Re: Happy birthday!

A very merry un-birthday to me! by PitViperOfDoom on 2010-08-20 20:09:00 UTC Reply

...is what I'd be saying if not for the fact that it is the seventeenth anniversary of the day I was born.

And, thanks to my high school's rigorous marching band program, I get to spend eight hours of it practicing! Joy.

Cake and goodie bags for all!

Hmm... I'm pretty sure I've already given you a scarf, and you've gotten a K-9.

So, I guess I'll give you a curly wig, model TARDIS, and another bag of jelly babies.

I loved marching band. I wasn't very good, but I loved it. With all that practice you all must be serious competitors at competitions!

Good luck for all of them that are coming up this year.

We practice... a lot. In summer band camp before school starts, it's eight hours a day on weekdays for one week, then ten hours the next week, and then when school starts we have four hour Tuesday rehearsals, the front ensemble percussion (of which I am a part) has three-hour Thursday rehearsals, and eight-hour Saturday rehearsals. And, of course, we practice during school band periods.

It's a tough schedule, but not for nothing. My school has been in a first-place winning streak for over a decade now.

Thanks!

Thanks for the goodie bags! Here's an oboe-care kit.

I play flute, but I refused to be in marching band, so I had to play all on my own during high school. :(

What? You want presents?
Fine. Have a Random Object of Rassilon. (It's probably a fish. At least, it looks like one.)

Have a zombie trumpet player (he doesn't quite have the lungs for it, but he's not too bad) and half a cup of tea. *cuts a teacup in half*

And have fun playing music (what instrument?)!

Re: Joyeux anniversaire ! by PitViperOfDoom on 2010-08-21 03:11:00 UTC Reply

Well, for regular concert band I play the oboe, but for marching band I'm on synthesizer (sort of a fancy electric keyboard-thingy).

And lucky me, the teacher heard it was my birthday and let us out early.

Cool! I play the violin, although not terribly well; oboe and English horn are two of my favorite instruments.

Hooray for birthday gifts from teachers!
