THE BOARD OF ED WILL BE CUTTING ORCHESTRA AND BAND DOWN. WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE A SEPARATE PERCUSSION/BAND CLASS, IT WILL BE TOGETHER. the 1 on 20 instruction will become 1 on 50. the chorus will be one full group that is a semester class, and show choir (dancing/singing) will no longer be offered.

ORCHESTRA IS EITHER GOING TO BE A FALL SEMESTER CLASS OR NOT A CLASS OFFERED AT ALL.

they have decided that the arts are not important enough to keep in school. students will need to choose between having ap classes that look good on a resume, or being in music.

…….im leadership this year

Pt 1: Batfam

Alfred: band director (middle school)

- The thought of Alfred helping young musicians start their music journey

- Taught all the bat kids how to play piano (Bruce included)

Bruce: Percussion program coordinator

- oversees percussion and audio design

- Arranges and writes perc music

- Def played mallets back in the day, took up audio when electronics were added to marching bands

- Was also probably an orchestra kid

Dick: Color Guard

- He’s so graduated already but he def went back to tech LOL

- Could spin a 7 on saber his sophomore year lowk

Jason: Quads (battery)

- joined percussion cause he “just likes to hit things”

- He rages when any wind player complains about instrument weight

Tim: Marimba

- him and cass keep the front ensemble from falling apart

- Lowkey likes playing vibraphone more

- Center marimba bb

Damian: Clarinet

- He’s still be in middle school

- I see him taking up oboe or smth in hs

- Would probably also take up mallets to “live up to Bruce’s legacy”

Cass: Xylophone

- the twins play the same instrument :3

- Shes def the tempo center point

- not enough hype for how stressful this position is

Steph: tenor saxophone

- she def fell for the careless whisper saxophone appeal

- Rest of batfam adopted her into their percussion world

- she plays vibraphone for indoor/winter seasons

Duke: Bass (battery)

- Lowk loves to play star spangled banner at football games😭

- every bass drummer I’ve met is the chillest person ever

Babs: Synth

- Babs is definitely also graduated, but she works at the HS as their audio person instead of music instructor

Like drum corps has

Forced proximity

Showering together (I mean literally, like 4 people will share a single shower head. You get used to it.)

Constantly busy and separated from other sections

Reasonable to be up at 4am having a conversation ranging from deep trauma dumping to which staff member would look best in drag

Forced proximity

Hot, sweaty, tan, SHIRTLESS people (even women)

Really high emotions

Similarly, extreme amount of stress

Forced proximity

Working out regularly

Basically living together but on the road

Performances (which I know is hard to romanticize if you don't do it but trust - love for people and performing is surprisingly simple to interweave)

Forced proximity
