To the band kids here: if your school participates in BOA, what’s it like?
This year was our first year competing in BOA and let me say…. It was hectic. Two of our members fainted due to dehydration and overworking themselves. The other bands were huge compared to our small town band. However, it was fun!! Got to meet other bands and see thier incredible shows!! Even tho we got 10th place, we placed above some bands that were pretty good. Overall, it was an amazing experience, just remember to listen to your body and drinks lots of water
I hate to repost these but I’m looking for the post with these two band valentines in it if anyone finds it plz send it to me! I’m pretty sure at least that I got these off tumblr!
help them find the post!! and in the meantime have these valentine cards!!
Hello everyone!! I would like to give a shout-out to @meetay06 who reached to me!! They would like to share thier marching band’s performance with y'all!! The show is called Ignite, and it LIGHTEN UP MY DAY!! (ha, see what I did there) The show features Light Em Up by Fall Out Boy, Blinding Lights by the Weeknd, and more!!!

Shenanigans/Quotes from my HS band director (Pt. 1)
“TACTICAL RIENDEER!! PLAY IT LIKE TACTICAL RIENDEER!!”
* gets called a middle-aged age, white, woman who looks like she is going to a pumpkin patch * “ You know, the thing that hurt me the most was you calling me middle-aged ”
“ So… No instruments today. Who wanna play among us? ”
“ My name is Playa ”
* plays budweiser real men of genius commercials *
“STAGE FREEZE!! But don’t say it ”
“ Those camera angles are not cute”
“ pEwIoD ”
“ i have been told that y'all were hungry during this class, so… *whips out two boxes of granola bars* have at it! ”
“guess what i’m doing on winter break? not going on vacation. spending glorious time with my cat instead.”
“TRUMPETS STOP MAKING A FORT KNOX OF MUSIC STANDS.”
“FLUTES YOU’RE OVERPOWERING THE TRUMPETS. BE THE SPRINKLES WHILE THE TRUMPETS ARE THE CUPCAKES!!!”
“hey kids who wants to go out and spray-paint the band field? that’s not a choice. we’re all gonna spray paint the field.”
“note to self. don’t have teenagers spray paint the band field because they suck at it.”
“see i can be a rap master.” *proceeds to beat box using a tuba mouthpiece*
“i found an entire can of hairspray in my bathroom. i haven’t had hair in ten years” *pretends to stroke his nonexistent hair*
“what? what did you say? i’m sorry, i can’t hear you over the sound of your failure, aka you playing bari sax.”
“when our bus broke down some guy yelled like a three-year-old out of his car that my parking job sucked. me, being the three-year-old that i am, yelled back at him.”
“OKAY, WHO TOUCHED MY DUNKIN’ DONUTS HAT??”
“i love trains. like, a lot. but do we go on band trips to a train station?? no. so you can suck it up and go to a parade in (name of local town).”
“apparently all the clarinets have broken reeds because you guys sound awful.”
“trumpets, use your mutes. or i’ll make you all permanently mute. every single one of you.”
“whoopsie i forgot saxophones existed and didn’t order their parts. guess they just won’t have the new music for a couple days.”
“OH MY GOSH MY CHAIR SPINS.” *proceeds to spin in circles on his podium*
Note to self: Thinking a sketchy style like this could increase speed. I tend to spend a long time making things clean when i could get more practice doing a new rough pose.
Also do I rly just want to call this comic guitar girl? (0_o)
