None Of The Saxes Talk About Careless Whisper Tbh. Like Until I Got Into The Band Side Of The Internet,

None of the saxes talk about Careless Whisper tbh. Like until I got into the band side of the internet, I had no idea what careless whisper was.

BAND👏BUS👏CHAOS (Part 1?)

We've all been there.

The band bus.

Hordes of highschoolers/college/university students pile onto a bus for who knows how many hours and they travel to a far away place, be it for a training camp, workshops, a tour, or even a competition. We've all experienced the absolute madness that is the Band Bus.

I'm gonna spill my experiences with it.

So each year, there's the usual set up of:

New kids/year sevens/bus sick up the front with teachers and parents chaperoning. Year eights take up a tiny section in the middle-front. Then the year nines are the middle of the bus (most of us) with some grade eights and tens. Then the back of the bus is a shitstorm of the brass players of every grade and percussionists from every grade, along with any seniors from other sections. It's a madhouse. I'm towards the start of the roll, and usually the most eager to get on and seated, so I usually get a seat up the back with all the party-goers.

I'm from a tiny band of thirty to fifty players, so we squeeze onto a 64 seater with relative ease. There's never been a year where we've needed two buses.

You know that time when it's getting late, but you're almost to your destination, so you're all super excited that you can't sleep? That's the band every year. Everyone's hyped to get to the fancy hotel, or the cool PCYC (and possibly the beach before rehearsals), so there's music softly playing from someone's Bluetooth speaker, because the BD told everyone to shut up so the bus driver can navigate around the city.

I might do a part two to this, since there's more to the Band Bus than just the ride there! There's the ride back, the return trips from competitors to the hotel, there's all sorts of things!

JOHN CAGE

Our band teacher told us who John Cage was, and his deal with silent pieces.

So now, if she wants us to shut up, she'll shout "JOHN CAGE!"
