when the band director's such a dick im sending multiple emails to the competition people about rules

[cultofthesnare]

our pit section leader suffers more than jesus I think everyone should give her ten million dollars. best person in marching band. i love you.

[cultofthesnare]

am sunburn D:

i have GOT to stop monologuing to myself in the middle of drill. it was fine when I was bass one because usually I was far from the rest of the band and bass two was paying zero attention but. im in the middle and front of the drumline. everyone can hear me. I have both gone on rants about our band director being horrible and about how much I love Audrey lsoh when no one was paying attention. i don't think I can get away with more.

[cultofthesnare]

i desperately need a quads solo cover of hard to be the bard from something rotten. complete with movement visual and of course hip thrusts. please and thank you.

[cultofthesnare]

i think my marching band uniform specifically should have a codpiece. this will work perfectly and cause no problems 👍

[cultofthesnare]

just drafted a post about the bullshit my band director is pulling and decided not to post it not because it was to harsh but because if someone I know saw this blog I think they would know it's me by the sheer amount of rage directed at him

for over a decade, i've seen posts warning against tearing down stickers because of razor blades behind the sticker. i've torn down hundreds of stickers, and i've never encountered this—i think the razor blade myth makes people less likely to tear down stickers

[minerkur-deactivated20260525]

in 10-14 years of tearing off nazi stickers i've heard people telling me to be careful lest there be any more times than i can count but not once has there ever actually been a razor blade or literally anything else. and can i be so fucking real. so what if there is. you're gonna cut your finger a little bit and it's gonna hurt a bit and you're gonna bleed and you're going to spray some disinfectant on it and put a bandaid on it when you get home. in the very worst case you're gonna go to a hospital and get one single stitch put in and have a cool story ever after.

like would you rather spend your whole life not doing thee most low barrier straightforward antifascist work possible bc of the infinitesimal chance you might get a cut on your finger one single time. might as well never touch paper lest you cut yourself

[geewaysgreendayhoodie]

if you really are concerned about it, carry around a little plastic sticker scraper or something, they're easy to find and cheap and don't care if they encounter a razor blade or whatever. use tools, that's what they're for

[cultofthesnare]

shout out to our troops who have gone through band camp on their period 🫡 you forever have my respect

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

[cultofthesnare]

More important note - be prepared. Drink water, sleep, be healthy. Practice your music. Ask about anything you're confused about. Wear sunscreen and bug spray, and do not wear black.

[cultofthesnare]

reminder for those in buggy areas - BRING BUG SPRAY FOR BAND CAMP.

I live in a very buggy place, and it is actual hell to be on the humid 95 degree practice field with your drum on while a swarm of bugs are on your face. wear bug spray. you can make at least one of those things go away

[cultofthesnare]

Do you like playing mallet percussion, auxiliary percussion, or battery percussion more

battery definitely has to be my favorite (and it is, like, what i do) because my goal in music always is to play as many notes as possible in the shortest amount of time. also that for drum set

mallets, while I do like playing them, I'm just not that... good. in fact, I have never once gotten a mallet part for a piece. the band director has seen me play them he knows I'm not absolute shit. I've had multiple auditions that needed me to play mallet parts for them and I've done good so.... this is a message to my band director I've known you for six years. you know I want a mallet part. gimme.

auxillary is just sooooo much. i really like cymbals in parts where I can play a lot. the best is having like five smaller auxillary parts and having to run back and forth between them. it's so fun. cabasa is my bbg

[cultofthesnare]

okay I have an idea that probably does not exist but. I need it.

imagine. a plastic crab that has a battery and stuff that makes it crab with proper technique. BUT. not only that. it also functions as a metronome. and it crabs in time with the metronome.

if anyone makes this i will be expecting 50% of the earnings, which will undoubtedly be millions of dollars.

[cultofthesnare]

legit I am so excited for bandalism. i'm going to absolutely fuck over my section leader

[cultofthesnare]

officially center snare now so. get ready for a name change? (i am not qualified for this)
