Scratch

I play clarinet.

I'm not in a marching band though, just a concert band that marches in the parade once.

Ha, the band I am in had to memorize the music! I wasn't there though so I can't provide morale support except for 90% of people who were at the march came back alive 

only girls play flutes and clarinets in my band

except for jimmy fizzle but he doesn't really count

Ya all the flute players in my school are girls, but clarinets have a good amount of boys.

Any marching advice from those who have marched? I am horribly uncoordinated.

Keep your eyes on the feet of the person in front of you if you can, and try to find the marching beat in the songs you're playing.

You didn't get the music to practice at home?    That's horrible!

When I say that, what do you think? Most people say it is easy, but it is not when you have to keep in step to a beat, play an instrument, and look at tiny music all at the same time.

We weren't given the music to practice at home, and I don't have band between now and the parade on Monday, so I am really worried. I suck at marching, and I'm afraid of what may happen.

Also, we are not a marching band, but a concert band, so we only march once a year, with only a week to prepare, and this is my first year!

Discuss marching and its difficulties here.

Our schools band had an event at Six Flags where we had to play music, I wasn't there because it was Scratch day.

Also, our band won first place out of all the seven bands.

@ all the people who play clarient: WHOA! How many of us (clarienet players) ARE there on Scratch?? 0_o

I just do the Homecoming parade. Unless you are in a really professional band, everyone's gonna mess up some. We have trouble turning corners in sync    After you play the songs a couple of times, you'll probably be able to play it without looking at the music so you can watch were you are going (so hope the hard part to march in is at the end    )
