I misread your tagline

I thought it said sophomore 😭

Nope! I am a senior, Even if I may act like a senior citizen! I'm almost done with high school, and doing college prep things.

(Hey, college band kids, college students in general, how the crap do you prepare for this? Any tips, tricks and other wonderful things?)

Also!! I asked my groovy band teacher, and she mentioned that the alto and tenor Clef both point to Middle C! So the line between where the C's are stacked on the clefs themselves is where middle C should be!

Tf is the Difference between an Alto and Tenor clef

-New French Horn Player

So, I'm probably not the best person to ask this, because I don't really know, but from some quick research:

The alto clef is used primarily for viola, and middle C is place slightly differently,

And the tunnel clef is used for instruments like trombone and bassoon, and places its middle C differently.

Because I'm really bad at explaining placement, Here you go!

Also, here's some acronyms I made on the spot for if you ever decide that these cleffs are the way to go!

Alto: "I like your FACEG!" "Good boys don't frolic"

Tenor: "I DFACE a lot of property dude!" " Euphonium's got big dumptrucks."

Pspspspspspsps, your French horn calls you!

A melody you heard in a song that one time that you think you might be able to play, but haven't tried yet, calls you.

The feeling of your mouthpiece against your lips, as the buzzing fills your soul, calls you.

The part that still tears you apart, that you know you can triumph, calls you.

The French horn

Calls you

Aight imma practice on my French horn now can someone motivate me to do so instead of watching yt shorts 😚

Marching season is almost upon us, and I have assumed the older sibling role this year. That being said, here’s your older sibling reminding you not to bind during marching practice!

I know you may want to, but it’s seriously not good for you. I know dysphoria sucks; I’ve felt it before, and I’ve been one of those that didn’t listen to the advice of my older sibling figure. It leaves lasting effects on breathing, you could crack a rib, dislocate or break one.

If you want an alternative, possibly wear a tighter sports bra. NOT tight to the point where you can’t breathe, but sports bras work wonders when you can’t bind. I know dysphoria sucks, but your health comes first.

Last concert with my band mom coming up, things have been going well with infiltrating the band room :D

[torn-between-horn]

You know what, 14 days into 2023, and I have a genuine plan for breaking into the band room again.

Next Thursday, my band teacher should see a familiar face.

I was scrolling through r/AskReddit and found the question "The last thing you searched on Google kills you, how do you die?"

Guess how I die?

A PICCOLO SAXOPHONE.

Hey musicblr and bandblr, can we have a bandparent appreciation post?

For the folks who are genuine parents to kids on the band, who do things above and beyond to make sure that the band stays in working order, and occasionally gets their hands dirty by helping them out on the field when they can.

For the elder band kids, who looked at somebody and was just like, "yeah, you're my child now, deal with it.", And provide guidance and understanding to the younger player to help them understand how the heck to do the thing.

We love band parents here.
