Band Competition Tip

I’m so proud of myself, kiddies. Yesterday, i marched with a trombone instead of my baritone bc some kid forgot his horn and i let him borrow mine. i used the spare trombone and my section leader(who is a trombone bc our lowbrass is one section)said that i played our show better than some of the sophomore trombones did. my cousin said there were people talking about me in the bathroom. Also, one of the field judges for the competition was freaking out bc there was a trombone where there usually was a baritone lmao im just so happy rn
