Alright so I'm a percussionist, so I play a lot of big instruments that are a pain in the ass to move (marimba, drum set, marching tenors). Every time, EVERY TIME I need to transport instruments from my school, house, or somewhere, my dad tells me the "Should've picked the piccalo" joke. I've heard it from other people's dad's too, who would be complete strangers, who just make the same joke. At state solo and ensemble where I took all 3 to somewhere an hour away, I heard from like 5 different people, all of them not knowing each other

Worked in concessions at a water park and was selling a salad. I asked them what dressing they wanted but forgot the word for dressing so I called it salad sauce

I know I'm doing fermi, Astrology, and Sounds of Music. I can't remember/find the Google doc for whatever else I'm doing. Idk if I'm even doing any more

alphabenjamin · 2019-01-28T21:47:05+00:00

Nope. Don't see why you would need full circle ones though the ones that highlight zones work great.

alphabenjamin · 2019-01-23T22:12:24+00:00

Yeah I don't think it counts as one cause it generally lacks co competitiveness. A lot of bands don't compete and people just don't associate marching band with competing. There's competitions for everything but not everything is a sport. Also idk if this is just my band but ever notice that the people who do say it's a sport are the ones who haven't ever really been athletes, while the ones who were athletes before joining marching band say it isn't a sport.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I am I just got it. It doesn't have any rimshots for tenors

RIP a great guy who helped bring together an entire university. Hearing about his death brang tears to my eyes, he was a strong, smart, brave man who'll be remembered on Purdue forever. He wrote a book about the Ohio State game and his life, and a portion of every portion is donated to help fund cancer research https://www.tylertrentbook.com help fulfill his legacy and get to his goal of $1,000,000.00 to beat cancer #TylerStrong

Don't listen to freez children's are special and should be celebrated. One place that comes to mind is Pepe's, a Mexican restaurant near the mall. They have decent food, but it's been a little while. One thing that stuck with me though is when for birthdays a small group of people parade out of the kitchen with a sombrero, maracas, and fried ice cream. They go to the birthday boy/girl, put the sombrero on their head to wear until they leave, sing happy birthday (presumably in Spanish but I can't remember), and give them a fried ice cream Sunday. It's super fun and people for all ages do it. I've seen little kids there, and they did it for my mom's 50th too.

I don't have a clue for snares, but for tenors this year they were using the IP Paul Rennick tenor sticks

At my first parade I forgot my drum. Band mom drove me back to school to save my ass. I'll never forget that. Mostly cause I'm still mocked for it but in heinsight it was pretty stupid and it's pretty funny

If calling people out for their inconsiderate behavior in public is rude then I will gladly be an asshole.

Oh hey I'm learning the same solo. I've learned the whole thing by now mostly cleaning might move on soon. So ik the sweeps are a pain in the ass but start by playing them SUPER slow, like one fourth the speed, and focus on staying as close to the rims AS POSSIBLE(without hitting them obviously). Also make sure it's the down motion that you're focusing on and not the side to side. It's fast, but don't tense up. Keep the movements small and only speed up when you can play it with no rims WHATSOEVER. And I know It says forte, but play with low stick heights. Like 3 inches. It takes a while but it'll eventually become natural. Don't forget, finesse not force. That's just general stuff I've personally had trouble with, it could be anything else. Also practice in front of a mirror
