Wow! That's really awesome! I wish my band was that good. I don't mean to brag but I'm the best player in the band.

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love Percussion! I always wanted to be in that section....I ended up in the woodwinds instead.

So, play any cool pieces?

Mmmm not really. Just "When Angels Weep" was pretty cool-ish.

All the pieces we played are in my siggy.

@Matthias=Its not bragging if its the truth. If you want to be the best, you have to think like you're the best. Thats what my director says. Thats why I have been section leader for 5 yrs now lol.

I love Greensleeves! I'm gonna have to look up the other two. Do you play aux. percussion or do you have a specific part or does it change from song to song?

It changes from part to part. For the march I play xylo, for Greensleeves I play marimba, and for When Angels Weep, I play snare.

Ah! I see! I take it you have enough percussionists, then? We have 6 percussionists and WAAAYY more than 6 parts, so they run around quite a bit in each song....literally....it's fun to watch! ;D

Well, I've always been the best, but I was never first chair. This year is my first year in first chair.

Trigoma

@IceFire=Lol well on When Angels Weep, we're running around like maniacs. But the other ones have less parts, so we're more stationary.

@Redwallgurl=Thats cool!

@Matthias=Go for first chair every year man. Its worth it in the end.
