    Just sharing:
    I was first grade in high school, joined concert band as a freshman. I belonged to percussion section, and trusted to played accessories. After a month, we have our first concert at city station. As long as I practiced, I was told to use a soft bass drum mallet to hit the gong, and told to hit it really hard. I have a gong hit (about mf) on 3rd bar of our first song. At the show, I was told to use real (hard) gong mallet. And as a good freshman, I did what I should. Next what I heard was the loudest gong sound I ever heard. I panicly muted the gong. At home, I listened to the recording and heard that my gong sounded so loud that the rest of the band can't be heard. What an embarrassing and unforgettable first experience.

      @@Deus_Vult7 right! Last yeae we had a confusion with this one section in movement 3 and 4. Movement 3 there was a part where battery a drum break. Basses and i had a problem with who's playin' what because we a had a 6/8 and a 7/8 thing and this 6/4 thing goin' on in like 6 maybe 8 measures of those. Basically we were playin' over each others splits or not playin' our splits and then 4th movement we had a weird thing where they replaced this one very SMALLLL part where its like a unison but only me(bass 3),bass 4 and 5 are playin' a triplet but the problem is, me or one of the other basses are only playin' that and tye other 2 arent because we kept forgettin' they CHANGED that. Even durin' the SHOW we STILL didn't play it and yet it was fine apparently. So yeah we had a lot of problems last year especially basses(tenors had choreography problems and snares would be rushing 16th notes, the usual)

The only time ive heard of someone playin' "clean" notes is when this drumline i watched with my drumline group do this snare feature and a huge bass feature of who knows how many measures of bass splits they had.

When I spoke up the whole band put on a little trial complete with witnesses testifying that I was the problem. Fun times.

    I am in 8th grade and I play alto saxophone. I recently auditioned for all sate and district band. I passed to the second audition with like a 91.5/100 (that's a pretty good score in my opinion) I did not make it passed the second round, however I did make district. Got cut from all state but I think for my first audition experience it went pretty well.

    Nothing is funnier than watching someone who knows what they're doing trying to act like they don't.

    It wasn't for drumline, but I remember for an honor band in middle school and there was auditions for a chance to play for a composer. I was cut because my instrument had a screw missing

    I made the wind ensemble at my high school as the only tenor saxophone and I am now moving out of state a week before festival starts.
