25 Thoughts Band Kids Have in Rehearsal
kentwired.com

Rehearsal is arguably the most essential factor in achieving cohesion and overall success as a band. However, the ability to stay focused in rehearsal is far more challenging than one might assume. Maintaining absolute concentration in any sedentary and seemingly endless situation can be tough, but band kids know this struggle better than anybody.

1. Alright, we can start tuning any day now.


2. Wait I think we're actually starting rehearsal on time...oh, nope, never mind.


3. Will that piccolo player ever be in tune?

Not gonna lie...probably not.


4. THAT BRASS THOUGH WOAH


5. Man, I messed that up.


6. Mental note: next time, remember to check the key signature.

It's fine. My ears are just bleeding from all the E naturals played instead of E flats, no big deal.


7. Maybe practicing more would be a good idea...


8. Wait, how many measures into the rests are we?


9. Whoever had this part before me is a comedic genius, wow.

Just friendly notes and reminders from whoever endured the part in the past.


10. Okay flutes, you can stop giggling now.


11. *Knocks into the stand while trying to complete an impossible page turn, resulting in the loudest sound ever heard by mankind* Oh man...


12. Well hello there cute trumpet player.


It's really a shame you've got that ego.


13. Hey, wouldn't it be cute if we had section shirts?


14. Wait, no, FOCUS.


15. I'm actually so hungry that I might die.

Is that my stomach or the timpani?


16. I wish I played a string instrument, so I could eat while I play.


17. Okay, so can someone explain to me how percussionists know how to play like 18 million instruments.

18. Oh, I missed my entrance...oops.

Psh, I'll totally get it next time.


19. Andddd that was an accidental that I did not play.


20. Oh here's the hard part...this is it...this is how I die.


21. Alright that wasn't horrible.


I can be proud of that.

22. Another musical pun. Good.


23. Could you maybe get it together clarinets?


24. WILL THIS REHEARSAL EVER END?!

My fingers are definitely bleeding.

25. Wow, rehearsal went by so quickly today!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
