so, ive been having a slight problem with Mr Vian about him not letting me play my alto. ive asked to play my alto everytime we get new music, and his response is to hand me an oboe piece and tell me that if i wanna play alto then i need to join jazz band. i wanted to join concert band, but vian wouldnt let me, cuz there are oboe solos in most of the pieces he's given out. altho, there was a huge oboe solo, more than like two bars, in a piece we played for our last concert, and he gave it to a trumpet, so what does he need me for? flute, clairinet, trumpet, and sax sometiems have oboe cues. and even if i joined concert band id still have to play oboe cuz there are too many altos already, and no oboes. so the only way i can play alto is if i join jazz. which im not gonna do cuz its a zero period, and i have problems getting up for a regular first period.
anyways, Mr. McCutchenne asked jess how i was doing the other day, and she responded by telling him i was stressed out and unhappy and whatnot cuz V wont let me play alto. so her his number and told her to have me call him. so I did. and he was all "do you want me to call him and talk to him?" and i said no, cuz hes all stressed out enough already, and he said that V should let me play alto on some parts and oboe on others, like he did when i was at Thurston middle, and i said yeah he dd, i never had any problems when i was with him, that i loved playing for him and loved playing oboe for him, and its not like that anymore. so McCutchenne decided that yeah, he was gonna call mr v tomorrow because and talk with him because "its not okay to treat your best players like that, you gotta keep them happy and let them play what they wanna play" so now Vian is prolly gonna think that i was whining and complaining behind his back, which i havent really been doing aside from saying "i miss playing my alto", and hes not gonna be happy with me and i dont wanna stress him out even more and cause problems. Mr. McCutchenne was not happy when i told him that i havent even been practicing my altho and was even thinking of selling it not too long ago. but it was really nice to talk to him, i havent talked with him for awhile. i also talked to Amanda today, me and tabby called her during band and talked for a little bit. not long cuz she was at work, i just said hi then tabby gave her the info for our competitions which shes gonna go to. oh boy, i just said "our competitions" its so weird, even tho im not actually on guard, i still consider myself part of it. hence "our" competitions. and i went to the band parent meeting tonite, and was basically a representative of the guard. anyways, im excited to see amanda, i havent seen her since the OSU competition in novemember.
i think im gonna go, ttyl.
