Your Life

[Guest chapana gold]

I'm a trumpet. We're the smart, dumb, jack, loud, and proudasses of the band.

At least we can back it up...unlike our clarinets...>_>

trumpet 2 we kick ass

[Kal]

You know you're a trumpet band nerd when...

...You make it a pre-show routine to sing Weird Al's "The Saga Begins" before every football game.

...You re-write the chorus and first verse of said song to sing about STDs.

...You manage to get the whole bus to sing along.

...You manage to get the whole bus to sing "Albequerque."

...Twice.

...You try to get every semi you pass along the way to honk.

...They do.

...So do a lot of the other cars (we counted 46 honks on a one-hour trip).

...You place bets to see how many pieces of chewing gum the lead trumpet can cram in his mouth.

...You bet 21.

...You lose the bet by sixteen pieces (do the math)

...You start talking to him and making him laugh in the middle of the 31st wad of gum.

...You manage to get him to talk back. ("Mah nahm sth Sthuuiy Chwivn" = priceless).

...You understood every word he said.

...You start swaying side-to-side during the trumpet solos.

...On and off the field. (Director was NOT happy about that one.)

...various battlecries of "EIGHT VEE-AY!" and "MAS KAHONEZ!" and "FORTISIBALLSIMO!" come from your section (and possibly you).

...You manage to outdance the color guard AND drill team during the stand cadences (but you get beat by the tubas...dem fat guys in our bass line can DANCE!)

...You put a lot more attention on band banquet than your senior prom.

...You permanently scar at least one freshman/junior higher/sixth grader by locking them in the tuba case. (Not me, but my section was a part of it.)

...You duct-tape a freshman percussionist to the wall (who happens to be your best friends' little brother...she never found out. >_>)

..."Trashketball" has nothing to do with tossing paper into the trash and everything to do with kicking the can around a practice room.

...God alone knows how many casualties there have been in said practice room due to flying trash cans, foil balls, and beach balls wrapped in duct tape.

...Bouncy ball wars. With over a hundred bouncy balls. In one practice room.

...You manage to put out the halogen lights and break a ceiling tile in said practice room activities.

...LAN party at the band hall? Easy, climb through the ceiling tiles, over the wall, and down the other side.

Etc, etc, etc.

I used to play trombone, and that rocks because if you don't like the guy in front of you, you could just push the slide out all the way....

half of them pertain to me

HAH! Trumpets, Trombones.....

You all need to make way for the WOODWINDS!!!!*Holds Clarinet up in the air then realizes she's the only woodwind so far*

........Yeah.....

>.>

>.>;;

.......Go Woodwinds......

[Kal]

Woodwinds are...a toss-up at my school. We have some really outstanding ones (including several All-State clarinets and saxes)...and then we have most of them. We try to ignore them, and it's easy to do since they're all really quiet.

Oh, and that list is from personal experiences. God, I'm gonna miss band...and the "joy" of luggin the B.A.P (big-ass piano) around, taking fifteen minutes to set up and it pack away, forgetting to turn up the volume for my piano solo...and football games! Let us not forget football games and stand tunes!

...On that note. Zoot Suit Riot is the greatest stand tune ever written. Everybody loves it, and all trumpets and low brass memorize it ASAP. When you're head-bopping and swinging while trying not to hit the guy in front of you (also bopping and swinging) and playing your instrument at the same time (correctly or upside down)...that's just amazing.

[Guest chapana gold]

i still got about 5 more years in marching band and school band

[Inuyasha]

Me just finished Freshman year, so I've still got some time in there.

Our woodwinds are...mostly OK. They play well, but nothing too special. We've only got one All-State clarinet and...that's a bout it, really. I think we've got a trombone that made it to Wind Ensemble Region Band, but not too many of our players actually make too many special things, other than ones on Class I Solos. I was very happy to be the only Tuba to make it into Region Band. Especially as a freshman. ^^

-questions the life given to him..and wonders if his true purpose on this planet was to be an experiment-

i already know my number, 4592, the number in which i was created and the experiment is to see how much one "person" can ake before finally snaping on either themselves or the people around them. I've been treated as such several times thus far in this life...so try to explain other wise....

[Guest Fox235]

I don't know dude....

I found something out today, I was sitting at the dinner table eating, when I heard my grandparents talking to my mom about Russia, I listened to it because I haven't heard about it in a while. My mom started talking about telling me somethin after a while and said, "I think I should tell--------about the fact that he's American" I freaked out, but there's a corner around the dining table so noone saw or heard me. I didn't know what she meant, so I walked up to her and asked her about, she got upset that I was eavesdropping. Eventually she told me that my parents moved to Russia to....be there I guess and I was born for the time we were there. I asked her why I was told I was Russian and she said that it was because I wouldn't fit in and would be discriminated against about it. So for 12 long years I've been speaking Russian and thinking that way for my entire life. Now that I know I'm American though, I'm happy because it feels like starting over again.

Fox235...

I know I can be a bother too but I'm not rastit in anyway just to point it out...

[Guest Fox235]

I know, you're a great guy! :D

[Kal]

I'm kinda disappointed; you would've been the only Russian I've met on a forum...=/

...Oh well, you're still the same Foxy we all know and love.

And...y'know.

...Except that part.

[Guest Fox235]

Well.....I am a Russian natural born citizen.

And you're a *muffled*

SHUTUP!

[Orbital Fox]

Maybe you could try drawing to replace the time, that's what I do now that I got bored of SF:A.

[Conall Drest]

Hah I cant even draw a pile of crap. It aint worth the effort cause I have not drawn anything in years. I try but I suck. Plus I aint got a good enough desk to draw at all. My tiny room is so cramped up with crap its annoying. I could if I had the room in my room to do so. Maybe when I get a new desk ill do it which should be in about a month cause this particle board desk is falling apart literally .

[Sol-Ratcht Saporro]

^Kekekekeke......I'm only teasin'

College is boring as hell.....Here I am wasting my time in this class.

[Orbital Fox]

Well, I just had a huge breakthrough with my life, most of it bad, but still there is a major good thing that has happened, so it all evens out in the end.

[Ludvig11]

Good to hear it goes pretty Ok for most people.

This year, I have seen three dead foxes... none alive...

[Inuyasha]

I would hope so. Most people wouldn't be too happy from the sight of zombie foxes. Or zombies at all, really. XP
