oh, i forgot to say, good job. Yes, drumline will be fun, what little experience i have was awsome (3 football games in middle school on bass and cymbals)

I should probably take this time to mention I am not a man XD


But thanks, you guys. I'm glad I took your advice. Practice is tonight, and I am so excited =)

Well I wanted to do DL this upcoming year for marching season only (I am primarily a trombonist... obviously... lol)
Well anyways I asked the BD and told him I was gonna get lessons and everything and he just flat out told me no.
We are a small small small band though... 1A,
and he said he didn't want to lose me on trombone

That's exactly what happened to me. Like, right down to what your band director told you, only for me, flute.

You should still try out, if auditions haven't happened yet. I did, and I'm so glad. =)

I went to "auditions" and I got kicked out because I play trombone, and apparently, the BD could really give a crap if I can do better on the line.

I prolly just drum before rehersals, after and during breaks, depending on what the situation is.

I need somethin to play besides electric wheelchair and swiss army triplets though...

Get the John S. Pratt "14 Modern Solos for contest" book, that will keep you busy for a bit. Also try getting your rudiments down, Just playing swiss army's and a watered version of electric wheelchair does not really help you in the long run.

As for making bass one, Congratz, He must think you've got some good chops, especially for bass one

Well, I also now have the real EW, but I will look through that book, and keep looking a my rudimental and quad logic books.

My metrenome is to loud and has no volume ajustment, and you can here it a couple houses up in this subdivision. The headphone are loud too, like turning an ipod all the way up, and the metrenome on my ipod is to quiet to here while playing, and I can't bring my pad out of the garage or my room to get to a computer, and I can't buy another off the internet and I my parents don't like music stores that much..]

But yeah, Ill keep lookin at stuff

Thanks. =)

Our band director didn't even go to auditions, and just left our instructor to make suggestions for him to either agree or disagree with. He's NEVER seen my chops. Oh, well. He certainly will this year. =D

Well, with bass one, that must mean you have some

I hope so. I finally got through an SCV piece that I used to not even want to look at for too long, so I guess I'm getting somewhere =)
