~Pit~

The spring musical is coming....Spring Musical = Pit.

We had our first pit practice. For those who don't know what the "pit" is, it's the band that plays with the musical.

I was playing Reed 1 with Margie's older sister. We looked through the book of music, looking for the clarinet parts of it. We skimmed through flute parts, alto sax parts, and tenor parts. We found but one clarinet part. It wasn't very long at all! Mr. D told us we could play the tenor saxophone part, and so we went back and looked for the tenor part, we found it four pages into the book...in the song "Be My Baby."

Throughout the whole practice Kelsey and I joked about how much we weren't playing. We sat through Mr. D explain the other rhythms, and we had learned all the other rhythms...to bad they were rhythms we didn't have. The hour and a half practice went by pretty slow. In the last two minutes of practice, Kelsey and I finally got to play! For a grand total of 2 minutes!

That day at school, towards the end of practice, Mr. D goes over to the corner where our stands are supposed to go. He knocks off all this trash that's on it. And there's a piece of gum stuck to it.

"EW!!!" basically everyone moaned.

Mr. D picks up a piece of paper that he just knocked off, and flicks the gum off the stand with it. Then he goes up to my chair and rubs, his hand on my shirt.

"EwWwWw!" I said.

"What?? There wasn't anything on there!!"

"But still!"

He laughs.

"I don't like you!!" I said trying not to laugh.
