Thanks. Im glad that someone feels the same way about that as I do. There are alot of people who say that because they are older, than they are the better leader. I definetly dont feel that way.

wow.... if I was the director I would say, no practice, no game. We have two people who have sat out for the past few days, One cant march, he tore some odd muscle in his leg, and the other checked into the hospital today, I dont know why though.... If you cant march at practice, then how are you going to march at the game at the same level of the others who have been practicing???? I dont get it.....

Yea. Ill try to talk to him, maybe he will finally listen. He doesnt think anything I say is resonable because he's older. Thats his only reason for being section leader. He broke the tie against 2 other people when we voted, his excuse being that hes a senior. What do yall think about that... do you think that senority should qualify you for leadership? Is the better leader the junior who really cares about the band, or the senior who doesnt care about anything?

yall let them sit out? what excuses do they have?

Did yall find any cure? lol

I am pretty much on top of the game constantly. (not to sound conceited...)I got a comment from the director today, and my co-section leader made a perverted joke about it to the entire section, while we were standing at attention, about to march. They refuse to take me seriously because they think that just because we are trumpets, that we are supposed to slack off. The trumpet section has been one of the wildest sections for the past couple of years... I think I'm going to call a section meeting. Maybe they will listen if I get my entire point across to them. Thanks for the help ya'll!

yea. I understand. I have been trying to gain their repect since the end of last school year. But I am not a senior. So I am younger than the other section leader. But we voted on section leaders, and they chose me to be "head section leader". But we are getting close to the end of marching season, and these last weeks are extremly important. Hopefully, I will be able to convince them and get them to understand where we are in our season.

I know there is already a topic started for this, but it is pretty old, and no one has posted on it for a while. Ask for advice about any problems your band may be having. I'll go first, I am co-section leader. And my co likes to rally up the section during practice and distracts them. But when I try to calm them down, they get mad at me. The directors know that our section is one of the noisiest, but the rest of the section doesnt seem to care much. Should I try to discipline them? Or just talk to the other section leader? what else could I do?

wow... some of those are quite intresting.... lol. thanks for the laugh!

shadow weaver has already done it.

i believe brazoswood also has a little bit in their show...

who runs that? the last login was almost a year ago...

im excited now! wow. in 2005 we only had 12 bands at area, now we are going to have 16.

i agree. 3rd place isnt bad. maybe if they would have scored bottom 8 or so. 3rd place is still pretty darn good, and i expect them to come back with an awsome show.

we had a 2 and a half hour practice ruined yesterday. we called it early. we had some people out there in thick jackets, and 4 layers of pants, and other kids wearing short sleeve shirts and short shorts. crazy people. my hands were frozen to my horn. it ruined our focus. it was pretty bad....

still no news from region 9?
