I MADE 3RD CHAIR CONCERT BAND AT ALL DISTRICT!!!
You learn how they tick so then you can press buttons like how we bully our band director about the hole he put in the ceiling while tossing cup mutes to the trumpets shortly after we were back in the new room after the school got remodeled. We just point up at the hole every time he tosses something in class and he says he’s planning on getting on a ladder to use white marker or something since he thinks it’s a smudge or something while we’re all pretty sure it’s an actual hole.
the thing nobody here really talks about is how easily students can read their director, particularly if the director is considered good.
Because band students spend so long trying to learn all the visual cues during a concert that every single quirk and oddity of the director gets filed away for later use.
Half of rehearsal time is spent privately figuring out that a raised eyebrow in a certain direction means that the band is slowing down unintentionally, or figuring out that wide eyes means someone done fucked up.
Taking this out of rehearsal means that you eventually learn that an eyebrow twitch means the director is getting annoyed by another person and needs leadership to come up with a problem to save him. A half smile means “good job”, but a half smile plus a raised eyebrow means “hah I’m teasing you about this for the rest of your life here”.
Idk something about how every ensemble, no matter how big, will always know what their doctor is feeling with a quick glance At least, if the director is good

The first thing I thought of while reading these is our drum major whom we constantly make fun of for her country accent
One of her country-isms is “god willing and the creek don’t rise” and then for one of our comps it rained so much that the school county canceled all events so we couldn’t go AND THE CREEK ROSE
im reading about cowboy phrases and sayings and like 95% of them are just solid life advice

What is Trump? And why are people posting about it all the time?
the ancient Americans believed that Trump, pharaoh of new york—later exiled to florida—was the second incarnation of their national demiurge, Reagan. he did little to discourage this, even taking the name Donald in direct reference to the ancient conservative deity
Congrats on second place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If our band director doesn’t stop us we’ll probably be having weekly chair challenges unless we can challenge right after a challenge and then it’ll be each class
