The Nightmare Before Band Class! (now with more pictures)

Just to start off, holy crap. I almost lost my whole Gmail account. I forgot the password AND user name I used.
Luckily, I remembered it, and you can continue to enjoy the Queen Blog (Bl0g.)


Ha, no worries though, because we I have some nice compliments for the band.
What I heard today was the beginning of a great marching band.
The day was broken up into various sectionals, then the whole band would come together to make eerie, ghoulish music. It was magnificent.

The brass gave a great marching sound. The woodwinds added a nice grave undertone to the music. And well, the percussion...what is not cool about the percussion?

It was great. During my sectional, the woodwind sectional, we went over some scrambled parts in the music. And guess what? We fixed those scrambled parts! I don't know about you, but I'm now able to play some part's I wasn't able to before! Everything became much clearer after I had Luke and Mr. Bailey explain some confusing parts.

Don't think that's the only time you can get help from a Band Leader. If you ever have a problem, you can speak to any of the band member's about it. We're not going to shut you out, but instead offer open arms for help.


Now, for the daily critique. I know, you hate it, but it has to be said.
Okay, I've said it once and I'll say it one million more times if need be:
The inappropriate talking has to cease.
When I type cease, I mean stop completely. And by stop completely, I mean don't do it anymore.
And by don't do it anymore I mean, if I see you talking out of turn, I'm going to smack you upside the head.
(neat emote, huh?)
Sorry to have to say that, but I will if I have too.

Also, this goes for texting (a.k.a txting.) While it may not be a form of verbal communication, it is communication none-the-less. So you know what that means? You can't do it while an authoritative figure is speaking.



RANDOM MUSICAL FACT OF THE DAY:

Okay, I know, I did saxophones yesterday, but this is too cool to pass up.
Can anyone tell me what these are:


What? No one?
Well, they happen to be Bamboo Saxophones.
Unlike most instruments, the joints are extremely durable. A quality lacking from most modern instruments. They are also resistant to the humidity that ends up ruining most wooden instruments interiors.
And much like a 'reed' instrument, the Bamboo Sax uses a reed from bamboo! Imagine that!
