<p>What is your marching show? Umm... I didn't even know that people had shows. My (horrible) band teacher has been picking the same 2 pep tunes for everyone to play. One year they tried to coordinate us and actually get us moving on the field but it was impossible, so now we're back to everyone standing in a straight line.</p>
<p>What are your favorite concert pieces? One year we had a really fantastic teacher and he picked Candide, which was the first time I didn't play some fanfare, march, or prelude in band. But he left at the end of the year...</p>
<p>What instrument(s) do you play? Flute (piccolo also for nyssma)</p>
<p>Anything else neat about your band? It might be one of the worst high school bands in the state. The towns surrounding us are all music crazy but somehow we missed out and we only have a tiny section of the school whereas those schools provide actual space.</p>
<p>Obviously I'm not really liking the system at my school. Somehow, with teachers getting pregnant or leaving, I've had the same teacher for 5 years (not consecutive) and I'm ready to quit but need to stay in it if I want to make all-county or all-state. Grr...</p>
