Nancy08 Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 ...concert? *GASP* Yeah, I know. I like marching season, but between my back injury and switching back and forth between bassoon and sax...it gets frustrating. However, nothing can compare to the feeling you get after you've had the best show ever. I just like playing bassoon better I guess... Quote
T-ratbowieband Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I agree. i like both, but marching band is much more exciting. Quote
clarinetrocks Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 T-ratbowieband said: I agree. i like both, but marching band is much more exciting. uhh yeah marching is more exciting! i'm already bored right now! why cant it be june again! Quote
bossman Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 this time of year is dumb to me cuz the directors throw about 14 sheets of music at you and expect u to learn on your OWN time. Quote
clarinetrocks Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 i totally agree with you *concert music *ensemble *solo grr! Quote
bossman Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 i think they get a kick outta that too, cuz they can kinda relax more while we struggle Quote
clarinetrocks Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 i know and once we get it there like no...your not doing this right blah blah blah rawr! Quote
clarinetrocks Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 well it doesnt suck its just .... well boring Quote
takigan Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I'd say I'm split between the 2 now leaning more towards concert season, but back in High School I gave serious thought to dropping out of band in the Fall and rejoining in the Spring bc I didn't like Marching Band at all. When I was an alternate and realized alternates get to sit in the shade the whole time and do nothing, I couldn't understand why everyone else wouldn't just say "screw marching" and come sit in the shade with the rest of the alternates. I had no idea they actually enjoyed marching. It didn't make much sense to me, but Georgetown was strictly a UIL band back then (you could count the number of "visuals" we had in our show on one hand--yeah) and most people didn't even know what a drum corps was....so yeah, marching band was never a "fun" experience to me.

chickora Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I'm indifferent with most people by saying 'marching band pwns'. It truly does, but I also love concert season because my band director even has more witty/funny comments to say by insulting people in our band. Now that's always fun.. -making fun of people. Who doesn't do that? Quote
TRtrumpet Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 So far i'm not liking concert season very much. Hopefully it'll get better. Our music is ok-ish tho. Quote
bored2damax Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I really hate marching season. I think that it has been pointless and not fun for me. I tried to quit this past year, but my Bd made me stay and i thank him for that. Im really love concert season. Its really fun and challenging. I think it depends on what school you go to whether you like marching or concert season. For me marching season has been really easy and it got really boring really fast. Thats why i wanted to quit. Concert season on the other had has been really fun and challenging. It has keep me up my toes. I think that my BD understood what the top band wanted this year because everyone is actually playing hard parts especially the low brass. This is just my opinion. I really love watching great bands march though. So dont get me wrong or anything. Quote
bossman Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 i agree with you, cuz if you go to a small school that's not really marching oriented u'll like concert season. Quote
clarinetrocks Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 well like all depends on how your directors make the season feel like some people like marching because of the fact of being with everyone in the band...other people like it because its more challenging to them and its more competitive...but some people like it because the directors seem to understand you more during marching season...cause they know that you have marching and school and work and stuff and like they help you out (sometimes) lol! but like during concert season its like more laid back you dont have to be out in the sun...you dont have to stay after school as much...and you dont have to worry about like A LOT of competitions...all you have on your mind is solo and ensemble and of course UIL Quote
artishard Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 i love concert season, through and through. i don't enjoy sweating a lot, and i love concert music better Quote
