actualgirltrombone Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 HAHA... people in my band say that dating inside your section is incest... so... whaddaya think? I mean... the band is a family after all, so I can see the logic... but it would be just so so sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly11 Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Don't do it, cause like most High School relationships you'll break up then it would just be wierd and uncomfortable and hostile. Then you could become section leader and they won't listen to you worth crap, then that just makes you more angry and hostile. I would suggest seperate section dating, if yall' broke up, yeah you would still see them but you can control it. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX Suh-nare Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yeah, dating in high school is lmost pointless The whole point of dating is to find a future wife/husband. You're probably not mture enough to be doing that at the ripe old age if 16. Or however old you are That's four cents already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 The whole point of dating is to find a future wife/husband. Not for lots of people... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bariphonium Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Dating within your section is like dating someone who you work with: It's great if you really like them, because you see each other a whole lot, but then if and when you break up, you're still seeing each other a whole lot. This makes life a little... difficult, especially if it was a hard break-up. So, in short, not recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly11 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 You're probably not mture enough to be doing that at the ripe old age if 16. Or however old you are I don't think your age always correlates with maturity level. It just depends on the person, you see a lot of couples who had been dating since high school then they get married. Sometimes dating in high school isn't so pointless as people believe.

actualgirltrombone Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I never asked if it was a good idea... i would never date the people in my section. ICK! (no offense guys... just... heh) I was wondering if it's considered incest anywhere else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRtrumpet Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'd date someome in my secton if I liked them. I dont see whats wrong with it, even if you do break up. I wouldent feel akward... but thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arundo Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 A lot of sections in my school make rules in the beginning of the year saying you arent allowed to date somebody in the section during marchings season..Because your around these people for so long, and if you break up, its just not a good situation...You can take the risk and see if it works or play it safe and EVERYBODY is happy.

harrellp Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 high brass sectionals are **** now after my recent split... we're in different sections but being in symphonic (the same period), her bein a french horn and me a trumpet, almost everything to do with band pits us together... not good timing when you break up the day before summer band starts 0_o... i mean we're still cool... but if you knew them previously well as a fellow band nerd it'll just be wierd after it like almost no matter what... and i wouldnt know... but there would prolly be a positive and negative side to being in the same section after a break up... 1.it'd be easier to get used to it quicker or 2. it'll be sucky with drama or etc... ya... wow... im bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicloverforlife Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 in section dating isn't common at my school, but i did it and had a nasty breakup after marching season, then the guy quit, so it worked out beautifully. but it's not common, but it does happen sometimes.

themainclarinet Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hmmmm....WEll I know two people that went out in my section. I wouldn't realy say it was wierd but I know there was a great deal of drama following the break up. And maybe the guy was a bit jack assish if you will...But they also became good friends in the end. I have never dating in my section. I usually go for brass players!

Keyboard_Countessa Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I don't really think of in-section dating as incest. To be honest, most of my crushes have been on fellow percussionists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX Suh-nare Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Same here. The difference between that and the girls around school is I can actually talk to these girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkwolf Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I dated and well, still am dating, someone in the same section. For two years, and he graduated, and we never had any problems. Lots of people date people in the same section at my school...lets see...I can think of 6 different couples that got together and broke up in my section alone...No real problems, one couple just had problems themselves, but it didn't affect marching. At first we kinna concidered it incest and made fun of them for it, but, then it started happening alot and that stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissSpringbassliner Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I think the word incest is a little over the top to describe the situation. Yes, band is like a family (especially drumline) and i wouldnt reccomend dating in your section, but it isnt incest... thats just gross...
