I’m a Band Geek

I have a band concert on Saturday. My band is playing Thus Spoke the Raven (based on the poem The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe) and A medly of Beauty and the Beast songs. I like the songs we’re playing, but our band is really bad and there are a lot of high notes. Luckily, we have a couple of good people in each section, and the first, second, and third chair trumpets are really good (me included), and I’m in the better jazz band. My jazz band is playing Singing in the Rain, The Girl From Ipanema, I Got Plenty Of Nuttin’, and Jungle Boogie. Beforewe start Jungle Boogie, awards are going to be handed out. I’m probably not going to get any because one of the awards the people in the band voted for, and that’s probably going to be for one of the percussionists, the other one is the director’s award, and that’s probably going to our oboe-ist (in jazz band probaly the bari-sax player). Anyways, Taylor, Will, and I are going to play our trio, so that’s pretty awesome. I just hope I can reach those low notes.

I’m a band geek and I’m proud of it!

Band dork. You haven’t risen to band geek status.
