July 3, 200322 yr -Macgyver]Bandie. Good thing you told us or your post would be correct....... as in Banned. j/k And I can't play FA very well at my dads and I have been at my dads from Monday and till Sunday probally. It has a wierd error on FA, when I log on the TA server it starts to come up then it just goes to console and stays there. Doesn't say I was kicked for Cheating Death or anything.
July 3, 200322 yr I was in band for 6-8th grades (middle school)one phrase: Percussion is the best...hated marching, my director was always like "hey, ur big, u get to use the bass drum" and our school's bass drums were like super huge and made out of like heavy wood, heavy plastic, and heavy metal... and I saw other schools that had these little mini bass drums that you could play catch with. I hated that. My friend wanted to play the bass drum, and I wanted to play snare, but we always had to do it the other way around. By the way, when I say big, I mean tall, I was like 6'3", and am now 6'7".Gotta admit, trumpets were cooler than any other sections, sorry low brass, you only rank 3rd though. Then comes flutes, cuz they look cool, but I gotta say, sax's, clarinets, and other reed instruments suck... they sound ugly.Band was fun while it lasted, but I didn't want it crowding up my high school schedule, so I just stopped after middle school. We would always have a great time in the back while the director would go and help other sections... we would play catch with drum sticks and mallets, run around like decapitated chickens, run into stuff, hit eachother with mallets, beat eachother up, and on occasion, one of my friends would pass out this one kid (who was the little chubby kid that was in the group so he could get picked on for sayin stupid stuff, but was still a friend) by gripping his neck and cutting of the bloodflow to his brain for a few seconds... it was interesting.My guts were spilled. Percussion is still the best. Even if we were crazy.
July 3, 200322 yr [harass]band geek, band geek, band geek[/harass]you may now resume your normal thread viewinghave a nice day
July 3, 200322 yr I was in the Concert Band but NEVER the marching band. They were the Bandies. I played Tuba for 7 years and they wanted me to march. Not for me.Gotta admit that there were a lot of cute girls in the ,arching band though.Maybe I missed something.......
July 3, 200322 yr ya i was low brass....word to mac... 8) but in total band awsomeness i believe the percussion section owned. i could roll a few beats on the snare, do a little on the quints, bass drum was cool too. but once a horn...always a horn right!?!?!
July 3, 200322 yr heh i was the complete band geek first chair and all that in marching/concert/jazz bands but i also played jv and varsity socer for 4 years 8) so i guess im an ex-band/jock :shock: i just about killed me and at one point I had band and soccer the same period and that just sucked had to alternate days :x
July 3, 200322 yr lol.....we used to have band camp....they used to go to big bear, but the new band director sucks. so this year its only pep and jazz......bullet says it best...bleh :evil:
July 3, 200322 yr Well, FMPoV, Strings and Piano rule all other instruments. They are not in marching bands though.
July 3, 200322 yr Well, FMPoV, Strings and Piano rule all other instruments. They are not in marching bands though. thats what they want you to think.....
July 3, 200322 yr "This one time at band camp....." im sorry you guys but all this band talk is just making me laugh and think about highschool where band is in there own little world...the marching stuff was cool, but until they start playing like the band on Remember the Titans.... they wont get full props from a ex-jock as someone previously named it. You Dork!! you know you liked all of us band nerds(and wanted to be one of us also!!)ask him if he pretended to play the triangle or not :wink: :roll: :twisted:
July 3, 200322 yr band. i remember that. marching. ew. TRUMPETS PAWN ALL. only problem with band is that bandites hated rotc people and i was in both. rotc kicks more butt than band so. ROTC wins. owns all even trumpet. but the best is a ROTC/TRUMPET player like me
