#i would have roasted the shit out of that punk

i made second chair horn in my district honor band this year. i knew the kid who was first chair, and i also knew that he didn’t make allstate when i did, so i was fine with it. about 5 minutes before our last rehearsal started, when everyone was warming up, a couple of 1st chair’s friends walked up to our section. they talked for a little while and i wasn’t paying attention until i noticed one of his friends look me up and down and say, “Ayy, [first chair’s name], <i>we</i> don’t have any female horns!” and then another one not-so-quietly add, “It’s because they can’t play. Bet that’s why she’s second chair.” 1st chair’s face was hilarious when they asked all members who made allstate to stand shortly before the concert.
