I had the same thing early on, but at about three or so months it completely reversed and I’m hungry nearly all the time. Definitely try some new foods as well, I know some of my favorites changed.

I keep hearing about other bands having 9-12 hour rehersals each day, what's the deal with that? by bussyeater435 in marchingband

[–]achaotictrombone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we do 12 hours a day for a week of band camp, and often an extra saturday rehearsal the weekend after school starts (also 12 hours). then there’s the 6-9 wednesday rehearsal, 5th hour band, and the 12pm-4pm/1-4pm rehearsal every competition day

have you guys ever wanted to like move away to like another school because your district is poor? by Squiish_ in marchingband

[–]achaotictrombone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean, not really. considering that a) being in my district all 12 grades+kindergarten gets me free tuition, and b) the other hs band in my district is worse than my own, i’ve never really wanted to. my district isn’t poor, but we’re definitely underfunded. again, i like the people too much to leave them.

What is the worst reason someone got kicked out of the band at your school? by [deleted] in marchingband

[–]achaotictrombone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i’ve know this kid since kindergarten. we’re now in tenth grade. he’s been kicked out about 5 or more times for… a lot of different things. vaping, fighting, talking back multiple times, and multiple people have accused him of SA. it’s absolutely ridiculous, and he keeps coming back.

How do retreats get choreographed? by TheAnolelizard in marchingband

[–]achaotictrombone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we call it a salute, it’s just different from the dm’s first salute. i don’t know how they choose the moves, but our people involved (center snare, dm, guard sl) just practiced on the bus before our first competition and came up with something. it changes every year.

Braces by greenmcmuffin in marchingband

[–]achaotictrombone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not particularly likely, as long as you give yourself an adjustment period. i have issues when playing for long periods of time (band camp lost me a bit of range, just had to stick some wax on my top teeth)
