My family was murdered by angry flute players when I was 12. Thank you for bringing back those repressed memories.

my band camp experiences were in 6th and 7th grade and are on the whole, completely unremarkable. I knew two people out of the hundreds there, which isn't enough critical mass to attract more people, really.

We did go on a ghost hunt and found a chalk drawing saying 'TURN BACK NOW', which was pretty great at the time.

All Region was slightly more fun, but similarly uninteresting. I'M SORRY I'M SUCH A BORING PERSON.

[the best time was at all state tryouts when me and this guy from Region I were sitting on this concrete block just talking until results came up, and we would be like 'OMG THEY POSTED FLUTES?' to see how many people would run up]

I liked being in band until I got into high school. Then marching band was required. Screw that. I was forced to waste my summer and some of the first semester on that crap. I hated it. The band teacher was a slave driver. Not to mention, at the end, he said he'd never leave us, because we're a team!


...that is, until he got a better offer at a different school. :rolleyes2

I don't like band kids because they were disrespectful to the chorus kids, in High School. They thought they were better, because they had to do a WHOLE two weeks of band camp in the summer, despite the fact that they were terrible and the chorus was far better. Singing is NOT easier than playing an instrument.

It is when you have to keep in step in a ridiculous formation, remember what notes to play, manage your breath, and keep time all at once, all while wearing a hot and restricting uniform that, frankly, looked stupid.

I've never heard of a marching choir. :p

Yes, I know you weren't speaking in that context, but still. ;)

Actually, the arrogant and disrespectful ones at my high school were the choir kids. :p
