If you like the genre, you should really look into their album, "The witch's garden".Abandoned toys | | | | | | (woodwinds rock!) | | | | | |

I am a second year mused student at the Elder Conservatorium in Adelaide, and entered on classical alto sax. My first instrument was clarinet but took up sax when all our saxophones left high school and the concert band was dominated by clarinets and I've been there ever since. I played bari in the university big band last year (which was fantastic) and am starting to learn flute as a part of the mused course (i can play a bit like...trills, and two scales :D) So, hi! | | | | | | (woodwinds rock!) | | | | | |

I was first chair wind ensemble bassoon this past year, but this year, this girl beat me. Now, I know what you're thinking. Blah blah blah, poor little first chair. But hear me out, ok? Now imagine this girl: Alright looking, blonde hair, blue eyes, a little heavy, mom thinks she is an angel on earth and is convinced that she is better than everyone else. Due to this fact, Momma makes sure she gets everything she wants by throwing fits... Last year, when I beat her for first chair, she lied and told the band director that I had cussed her out, hence I had to "apologize" for something I didn't do >_<. She and I both play bass drum for marching season, and she had a "mood disorder" (made-up, mind you) that caused her not to be able to march more than half of the rehearsals (in fact, not even show up to half of them). So, the director told her she couldn't march at football games until she started showing up to practice. Did she start showing up? Hell no. So, UIL comes around, the MOST important marching show of the year, and little miss I'm too good for everyone else, still hasn't been to enough practices to know her sets. The directors, thinking for the sake of the band, pull her off of the show. Her mom from hell yells at the directors until they put her back in. So, not only do I have a personal vendetta against this girl, but I'm first chair WE and she's 1st chair Symnphonic. I practiced my ass of for All-State band and went to State Solo and Ensemble on my memorized solo, of which she did neither. I worked SOOOOOO hard this year while she sat back and did her make-up/hair during band class when she was supposed to be playing. Auditions come around and I play SOOOO well that I am COMPLETELY confident that I made first chair again... The day of audition results, this is not so. Lil' Miss Pain in the Neck has beaten me. Though I am VERY unhappy, I remember that we can challenge, so I'm temporarily okay with the situation. Our bass drum captain had to move to tenors, because of a lack of good drummers at our school. So the position of bass captain was up for grabs. Our director had two good senior choices, me and the other senior on the bass line. But who does he pick? Not either of the seniors, one of whom (me) is very very qualified. (I've been and executive officer for going on three years, I was pit captain for a year). No. He picks the inexperienced, junior, Lil Miss I Have a Mood Disorder so I can't show up for practice. HE PICKED HER FOR SQUAD LEADER! The girl that didn't show up to practices and would have been kicked out of the show for not knowing her sets, only saved by her mommy's bitching (pardon my mouth, guys). Does anyone else feel that I was jaded? I feel very cheated out of my position/honor in band curing my SENIOR year because of this girl. She's taken everything from me, despite the fact that I've worked VERY hard while she has slacked off... Lemme know what you guys think. | | | | | | (13 broken reeds | woodwinds rock!) | | | | | |
