#percussion section

[i-m-abett]

Percussionists please listen

Man you know marching band might have stolen four years of my life and I still have nightmares about it ten years later but

This song would make such a slapping percussion section warm-up oh my GOD

I wish I knew how to write music lol

All the parts are there!!! Pretty much

Like the marimba part would be the most complicated (but certainly not impossible for high schoolers) I think and idk if the snare stuff is easy or hard but it's already written in there as the typewriter and I lov e this song

Vibes/bells would have it pretty easy which is better for beginner players anyway

Idk about the rest though

Anyway just wanted to share ;-; I would send it to my old percussion instructor because he's a master at writing / transcribing but he ended up being a creepy PDF file :') rip

Somebody suggested I do a gayest section of the band poll.

Over time I will release a bunch of individual polls (per instrument, mostly) asking if you are a player of that instrument and LGBTQIA+ or not. And I'll have a results option. For now, let's form a hypothesis.

I think Church on Ruby Road has finally firmly cemented my opinion that Murray Gold should not have come back.

No such thing as a virginal percussionist, all they have to do is say "let me drum-fill you up bbygrl 😏" and they can fornicate to their hearts desire

I want a band geek!Steve/Stobin AU where the Hawkins High marching band is actually reasonably well respected/popular (the football team sucks, meanwhile the marching band continually wins their competitions and their half time shows are entertaining enough on their own to warrant attending the games).

Steve plays the trumpet, and he's *okay* at it, but the only reason he's even as high as third chair by sophomore year is because the band director likes him. When Robin joins the band as a freshman she is insulted because she's fourth chair, but she is categorically the better trumpet player and the only reason Steve Harrington is a chair ahead of her is because he has a shiny new instrument in contrast to her secondhand one.

But it's kind of impossible not to start liking someone when you share a music stand with them, and the wind up striking up an odd, bickering friendship. When Steve realizes that Robin's coordination problems mean that she has a hard time staying in formation for their routines, he offers to help her in exchange for trumpet tutoring. (Robin still remains by and far the better player, and Steve eventually manages to convince Mr. Krupka to bump Robin up to third chair.)

The two of them become both insufferable and inseparable. They ride to all their away games together gossiping and giggling in the back of the bus, and have absolutely no boundaries or decorum.

Robin ends up coming out to Steve after a game one night when they're changing out of their uniforms in the girls room, stoned out of their minds on some edibles that Eddie brought.

Open letter to the saxophones in my band:

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET OUT OF THE PERCUSSION SECTION AND STOP PLAYING WITH THE PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS YOU FUCKING CRETINS.

Hearing loss sucks. Tinnitus sucks. Wear ear protection kids (and adults - I have finally started wearing ear plugs to concerts now that I'm in my 30s and dealing with consequences).
