Band

Now let me start from the beginning, my band marches. With me so far?
Well we don't care what the weather is like if there's a chance to march, we're there. Now i usually ditch the marches because i play the flute I'm like 1 of 13 flute players so nobody notices me gone.
Well recently our only base drum player quit playing the drum and so the directer of the band asked if any one in the woodwinds wanted to be the base drum for just one song, the one we marched with.
I'm sitting there thinking "wow what a great opportunity to stand out and really add something to the band" so being a woodwind i raised my hand and took the job.
Now i get up there and i have never played a base drum in my life and so i don't even know where I'm supposed to stand. I also don't have music, and all of the other drum players are very hateful and ignore me prob. because i replaced the old base drum player who was a good friend with a lot of the people there
So not only is the music very different looking from the flute music, i don't know what the symbols even mean. and nobody in the drums will tell me.
So that day i stay after school get my music and practices, and as a result i get pretty good.
And the next day we go outside and practices marching and bloody hell it was soooo... cold and windy, i mean so cold and windy that by the time i got back inside i couldn't feel my fingers or hands and they were all red.
Oh and to top it off the drum was so heavy that i have to lean back like a woman that's pregnant with a 30lb. child and because I'm taking yoga in school my back already hurts from all of the bending we have to do.
So its an excruciating hard ship that i have to do on my one true day off (Saturday) but some how it all seems worth it in a sick pain filled sort of way.
