Admin Fred.

So sadly our beloved band teacher Mr. White will be leaving us for another school, his replacement -- Mr. Dudley will be replacing him in 2014.

Darn but you know Mr. Dudley's planning to make senior band a morning class - I can barely wake up for choir though...

In other news, we're finally playing a pop song in band from the musical "Wicked". (Original cast member includes Indina Menzel! Oh my god Elsa!)

Yeah, I hate cut time.

Mr White: "It's funny how the Fluties (flute players) have the low, deep voice while the tuba players... *high pitched voice* 'hi Mr White!'"

That's right: fundraiser time! We're selling chocolates, which I find ironic. I mean, we can't eat chocolate before we play because it would damage the instruments, but we're expected to sell it for band...

Aaaaaaanyways- the chocolate is tasty- Purdy's milk chocolate and dark chocolate. I'm selling two cases because of Choir and Band, but thankfully I don't have to sell for  Jazz Band and Jazz Choir. 

Also: anyone watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

remember that episode where the band chocolates made all the adults act like teenagers? Almost makes me not want to sell to my parents... 

teenage Giles was entertaining.

Now here's a question for anyone reading this: what do you think is the most convenient way to sell chocolates? I'm really bad at talking to people so I don't think door-to-door would work well for me...

Make sure you watch the video!

Hello, Admin Fred here.

Recently, as most of you may know, I have started to play the tuba. 

I am doing pretty well actually.

I know right?

Anyway, we're now playing British Isles Suite, Fa Una Canzona, The Last Battle and St. Thomas.

I'm so used to playing the melody that playing bass is really difficult for me to grasp.

Here's where I ask all you musical people for help! 

Homework: Teach Admin Fargle how to play St. Thomas properly and tell Admin Fred some tips for the tuba.

Submit tips and "homework" click here, and if you need help on handing in homework, click here

I will also post them  & reply to them, help is appreciated! 

Now I also have a playing test for band I need to practice for, so toodle-loo! 

I've stayed true to my little promise last year.

I am playing the tuba.

And I'm just going to say that...

This is the hardest instrument. Ever.

I respect all you tuba players out there, what you do is not as easy as it looks.

But! I will not give up, even though I have thought about going back to the clarinet.

Here I go.

Wish me luck guys.

Howdy y'all!

Admin George found out what her homeroom is for this year.

It's band.

Sadly, George and I are not in the same class.

It's going to be interesting being in different band classes.

But of course, my band class will be cooler than hers because I have Kevin, Rani and other kool kats in my class.

Sexy.
