Why our Band Director Has Given up on our Band!!!!!
We are a small Middle School Band, but we can create a pandora's box of problems.
These are not exaggerations… they are all true!
Imagine the band Room, with all of these things happening at once:
Our third chair trombone just broke the fifth and final school trombone we have… (Note: He just got the first one today)
Kris lost Mahler Symphony #3 for the 8th time.
Our percussionists managed to drop the triangle metal-stick thing into the hole on the bass drum… Then…
Alex knocks over the bass drum…
Our second chair Oboe forgot her instrument for the 20th consecutive time. (That's four whole weeks!)
Our second clarinets just informed our director that they are still playing on 1 ½ thickness reeds, when they should be using 3 ½.
Our third chair Saxaphone just 'broke up' with her juvinille percussionist 'boyfriend' for the 5th time this hour.
We got straight 3's at festival a few weeks ago (That's below average for bands in our area)
In an attempt to set the bass drum back up, Zack sets it wrong, and it knocks over the snare drum… then the bells… then the vibraphone…
Our baritone player just got the Timpani's tuning all screwed up.
Kris just discovered the gong. (CRASH!)
Our Picollo is yelling across the room for the answers to her Algebra homework.
Our first chair tuba just locked our Baritone Sax in the French Horn locker.
