Easter egg for office workers: if you go onto Excel and press ctrl+left, then ctrl+down, you will reach cell XFD1048576. If you put a dot in there, then ctrl+A and fill every cell in black, you can then print 34 million black pages from your office printer and get fired
Now I’ve never played oboe (my sister has) or bass clarinet for that matter so take this with a grain of salt.
That seems like it’d be a pretty big change if you’ve never played bass clarinet before changing from a double reed to a single reed and also how loose you have to be for lower instruments. It might be easier to start with soprano clarinet since it’ll have similar music to oboe, you wouldn’t have to be as loose in your lips, and it’s also just a lot lighter.
band people, i am considering switching to bass clarinet for marching band next year, what do y'all think
Listen if you die we’re going to have to march with a hole the entire season so take care of your bodies
another reminder as I go to my first day of band camp - don't die. I can guarantee pushing yourself until you die will not help your section. most times it will hurt them. if you hurt your ankle in drill - take a few reps off. if you are in actual danger of throwing up or passing out, take a little break. drink some water. stretch out your hands, percussionists. it's to no one's benefit if you can't function
so this morning i was playing with the slow-mo mode on my phone, hoping to get a majestic vid of a bumblebee taking off
but instead i found this dumbfuck
I just finish a book called The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill and it was very very good much enjoy
10/10 would recommend
Definitely sad it’s over though
Our first football game was an away game and the stand were far too small for us and I realized that the reason was that the school was expecting a marching band that was a similar size to them which looked like 30-40 people.
We have over 70 people.
