This is my first post on the blog, and I had no clue what to write. So, I asked the other bloggers for an idea. Sultan of Swing suggested I make a post about what band things I'm thankful for. Here goes!
Obviously, I'm thankful for my instruments. Now, I just so happen to be one of those people that names my instruments. My baritone is Poppy, my flute is Pippy, and my piano/keyboard thing is Parker. I'm getting my very first trombone sometime soon, and I'm thinking it'll be a boy... maybe I'll call him... Pete? Yeah, Pete sounds good.
Next... Flat key signatures. Is that weird? Probably. I hate sharp key signatures... With a burning passion. Why do sharps even happen? I'd rather call a note Gb than F#.
Next, my friends. My band friends are some of the BEST people I have EVER met. We spend so much time together, I talk to them more than I talk to my family. I mean, my guard girlies are cool, but my band bros take the trophy. If I hadn't started to talk to a few guys this season, I'd probably have quit marching band. This season was fantastic, and I wouldn't have wanted to spend it with any other band. I love my band friends, and I'm so thankful for them.
Have a great thanksgiving everyone!
FLAT KEY SIGNATURES are totally the best. Until you start playing Alto Sax, where flats are almost unheard of. :P
ReplyDeleteYou know what I hate? Obscure key signatures. Like those ones where you look at them and you're just like... "Shit, what is this?"
ReplyDeleteYou prove a very valid point...
