Nancy08 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I'm in NHS and IB on top of band which takes up anytime you might have left over. Luckily there are like 23 IB students and almost half are in band, so I'm not alone... I was also in Key Club for a short time and want to get involved in FCA, but i don't have time during marching season. Oh, plus I'll be in the pit for the school musical too, but that's not till later... Wow, no wonder im so stressed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHSBaSsTrOmBoNe'09 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 ZOMG theres something outside of band?!?! j/k after home football games we'll sometimes start a little thing of catch (football that is) and wow... movies and.... (wow just realized almost everything has band peole involved in it or its band related...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHSHorn Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 as a response to band being easy, frankly, it is. I've played three other sports and marching band has got to be the saddest excuse for an athletic credit I've ever heard of. (even though I love it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewing09 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hey its not that easy... and it takes up a considerable amount of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjakeup Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 as a response to band being easy, frankly, it is. I've played three other sports and marching band has got to be the saddest excuse for an athletic credit I've ever heard of. (even though I love it) i strongly agree... even though i recieve an athletic credit for marching band i still take P.E. because i feel that i am cheating the school system by taking the easy way out of taking an athletic class... people wonder why our children keep getting fatter and fatter. i'll tell you why... its cuz we have rules that let them...

TRtrumpet Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 You don't have to take P.E though. If you don't wanna get fat or out of shape or whatever just work out. P.E in our school is NOTHING. They do less physical activity than the band does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salesmonkey Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 If you dont wanna get fat make the personal choice to eat healthier and get in shape. Its not the schools or the governments jobs to make kids skinnier. Waste of taxpayers money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arabella Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 lol, we deserve the crap that we get. Our football team (Clemens) was first in the area going into the playoffs (anyone from madison, stay out of my thread =p), and yet the band, with our BEST performance of the year, got 46th out of 58(?). So our band sucks compared to our sports. But our athletes are powerfully full of themselves. We're in the opposite situation. We have not won a single game this football season, but our band has been getting increasingly good since we got our new director 4 years ago. (I wasn't here.)

Drummer Chick Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I'm one of those crazy overinvolved kids, we have a lot of those in our band, but anyways, I'm in School band (duh) and Select choir and the show choir, I sing in my church choir, and play in the church handbell choir, band, and orchestra, I'm a Scout, I'm in Venture Crew, I'm in NJHS, I do Academic UIL (science and calculator), I'm in Beta Club and Leo Club (service organizations), and somehow, I'm still passing all of my classes. Sleep is a hobby, and coffee is an addiction, but I enjoy all of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarinetGlissandoInBlue Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I do Academic UIL (science and calculator) ha, calculator UIL is awesome!! last year, i competed as a sophmore, but lucky me, the north shore team was in our district competition - they were state champs the previous year or something like that. of course, they finished top 4 by huge margins. i got 6th when they input info, it sounded like they were typing 1,000,000,000,000,000 digits per second on a keyboard - using hb calculators. naturally, everyone else stared at them for a little while, in awe of their amazing calculating prowess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewing09 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 calculators is fun!!! im not too good i got like 7th.. or something which sux cuz i focused on it more then anything else that year lol ya our band had a huge wake up call at area and it really really sux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRtrumpet Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 It can be very hard to juggle both activities. Especially with conflicting practice times. Yeah, I have a friend who's in band, football, UIL, and debate (all at the same time) and he seems like he never has time to breathe... it kinda seems like he's goin insane at times. Seriously. Our last game was Friday . Marching season is over for me. I guess now it's boring concert season and tennis & basketball practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy08 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I like concert season...but only cause I play bassoon. I really wish I could play tennis but 1) it conflicts too much with band and 2) I have WAY too much else going on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer Chick Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Yeah, I really wanted to take theatre, or maybe even dance, but there is absolutely no possible way to add anything else into my schedule. (see my previous post, I'm not listing them all again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
