Listen if you die we’re going to have to march with a hole the entire season so take care of your bodies
another reminder as I go to my first day of band camp - don't die. I can guarantee pushing yourself until you die will not help your section. most times it will hurt them. if you hurt your ankle in drill - take a few reps off. if you are in actual danger of throwing up or passing out, take a little break. drink some water. stretch out your hands, percussionists. it's to no one's benefit if you can't function
There was a solo for alto sax in our marching band piece and none of the saxes had looked at it before camp (I had but it was for someone playing alto on the field and I’m on clarinet), but when we played through the beginning of the part where the solo would be I naturally played it because why not no one else was going to that time. Then our band director realized I had looked at it and decided to make it available for audition to any instrument.
One of the other clarinets and one of the altos tried out too (the other clarinet worked on it over the summer as well). I don’t know who’ll have the solo yet but I’m just glad I’m the reason it was even an audition.
No nuance. There is one correct answer here.

Things my band directors have said:
Band director, through a microphone from the top of the band tower: hey if you ever feel like working could you do this?
Assistant band director, from the pavement with us: do you want me to come up there and fight you grandpa? I'll fight you.
~~~
Assistant band director: see sometimes you guys get too close to each other as you're doing the arm movement. Cause if I go like this, *starts doing the arm move in question*, and I'm close enough to hit grandpa, *starts slapping the band directors arm back and forth*, then I'm too close.
Band director: *literally could care less. Not paying attention to what she's doing and fighting with the Dr. Beat.*
~~~
Band director: guard? That rep was hot. That's the best I've ever seen you do that work all year. Whatever you ate for breakfast it eat it every day.
Assistant band director: yknow I'm not sure I you saying "that was hot" about children.
Band director: guard that was smokin'.
Assistant band director: nope that's worse.
Band director: how about it was ✨️slay✨️.
Us: *cheering*
