Do you know how long it takes to wrap a tuba in wrapping paper?

Too fucking long.

Too. Fucking. Long.

So band camp was last week, I would like you guys to meet box boy

Tuba stand tunes 2k19 lets gooo

I’m gonna be one horrible ass section leader lmao

God I love band life so much

I don’t understand how people quit or don’t like band. It’s literally one of the best things that’s ever happened to me, and it hurts that my friends are leaving.

It may seem stupid that I’m getting so emotional about something that I still have so many years, and so many opportunities still, as freshman year is ending.

I’m going to be a section leader next year and it scares me that I might forget how to have fun and let loose in band, especially when so many of my friends are leaving it next year.

I just want to make the most of it while I’m here, and it’s hard to think a whole year went by like that.

There’s two things that my band director says before every game, when we’re lining up in parade block and it’s something that I think everyone should hear.

• What makes a band successful? Every single person does their absolute best, all the time.
• Remember who you are, remember who you represent, remember who you want to be.

And some of you may take it as just some stupid band thing, but you have to look past your section, past the band, past the people around you in order to really believe it. You have to look at yourself and tell yourself who you are and who you want to be to make it come true, to do your absolute best all the time.

And this may be why band is so important to me but it really is a family, as stupid as that may sound.

Y’all, guess what bad bitch just got section leader

This dumbass freshman lol I have no clue what I’m doing or how I got here plz send help

Welcome to my clarinet section. Here we have:

- the late bloomer emo section leader that brings random produce to potlucks (me)

- the gay pothead that doesn’t want to be here but was in band for 8 years and cried at senior night

- the other section leader that can be mistaken for a freshman and joined the day of kickoff night as a freshman despite never playing an instrument

- the tall dude with broken hips who manages to be louder than everyone

- the antisocial kid who may or may not have had a hit list in middle school but he’s gotten better and is not homophobic, just closeted

- the trans guy who gaslit everyone into thinking he was always male and is also allergic to everything but eats the thing she shouldn’t have anyways

- the clone of an alumni that I forget is younger than me

- the twin who I thought was just in two sections and never mentioned it who is apparently very loud but I’ve never heard him speak

- salad boy who materializes next to people randomly and has almost been killed by me by accident on a few times due to his peanut allergy

- sheltered girl who’s the embodiment of 2014 tumblr but in an innocent way

- tall awkward guy with the same exact first and last name as a senior

Honorable mentions:

- the flamboyant ginger closeted MCR fan who is now drum major and brought lettuce to 2 games this year

- my ex girlfriend who joined colorguard and has definitely forgotten how to play clarinet by now

- the girl who never showed up, quit, and posted about how much she missed band on Snapchat

- the 4’10 girl that was supposed to be our section leader and then disappeared
