Band through the eyes of a bass clarinet


1. Band directors will pick out the low winds. A lot. (this year in the marching band season, I think there was a pick on Danielle day)

2. All the big sections (clarinets, flutes, trumpets, etc.) will push the smaller sections around during sectionals. (I hate when they do that).

3. The flute section leader will always think she is better than everyone else. Try to ignore her. (Talking back works too)

4. All the cool directors will leave. (moe, we hardly knew ya)

5. The trombones and the baritones will always goof off. Ignore them as well.

6. You hat will never be on straight before a competition.

7. You march the best when mad. (One of the best shows I've ever marched was right after I had a screaming match will a fellow bass clarinet)

8. Someone will always get hurt before a compition (Shannon, how is your knee btw)

9. When you family is at a performance, you will mess up. Bad.

10. Bass Clarinets, and all the low winds, never get the credit they deserve. (hey, its true)

11. It is not a bad thing to be someones bitch. As long as you are a girl, and its joking with your female friends

12. You will live off of pixi stix and Mt. Dew. Live with it.

13. It is bad to have a pixi stix fight right before State, in your uniform. (Katie and Courtney...)

14. You will have inside jokes dealing with band that noone else understands. (Katie, you got a little somethin somethin)

15. Whole band meshes at 160 is bad. Very bad. (I didn't die though)

16. The first weekend after the marching season is very odd. You will have this stange urge to go to your high school in the middle of the afternoon on Saturday.

17. Your cousins band is better then you. It is bad to follow them. (this only applys of course if your cousin is in band)

18. Always bring a good loud CD with you ( I recomend Linkin Park)

More to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
