BAND JOY

Band, band, band, band, band, bandddd, yay bandddd. That's a song. It expresses my excitement that band is starting very soon, and also my complete and utter JOY that I have actually managed to convince ANOTHER MEMBER to join. I never actually thought it would happen. I am so greatly excited. And I better be in the drumline. I think I will. I mean, the only other people that play snare that are above me in both age and skill level are Cassidy, Jessica, and Blake. Dan (Peterjohn) plays quads and those are the only other percussionists in Symphonic Winds. He said four or six drummers. There are three above, and the only person I can think of that would replace me is Stephanie Callaghan, and she wasn't in band last year so that's an automatic Varsity Band. I mean she played for the parade but that's only because Blake wasn't there, and I played for the parade too so I don't see why I wouldn't be in the drumline. I think I will. I hope I will. Because I most definitely don't want to play bass drum, and I most definitely definitely don't want to be in pit, and quads would be fun but I'm obviously not going to play those. Oh gosh. I just realized that I will be missing a fair amount of band for work. So what if I miss a lot and then I don't know the routine and he makes me be in pit? Actually no I don't think there will be a routine for the September 2nd game, so it's all good. I won't miss the morning practices, so I'll know the important routines. I can't see myself playing anything other than snare, cuz I mean that's what I do. Although this year in regular band it's gonna be different because Jessica Anderson is a really really good drummer and she will in most cases be playing snare instead of me. I'll probably be stuck playing mallets. Which in most cases is not terrible. But still. Oh well. My time will come. Anyway. Spat camp on Monday! Yay!
