Welcome to Gaia! ::

46. Would you rather be a section leader or a drum major?
um...well, I kind of am a drum major. I don't think I'd want to be drum major in college though, I'd much rather be section leader - less work and more fun playing and marching (in my opinion, directing a show doesn't come close to marching in it). I honestly can't say what I would choose if I could go back and choose to be drum major or section leader (which I most likely would have been for a year or two if I hadn't been drum major). Drum Major has been difficult, but it has been worth it, I think.

48. Pep-band in the stands at a home game, or half-time show at an away game?
never done a half-time show at an away game. Our pep bands and shows are both at the same home game. I prefer the shows, if I'm marching, and I can't say when I'm directing.

50. Is it better for the sections (of the quiz) to be shorter?
sure? I'm a little too late for these questions I think

52. Do audiences at your football games talk throughout your halftime shows? icon_scream.gif
Yes! *growl* I don't think more than 10 people watch our show, and those 10 are all the band parents and perhaps a few devoted friends. evil Although I suppose a few watch - last year, when I dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow for our Pirates show, I had a lot of comments of "Jack Sparrow's hot!" when we were starting our shows (although you can tell they don't listen - the drum major's names were both obviously female, and these were girls shouting).

54. Do you play the same instrument for Marching and Concert season?
nope. mello/DM and horn/flute/trumpet

56. If you had to transfer out of band...would you go to orchestra or choir? (I would never let this happen...emo.gif)
I can't sing too well and we don't have an orchestra. If we did, I suppose I'd pick up violin or viola. However, I would DIE before I transfered out of band.

58. If you had to eliminate one section from the entire band, which section would that be? icon_gonk.gif
well...*laughs wickedly* I'd probably kick out the drummers this year. They're terrible! (no one here's from my band, so I can say this - I'd never say it to them) They can't keep a beat to save their lives. Our pep tunes have DIED!!! Seriously, they get so slow, I want to shoot myself! (not literally) And that's IF the percussionists can manage that kind of beat.

If the percussionists weren't an option, I'd kick out the trumpets (keep in mind I'm not really a trumpet player - I picked it up for fun and because I could play it easily). They all blast and they're definitely the worst section for musical ability (not counting this year's percussion). They were worse last year though. I was directing this one part of our show where everyone is standing still and the trumpets, at every practice, somehow managed to get ahead two beats when they got the melody and then everyone else would follow them and I would lose control of my precious tempo...
