this one time, at band camp?

Apr 13, 2007 02:03

Yeah, I'm going to join marching band next fall.

I'm resisting the whole "McElroy ruined band forever" syndrome of many Aliso graduates. I think it has the opportunity to a) be a really cool experience and b) introduce me to a good, tight social circle, no matter how objectively dorky that social circle might be. [;)] Plus, I'll get to play for ( Read more... )

good for you. marching band is a lot more fun in college. everyone already knows what they're doing and they actually want to be there. totally different experience with no stress.

that's what i'm thinking/hoping. i know it worked out well for you, so it'll probably work out well for me too.

sounds fun. i don't really think i'll be doing marching band in college, but i'd be interested to hear what you thought of it. :)

you'd be surprised how much you miss it--but i'll tell you about it, for sure.

i think you are the second person (who i am in touch with) to do marching band in college from aliso. congrats? i'm not sure... haha i would be lying if i said i didn't miss it though

saxshackdan April 16 2007, 09:51:30 UTC

haha...thanks??

well, i would major in music, but i'm also trying to plan for my future and everything :P so i have to get my band fix somehow.

return to your roots :P. that's awesome man. tell me how that goes. and is it just me, or was marching band the most key/central thing in our pre-college lives? like it was what let us hang out all the time (cause we all had the same schedule) and meet the other 100 people in it because you all spend the same 20 hours a week on a football field, and it let us do what we really liked (music)..

ahh I miss it. good times all around.

exactly. it was basically the thing that my life hinged on for a good 6-7 years, including middle school. and it introduced me to most, if not all of my closest friends. beyond that, i love music, and i especially love playing music.

i'm only hoping to have as good an experience as high school truly was (despite the psychotic at the podium).
