my band is big we never get any work done... and that our director can't control all of them..

3 tubas
1 baritone
4 trombones
12 alto saxes
1 tenor sax
22 trumpets
17 clarinets
17 flutes
9 percussionist
1 base clarinet
1 oboe
1 basson

so yes... we have no balance and everyone is bad.. one reason why i'm not taking band next year.. but i'll take it in high school i guess.. i'll just have to work on the trumpet (by playing video game music!  ;D)

i'm not gonna do band in high school, because they make you do marching band, which i really don't want to do. (and marching band is your fall sport, so, no.)


damn commies.

What sucks with meh band is we HAVE to do marching band & we HAVE to go to the football games for Pep band >___>

Palagerini

that's why there's jazz band =P. but atleast marching band is only for half a year... although i hate football so it's real boring for me to be at a football game. why can't we play for the tennis team or chess team?! lol

Wow...at least your bands (for the most part) have all the instruments. (Except the mysterious English horn.)
My band has:
No piccolo
No oboe
No tuba
No bass clarinet
No baritone
No tuba
No French horn
We Do have:
6 flutes (one is amazing)
6 clarinets (my twin sister sits first)
4 alto saxes (my section of residence)
4 tenors (all loud, squeeky, and annoying)
1 bari (Pretty darn good if I say so.)
1 bassoon (Nice gal, can't hear her)
15 trumpets (uhg)
6 trombones (our strong point of all things)
5 percussionist (They're amazing)

I hated pep band...we did football and basketball...but we don't have a marching band.
I played my main instrument, the violin, in jazz band. (I'm such a homewrecker!)
In my high school orchestra I'm concert mistress and I'm off to college orchestra in the fall. (Violin IS a competetive sport...any string player breezing by this page will agree.)

where I live, there seem to be fewer and fewer people in band each year. my brother's band has only 1 person in it (himself), so next year, when he and the other 5th graders move to my middle school, he's gonna be the only band person and there are 23 violins :o pretty sad if you ask me

my school the orchestrra is getting so small that the school might try and combine intermediate with us (advanced)....

My school's strings suck majorly. They all play off key. And yes, my band is huge. It's two grades combined. We played our concert this week. Apparently we are the best band in YEARS!
