@sorryihavemarchingband
YOOOOO you’re back. I followed this blog a long ass time ago when I was a highschool freshman, I’m now in college so it’s p cool, I’m not a section leader, I’m not even playing an instrument anymore
YOOOO yes I am back for a little bit lol
I made this blog when I was a high school freshman actually!! I’m definitely feeling that “not in band don’t play instruments anymore” type of thing
I wanna get back into music soon though, just lessons are crazy expensive where I live!!
Sometimes I forget how much a brand new instrument costs because I play on The Antique Saxophone That Barely Works Anymore™ and lemme tell yall my jaw DROPPED to the floor
$5000 for a new fully brass saxophone my friend bought the other day
that costs more than my entire car??
more than my organs i think??
how much does a kidney go for these days??
why is music so EXPENSIVE
Hey! I hope you're doing okay right now! It seems like it's been a while since you've posted anything
Hello!! Yes I am doing okay, I’ve just been very busy with school! I’m doing a double major and a minor and it’s kicking my butt lol
I’m the same as that last anon. I followed you as a freshman (I actually think we graduated at the same time), and then lost track of this blog. When I found you again I was the head drum major and trying to keep my band together during the onslaught of the pandemic, pick new leadership, and help my director put himself back together after a rough patch. It was relaxing to go through and read your posts.

Yay!! I’m glad that my posts have brought you relaxation :)
Ya know sometimes I feel like minding my own business as a musician but then I remember the guy next to me playing on black moldy reeds and just needing to tell him that it was horrid
It’s sorta like the whole celebrities not showering thing
Change your reeds, kids!
Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture but instead of canons it’s fifty kazoos being played at once
DUDE! I remember I used to LOVE this blog!! Like during my freshman year I thought it was so cool. Idk but I think during my sophomore year I stopped using tumblr as much and during the pandemic I changed my interests a lot... and now it's my senior year and I'm head section leader and wow. I have come across this blog again and wow. WOOOW. Wow
AYEEEEEE I’m glad to see you’re back!! Congrats on being head section leader, that’s so neat!!!
Someone sawed off my exhaust pipe and stole my catalytic converter last night 🙃
I like meeting ensembles from different schools cause you can definitely tell which groups are more insane than others
Throwback to the time I saw just a group of absolutely unhinged percussionists from a local school, that decided to have a snare battle with my school
Their bass drum player set down their drum, and HELD THE SNARE PLAYER UPSIDE DOWN WHILE HE PLAYED
A band I competed against had a member with a prosthetic leg. After they finished their show, they took their leg off and drank out of it. Like they got refills and used a straw and everything. Band kids are cool
Did you know
Scientifically, on average, orchestra rooms are 50% and 10 degrees colder than band rooms. This is why orchestra students have wood instruments. The purpose of these wood instruments is to be able to light them on fire while they play, thus keeping everyone warm enough to survive.
i am definitely a scientist and i can tell you this is 100% true thank you

The advantage to graduating is watching all the underclassmen music kids suffer doing group or chair placement tests while you get to chill and relax knowing you’ll never have to do it again
a concept: instead of the music notes having a note head in the shape of an oval they should be in the shapes of little hearts
all of the whole notes should be made into hearts like this ♡ ♡ ♡
highly recommend keeping a Spotify playlist of all the old music you have have played over the past few years
it stands as a living record of the compositions that have formed you, and holds your fondest memories as a performer
Even though I haven’t been able to pursue music the way I’ve wanted to in the past two years, I definitely love hearing about my friend’s musical career as they are becoming a band director lol
Every week I get new pictures of their new instruments and instrument accessories
Like bougie new metal mouthpieces
Or a stunning new saxophone
Or an upgraded keyboard
To all of y’all doing your music thing right now, keep going!! And please send me updates, I love hearing where your music path is taking you!!!!
Yo i just wanted to say i really like your blog, and seeing you be kind and encouraging to other people makes me verry happy and helps me stay motivated in music. Anywayysss you're probably doing more good than you know and i hope you have a good day ❤❤
Awww thanks!! I’m really glad that my little blog has been able to reach so many people and bring them joy in their musical endeavors!!
Ive been following this blog since my first year of marching band, and now I'm field commander and on my 4th year! Its crazy how time flies
Oh wow!! That’s so neat that you’ve been following me so long!! I can’t believe it’s almost my 5th year with this account!!!
I’m sorry I haven’t been as active on it lately, as I have not really been able to participate in music since the pandemic began, and finding private lessons that accommodate my needs are not easy lately.
Glad to hear you are still dedicated to your music in your 4th year, and I wish you luck on your journey as a field commander!! Feel free to submit any posts or stories to my account if you’d like!!
