#bread does band

Behold, the tuba player’s Halloween costume

So

Sososo

In band

I have these stuffed animals I’ll bring in- it was a thing in middle school, and I decided to do it again after some people brought em into music theory

It started with my small polar bear(length of an average hand I’d say) named snowball, and then I started taking the bigger one(size of a thigh, very squishy tho), first catch,(who actually belongs to my brother, but he doesn’t need to know about this)in.

My band director is a strange and wonderful man and would play with the stuffed animals during music theory, and so I kinda just let him lol

And then winter break rolled around, and I didn’t take snowball back before break. Break came and went, I thought I would see snowball again in class, but I didn’t. -it’s worth nothing my friend(gayass gf) got our BD another stuffed polar bear for Christmas- and then January came and went, and my gf and I figured he had just lost em or something

But then- come to find out when my gf had to go in his office the other day- HE JUST HAS MINE ABSOLUTELY VIBING NEXT TO HIS COMPUTER

Bury me

So in the polycule, I call the two guys with the same name my pogchamps(and they call me daddy but that’s not currently relevant)

And I get to school super early bc my bus has to make two runs and I’m on the first run

And all the band kids accumulate in the band hall, so I’m there first thing in the morning and I see everyone before they go to their classes

So my friend(my pogchamp) was walking down the hallway, so I decide to do my traditional greeting of screaming ‘THERES MY POGCHAMP’ at the top of my lungs and then get confused as to why my gayass girlfriend was laughing at me, turn around, and then whip back around when I realize that my band director was right behind me when I screamed it

It gets worse

I was telling my other pogchamp and some other frens about what had happened and said something to the effect of ‘yEa it was super embarrassing to scream ‘THERES MY POGCHAMP’ when our band director was right behind me’ and then proceed to die inside as I realize that the band director had just heard me yell ‘there’s my little pogchamp’ for a second time within 10 minutes as he was walking back down the hall

I died even more when he put up two fingers and said ‘that makes it a second time!’

So please

So my friend recently came out as trans, and everything’s been going well, the occasional accidental misgender, but everyone has been supportive

Only problem-

Her conservative grandparents came into town, and were going to be at our football game

So she told everyone to use her deadname and pronouns for the night, as to not tip off her grandparents to her being trans

Anyways, onto the story: at our school, the cheerleaders do this one thing at the end of just about every cheer where they go “Alright <school> we’re number 1 let’s take em down!” And it’s something me and my friend always do

But sometimes we don’t notice the cheerleaders because they’re really quiet, and I would normally call my friends name to get her attention so we could scream the cheer at the top of our lungs

But because of her transphobic grandparents, and me not wanting to misgender or deadname her, I had to do something else

This resulted in me verbally keysmashing at my friend at a high pitch to attempt to get her attention

We had our last marching band competition last night & we got first in visual, general effect, music, and colorguard, and then first overall for our class

The only thing we didn’t get first in was percussion, but even then we did stupid good on our last run
