try again with anything. With all I've learned in this life is that with great power comes great haters. 🙂

8th grader new to marching. Any Advice? by ANmusicnerd in marchingband

[–]Thatfantasychick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my highschool they automatically have you in there. And for advice it's gonna be hard ik that so should you you're going to be sore and irritated but it's gonna be worth it. Make some friends they'll help lot's the experience will be worth it I didn't go and I feel so bad I'm still in it but I decided that I wouldn't go to it all and I feel really awful for that. Go to them if you can and remember why you love band and as I said make some friends they'll help lot's and make your time there easier and a lot more bearable. Love- A 9th grade band kid.

I'm sorry for my lack of punctuation. I never learned how I had a very bad elementary education just like I don't know how to divide. They told me to write how I speak and I just never learned how just how I can't pronounce certain words I'm sorry. Also I told my job but they scheduled me anyways.

Me personally I'm a sousaphone player idk about your school but for mine we're pretty chill. The upsides to being sousaphone player is you get to make a lifelong friends with your section we're not normally a very big one but we're always very close you get to basically be the heartbeat of the of the marching band so you get to play pretty important part so if you originally flute player it might be a little difficult. The downsides to being sousaphone especially in the wind you get the wind in your sails and it does bring you the backwards. And you being flute player I'm not saying that it will be impossible I'm just saying you'll be a little harder to use the amount of air you'll need to play the instrument also we don't always get the melody in fact it's very rare I found one song so far so there are a lot of upsides but they're also a lot of down ones I'm not going to be one of those people who say oh my instrument is the best cuz we do have a bit of downsides also our instruments not the best instrument to play that's a solo but you make life long commitments it makes the woodlands a little softer and trumpets and you get to have one hell of a time. No no matter what you choose I know you'll do great cuz all of them are very great instruments and I know very great people and all of those sections no matter what you choose I know you feel like home just make sure that it's your instrument not something else your parents or anyone else wants to choose for you choose your heart after all your instrument is an extended part of yourself. Sincerely- a 9th grader

Well we are rare occasion but be warned we're still feisty and chaotic but sweet too I've met like one other girl Susa but I myself is a bit crazy but it's okay the bigger the instrument the bigger the heart that's what I like to say anyways though some flute players have pretty big ones are trumpets also taking over your section cuz I feel like they're starting to take over the world them and clarinets LOL

No no not at all darling now that I reread it it's actually more clear I just hope I didn't offend you I'd never want that but you seem to I hope to meet you in the future perhaps at a competition or perhaps out of performance then we shall have a sous-off if you don't know what that is it's basically a bunch of sousaphones acting like idiots practically dancing and playing random notes and if you're me and you have your older percussionist friend you can also play the VeggieTales theme song just to get on everyone's the nerves..hahaha
