We had fun so that’s basically winning

Our first football game was an away game and the stand were far too small for us and I realized that the reason was that the school was expecting a marching band that was a similar size to them which looked like 30-40 people.

We have over 70 people.

Oh yeah people care about football we won 50 something to 6

I love it when two marching bands have the same stand tune and they start playing it faster or louder as a challenge to the other band

They bring the worst in each other 🥰

Based on this!

Sweater is done!! It fits very well I am very proud lol. It's probably my most store-bought looking sweater.

I’d say do the cables because it might be a little warm to wear it soon especially with marching season

Sweater progress! She's cooking up nicely, I'm still debating sleeve cables because I'm halfway speedrunning this. I want it done because dino vest but also fun cables. What do I doooo

It sounds like you need a weather person to fire (someone is announced weather person and then they’re in charge of the weather then get fired if practice gets rained out)

I FUCKING HATE PENNSYLVANIA WHY IS IT RAINING EVERY DAY IN AUGUST

One of our clarinets got a converse tan

band camp sock tan 😔 (i can’t stop it, it’s a canon event)

I love thieving

I love theivering from my drum techs

Hey @helenalikeschickens, how was learning to tan?

I’m great at playing clarinet

Fuck self modesty! Tell me something you know you're great at! I'll start. I'm a great cook.

Must have on my blog

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

Can we vote for the cat instead I think this is the best choice for the election

If you have ever done marching band you are now legally allowed to say you attended Camp Jupiter

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*

ROLL STEP!!! KEEP YOU TOES HIGH!!!!!

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.
