Thats it I'm quiting the tenor section and joining the MSU Drumline.
Today in percussion class we got to warm up like the real drummers. I got to play snare drum first and that was super fun. Then I got to play cymbals and that was fun too. I hope I get to play bass drum soon that looks like a ton of fun! I got to wear the tenors on monday and boy are they heavy!
I'm tired of being ripped on for being a tenor. It's one thing for us to call ourselves the ass of the band but when other sections say it to us that is not cool. Especially if you dont even know us! When you don't know our names and you only know us by "the guy with the earrings" or "the girl with the short shorts" you can't talk. Then you are only judgeing by what you see from the outside looking in. I can only imagine what we look like from a distance or if you only hear one of our conversations and use that to judge us. Yes perhaps we air too much dirty laundry for the public to see. And we tend to be a rather dramatic group. But thats what makes us special. I wouldn't want to be in any other section. While we may talk and complain about each other we really are a tight group. We are one of the smallest sections in the band making us one the closests and I think its this fact that causes all the drama. We are 20 individuals connected by the simple fact that we play tenor in the smb, and this means alot. The tenors are that friendly face I like to say hello to on my walks around campus. They're the ones I sweat and work so hard with on the field. We party together. True I'm closer to some more than others but that's life :) So I guess what I mean to say is simply: I'm proud to call myself a tenor and I dont want to constantly be defending myself for this.
Today I practiced for one hour and fortyfive good minutes. and I mean good! That always makes for a good day. By the end I was literally on the floor playing my saxophone, Ask Adrienne she found me in this state.
