Unfortunately, it's been super busy this year. Mainly because I'm my band's percussion leader! I was SO EXCITED when my instructor made me percussion section leader!!!! Our last section leader was a senior, so I was chosen as the new one, which was partially not a surprise but also a giant one! It partially wasn't a surprise because out of all of the percussion section, me and our former section leader were the best players, only ones who can play the trap set, and we almost NEVER missed any band function, including early morning practices, pep band, etc.
BUT, it was a giant surprise because of one big thing:I'm a sophomore. It is SOOOOOO WEIRD being in charge of upper class men. SO WEIRD.
Originally, it didn't sound like too much of a difficult thing, but trust me, it's tiring. My band instructor gives a huge amount of responsibility to our section leaders, like sometimes he'll have us run rehearsals while he works on something else. Like for the whole class period. Which gets a lot done, but it's challenging.
That's why I've been pretty much nonexistent on here. I don't like to be!!! It's marching season and it's crazy busy. It'll calm down around...October??? End of October???? Somewhere around there. So yeah, I DO check FA quite a bit, but I haven't gotten around to being that social on it.
