Abmiram

I play marimba and at my hs pit is expected to stretch and run or do aerobics with the rest of the band. Occasionally we can't bc of setting up for rehersal or doing sectionals etc, and my band doesn't seem like they hate pit for "not doing anything". Besides, we have a challenging book with lots of pit features. And honestly, I love marimba and don't ever want to go into battey, but loading and pushing are the worst. At ussba hays last week, it was very hilly and we were pushing to the stadium. I was having to pull my finnicky Adams marimba by the cymbal bar to keep control. However, it popped off and my board swang into a battery that was dutting and waiting for our pit to go. Luckily I caught it just in time... The snare it almost hit never stopped marking time too.
