I play clarinet. I use a 3.
I've played for eight years.
I'm a juinor.
Yes, we have band camp. And I hate it.
I hate practice, too.
The only things I enjoy and games and band trips.
We're going to Disney again this year. =]
We march in MK once, and then just have fun for 3 more days.
We went to VA Beach and Busch Gardens last year. We didn't even take our instruments. We just went to this military band thing, it was pretty boring.

How did everyone's first game go?

Me, it rained on Friday. We wore just dinkles, band pants, and rain coats. Most of the instruments played the first two quarters and halftime. The upper woodwinds (me) played from the second half of the first quarter through halftime. It was a home game, so we had halftime. We played at a standstill, but we played all 3 songs!

We played the school song for our team when they came back at the end of halftime, and put everything away. Once we did that, it stopped raining. We all agreed to keep our instruments packed up, though. During the last quarter, the everyone in our stands were chanting various things. A couple guys made a D fence sign.

Our team ended up winning 21 -7. =]

Our first game is this week!
I'm so excited
