Devon Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I realize that if you are still in band, you enjoy it to some extent. But are there bands out there that actually like being there, and have any fun at all during rehearsal. I know that in my old band, there was always the reluctance to going to after school rehearsal, but I know that I actually could say there were times that I had fun. I actually enjoyed some parts of band. And that is why I joined... anyone else have anything to say about anything fun the bands do during a rehearsal...? Like... any lax point at all... any time where the director isn't being a total Nazi about everything...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRtrumpet Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I enjoy being in my band pretty much all the time. We have alot of fun, sometimes a little too much (and we don't get enough done) but I can honestly say that I actually enjoy band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I really enjoy marching band. I am not going do concert band this year and I am pretty sad that the marching season is almost over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 can't agree with either of those comments either. wow... i guess I can say that I like a few of the people in my band as people... but other than that... it all amounts to pretty much nothing.

springbassliner26 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I enjoy it for the most part, both concert and marching seaons. Just every once in a while I get really frustrated with things. But other than that, I <3 band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasabernathy Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Well our BD has a love obsession with the tuba line, which I'm on, so band is pretty amazing because we can get away with a lot of stuff that the rest of the band can't.

Skippy Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I made tons of unforgettable memories and friends in band, those 4 marching seasons will go down as some of the best times in my life. It changed me for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bored2damax Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I dont like marching band, ive been trying to quit but my BD wont let me quit, so yeah, but i like concert season. The reason is because i feel more challenge during concert season rather than marching season. The songs are just not that difficult. It used to be but not anymore.

Sicemb Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 somone sure sounds bitter.....maybe if you just put a little more of yourself into it, instead of just showing up and holding a spot, you would enjoy it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n3rdu5 Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I love marching band. Even though sometimes I hate how the rehearsals go - because of how the directors are acting, or the band, or the weather, or whatever - I love it. I have such a passion for it, and I will be very sad whenever I march my last show... Concert season, on the other hand...haha I hate with a passion. I find it EXTREMELY boring. Marching band you get to do all this awesome stuff and with all this energy, and I just feel like with concert season there's nothing like that. *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRtrumpet Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I find concert season pretty boring too... the only parts I like about it are trying out for different things like all-region, all-state and stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewing09 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Concert band is VERY BORING i really dont like we got 2 bands symphonic and concert. symphonic is the top band anywho so ya i usually make symphonic and it actually really sucks all we do is work on music which isnt hard for my section, then we do sight reading which our director gives us RIDICULOUSLY hard music i swear it has like 3409834 key changes and 5884 time changes with weird rythms then gets pissed off at us saying we're gonna get 2s and 3s. then it turns out that the stuff we actually sight read is so much easyier. so ya thats purdy much our whole concert season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arabella Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I really enjoy band. The practice is tiring, but the football games and contests are so worth it. The people in my band make it so worthwhile. Also I absolutely love concert season. During marching season I play the tenor sax, but I get to play my oboe for concert season and I love it so much. Plus, by the time concert season starts, I'm usually pretty fed up with not having any free time due to marching band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGiggles Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 If you constantly think about everything your directors tell you, and try to apply all the concepts that will make you better, and hold yourself to a standard of excellence, band should never be boring.

hebrontuba08 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 marching band is really the only reason i go to school (besides friends). i absolutely love going to contests and football games! sometimes the rehearsals are really frustrating but the contests and games make it all worth it. concert season the past two years has been A LOT of fun because i've been in 2nd band and thats the fun one. we're good enough to play cool music and relaxed enough to have some laughs along the way.

jbrih13 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Band is for sure hard work, and only band people can apperciate the hard work we all do (football players, and like other sports people think we dont do much, all we do is walk around. We all know this is not true). During all the practices we (i know i do sometimes) dont want to be there, and i hate it. But its the outcome of all the hard work that i love, and that most of us love, and enjoy. I was thinking about quiting and not doing band my senior year, but its things like the people, and the competitions and stuff that i would miss toooooooo much.

Nancy08 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I cant say i enjoy marching season much cause i have a back injury so carrying a 15 pound T sax is not fun. Plus the fact that i dont Actually play sax. Concert season is awesome though cause i get to go back to my bassoon. Our music the last 2 years has been awesome too so that helps. If you've never played Aegean Festival Overature than ur missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true. I had a moment like that today. I was all engaged in the rehearsal for some reason, and had a lot of energy, and it went by so much faster than usual. Also, today is the best that I've played french horn since before I did drum corps for the summer. The two are probably related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
