Why are you here?

I'm a band geek. No denying it. I play Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Cymbals, and Tenor Saxophone. WIth learning how to play Quads.

But not all people are band geek like me. There is a fine line at my school between the good, the bad, and the show offs.

I am proudly to say I'm in the good portion, and I love it and want to Major in it. But when the bad meets the show offs you get an edgy situation

Ms. Flute leader (for now) Made that apparent to me today. It was a sectional during concert band.

Her show off(y) nature demoralizes people to the point of wanting to commit suicide. I thought they all exaggerated, I didn't care, I'm playing Bass Clarinet, quite far from her jurisdiction, but we had to combine sections today.
Ya guess who drew the shortest straw

Truth be told everything was all good in the hood. Her laugh made her cynical, and her saying girl to everyone, instead of using their name as in
"Hey girl."

Ya I already had the noose tied around my neck, only needed to kick the chair. But then she made a comment that made me want to trade in the rope for at the very least a very pointy object.

"You know, I love band and doing this. But I am doing this to make the band sound good. So if you don't like doing band, quit. I don't want you here. And if you suck, practice to get as good."

I was more shocked than angry. Ms. Conceded/crazy had no idea what happened. She thought she is Queen of the world. Only if she had saw all those dirty looks. I'm surprised that the Clarinet leader agreed with her.

Excuse me Misses but I thought we all learned this back when we were four but your supposed to think before you talk. We are a huge band. Not big enough to be split into two bands but still big. Next year when there is two bands then you could say that to people aren't practicing. We are now miced with people who are doing this just for the Fine Art credit, and apparently some are so sick of you that want quite.

So if the arm is sick do you cut off the body to make it better? No, you cut off the arm to make the body better. I think it is time I had a little chat with her about treating other people.

Or I could send her back to kindergarden. Which ever is easiest.
