Michael, if you are really interested on progres for your horn playing, quit your bad activity & concentrate on practice & preparation for the youth symphony activity. You band director has perhaps a peanut instead of a brain, so do the superiors. Every weekday two hours marching exercises ? I s that all they can think about ? And two hours without water breaks ? For drinking or for pee ? Or both ? If you complain aubout pee, well, at your age even pumpkin seed would not help, but diapers could - just joking.
Anyway, these marching show excesses using the school bands are an abuse definitely. ======================================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 5:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] Emphasis on Marching Professor Pizka, Sadly were I live in the US, the band emphasis tends to be more on marching season. Just having the students blasting out stand tunes, and doing the marching show. Going out every weekday in the south texas summer heat of 90F+ after school from 3pm to 5pm.....( and alot of days NO water breaks! About 85% of all the marching rehearsals in hot sun with no water break!) _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
