Just a reminder: Your bad days only hold as much weight as your good days. By the same token, your good days hold just as much weight as your bad days. Neither one defines you as more or less of a musician. The fact that you had a bad day does NOT make you a bad musician.

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

Too fucking long.

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

Shoutout to the Arab girl in a sea of white band kids who says “here” during bus attendance whenever the chaperones pause.

Band camp is hell, the only way to describe it honeslty
