#i still want to strangle my high school choirmates for all the time they wasted and the constant disrespect to the director

sleepover saturday talk about your biggest beef during any music rehearsals

anytime my instrument decides to go out of adjustment in the middle of a fucking rehearsal. last year a bridge pad fell off right before the fucking solo in tchaik 1 and NOTHING would speak whatsoever. fucking half a millimeter thick piece of cork ruined my entire night. or that time i had to play english horn on romeo & juliet overture and they gave me an instrument with a massive crack in the top joint. like what exactly do you expect me to do with this? hum my part?

UH but actually most of my shittiest memories in music rehearsals were from student music directing the shows at my high school. because when you're the only kid in the school who can play piano well enough to accompany an entire show's rehearsal process you get put in charge of running shit in 10th grade. but also when you're in 10th grade literally nobody respects you, including your classmates, so even when the actual directors tell everyone to listen to you when you're running the music rehearsals and trying to teach the ensemble their parts, fucking nobody pays attention, and you waste 10 hours of your life every week for three months wondering why you subject yourself to this bullshit every year

and the show/music was never worth it either lol. like i wasted so much of my life on fucking hairspray. never doing that again! call me when there's an oboe part or don't call me at all
