  • Interests
    Oh boy here goes
    Reading (ofc), writing (fantasy is fun), music, be it listening (my playlist is 21 hours long), playing (I play marimba for marching band (as a section leader and Percussion Captain) and indoor drumline, and I play piano as well as of course the rest of percussion), or composing (I compose for piano, front ensemble, and I’ve recently started on lyrical songs too), I like animals and biology, but ants and myrmecology are both of particular interest to me. Science is just cool in general. I like stunt dueling. I love Epic the Musical, can’t wait for Ilium. Besides Sanderson I recommend Ranger’s Apprentice, also Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales are a fun way to learn history, I love Gary Larson’s Far Side as well. D&D is fun, clerics are a weeeeee bit broken (pov inflict wounds), I like ssbu (I main the dark link skin of link, yes ik I’m weird) and I also play games like Worldbox, TABS, and plague inc. I think that covers everything, lemme know if I missed a massive area.

    Today’s band drama:

    It’s a little long and complicated but it’s quite a story 

    So- the older news

    The staff member for front ensemble (my section) isn’t gonna be here during band camp (yeah, the 12 hours of band every day, that part)

    We didn’t have an instructor last year and it was bad. Being self taught wasn’t great. 

    Because of this, last year’s section leader who was supposed to be my co-section leader for front ensemble and Percussion Captain quit cuz that was really hard on her last year and she didn’t want to deal with it again

    Now, this kinda threw the whole structure into disarray. We figured it out, I’m the sole section leader of front now and Percussion Captain and it’s all good. 

    Now, the new stuff

    Yesterday she decided that she was rejoining actually and not quitting. Now, I didn’t mind, the more the merrier and she’s a good player that would benefit the group to have.

    However, this morning she learned that she wouldn’t be section leader or marimba 1 (highest seat and hardest music) so she got really mad and left her class to go fight the band director about it. Naturally she didn’t win but I don’t know the details.

    But like… what part of quitting do you think means you can randomly decide to come back last minute and be back as a leader? The entire point of leading is being dependable, what’s stopping you from changing your mind and quitting again? And what part of getting mad and confronting the director do you think is gonna help you, you’re not acting like a leader. 

    She was talking about how nobody deserved it more or did more for the section then her, and that may be true for last year but this line is mostly new and she hasn’t done much for this new group. Besides, you lose your right to lead when you abandon a group. The people you lead give you the power to lead them, consent of the governed. If you cut those ties when you quit, your group loses faith in you. Plus the section has been used to me leading until now, in a style far different from hers, it just doesn’t work that way

     

    Anyways, if any of y’all made it this far, have a fun fact

    Parking spaces are usually 162 square feet

    They do NOT feel that big

    No I didn’t waste 10 minutes researching parking square sizes dw abt it

      So, it was a test run of just combining. There is obviously three times as many  people in band as there are in strings
