Is anybody on here in band?
God, it's both a dream come true and a nightmare. This summer I had to spend two weeks at band camp. 8 hours a day... 4 hours marching in the blistering heat, 4 just playing music. It was ridiculously challenging... some people even passed out! I made it through, but it was really tedious and dragged out.
But now that we're starting to play at my school's football games, it's awesome. Something about marching in front of thousands of people with music blaring all around you... it's amazing. Not only that, in the stands, we often get competitive. We play one song, they throw it back at us better, we play another, they rival that, etc...
I play the Alto Sax by the way.
