Well, I'm guessing we can since that's the music our director gave us. If not, we're in trouble (although most of the band has a lot of random music memorized that we can play on the spot) Our practices have been every Thursday for a few weeks, but it interferes with stage crew for the spring musical and there are a few of us in both. Luckily the person in charge of crew lets us go to practice.

-twitch- We...are...being forced....to perform...at a pep rally for a standardized test that everyone hates with a passion as a last ditch attempt for the new principal to get us to show 'That We Cannot Hide That Tiger Pride' -twitch-. The chorus is supposed to sing some song about it to the "Carol of the Bells". Our band director's face was a mixture of horror and disgust when he told us this morning that we're playing tomorrow...I was planning on ditching the rally with a few friends and running over to the coffee place across the street, but I guess that's not gonna happen now...Even the teachers are weirded out by this pep rally....IT'S WEIRD TO BE TRYING TO GET US TO BE CHEERFUL OVER SOMETHING THAT PUSHES OUR STRESS LEVELS TO THE EDGE!

I had a practice during lunch yesterday. My director has decided to give us all his speeches on "don't do this or that" before we go. So about an hour of every rehearsal is wasted on that (but only 8 days left!)

The thread lives! =D
Bah, my band director always has to lecture us about the stupidest of things, because my class just sucks. I can't wait until next year when the people who actually want to be there are in band, and the class is not filled with people just there for the credit ><;

^ TELL ME ABOUT IT! We have roughly 20 band managers and only 8 of them do anything! That and our spring trip was in danger of being cancelled today because we had to move our festival site from Toronto to NYC and 2 people asked if they could ride up separately and stay with family up there and meet us for the compeition. Then 2 turned into 10 and our BD got angry because not only that, but people who said they were going are now dropping like flies. The Executive board met and by an extremely narrow vote, decided to proceed with the trip with whoever's willing to go. It just makes me mad because the only reason they're not going is because it's not Canada. I'd rather be in a 150 member band of dedicated people than in a band of 275 members who are just in it for the credit and the trips.

We just got the news on Friday that next year a jazz band will be formed...too bad I'm graduating this year That's what I really wanted to be in, but at the time we couldn't get approval...oh fate, why must you taunt me? >__< On the bright side, our theme for the banquet this year is Fiesta, so dressing up will be fun ^.^ Plus, I get to sit at the senior table and have free food ;D

Gah, I wish I started playing earlier xD ANYWAYS, one of my band directors came to school today for recruitment. It was fun, and I managed to make some friends say they'll go to the new member meeting =D But, make-up lessons were terrible. I only came because I wanted to miss history, but we couldn't get through this supah-easy music because some idiots just didn't care. GAH, it's so annoying.

^ you guys have recruiters? Interesting... Yes. It is annoying indeed when people don't care about band when they're in it.
