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.

Truth be told, I was waiting in a drive thru with a 10 dollar bill and a 1 dollar bill and then proceeded to act out Right Hand Man with them and it was the best day of my life.
I have two modes in Guns and Ships:
1. LAFAYETTE… *Awkward silence*…LAFAYETTE…*Awkward silence*
2. LAFAYETTE. *Mumbling* LAFAYETTE. *Lots of mumbling*

@instru-mental-tubistIF YOU PLAY THE 2nd, 3rd, OR 4th PART OF THE MUSIC IN YOUR BAND, YOU ARE IMPORTANT. I’M COMPOSING A PIECE AND THE HARMONIES PROVIDED BY THESE PARTS LITERALLY ALMOST MADE ME CRY. DO NOT DOUBT YOUR IMPORTANCE.
Same goes for bass parts! Have pride in your parts and play them well!!!
I’m really not cocky, just don’t insult my instrument (LIKE CALLING IT EASY. YOU TRY TO HIT A HIGH C6 OKAY) or I will empty my spit valve in your mouth
A (really long) memoir by me
@musicalshards That is an amazing analogy. And so true!IF YOU PLAY THE 2nd, 3rd, OR 4th PART OF THE MUSIC IN YOUR BAND, YOU ARE IMPORTANT. I’M COMPOSING A PIECE AND THE HARMONIES PROVIDED BY THESE PARTS LITERALLY ALMOST MADE ME CRY. DO NOT DOUBT YOUR IMPORTANCE.
You’re literally the opposite of John Mackey…bless you
The conductor of a great wind orchestra I worked with recently told us that the first part is like ice cream. Plain, bland vanilla ice cream. Okay on it’s own, but so nothingy. But when you add the second and third and fourth parts, we get all the different sauces and sprinkles and flakes and cream and chocolate chips and chunks of fruit and those curls of chocolate you get in the top of a box… all the things that turn a piece of music from a single plain thing into a rich, sonorous, multi-threaded dessert!
@the-night-kitten Haha, Touché. While these parts made me cry because they sounded so nice, some of them made me cry for the opposite reason.IF YOU PLAY THE 2nd, 3rd, OR 4th PART OF THE MUSIC IN YOUR BAND, YOU ARE IMPORTANT. I’M COMPOSING A PIECE AND THE HARMONIES PROVIDED BY THESE PARTS LITERALLY ALMOST MADE ME CRY. DO NOT DOUBT YOUR IMPORTANCE.
i love this cause it’s not quite clear if they made u cry cause they were so beautiful or cause they were so difficult to compose
I AM THE FACE OF DEVOTION. Even with a 103.4 degree fever the day before (don’t tell my band director), I got up performed the regular concert repertoire, provided the piano accompaniment for the choir I was still in (including a song that I learned I was supposed to play ten minutes before showtime), Jazz Band, AND A TRUMPET SOLO. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR SIX MONTHS AND I GOT THE ENTIRE SONG AS A SOLO.
