ive said it before and ill say it again: astrological signs, meyers briggs, uquiz tests; all fake bullshit that have nothing to do with someones personality. but the instrument you played in highschool band/orchestra? that shit’s realer than math. youre branded for life. i may not be able to guess which instrument you played but as soon as you tell me itll IMMEDIATELY make sense

The small things
Looking back on @jackalopiel‘s post, I just want to add onto it because same!!! The small things are so nice. Not the big picture, the tiny details you’ll mention once in passing and never again but that really shape who you are. Tell me some mundane, small things about yourself, please!! I’ll start:
I really like KitKat but I rarely ever buy it because something else always catches my eye.
I’ve played flute for a while but I still write down the letters for the notes because I’m bad at playing and reading notes at the same time.
I really like library books and I always have some borrowed but I keep forgetting to return them.
I really like the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino, but my country doesn’t sell them so I drink the Cookies & Cream Frappuccino instead. Your turn!
I heard a man say that listening to Jethro Tull made him feel like a goat.
Always, she was dancing😌💃💜

Listen I don't know what that is but it's concerning-
Flute vs Clarinet vs Oboe - What squeak makes you want to shove your head in a sand pit the most?
Flute: Fix your embouchure, fix your position, what ever you were doing wrong p l e a s e fix it.
Clarinet:
"It's probably my reed."
"Why you lyin... why you always lyin..."
Oboe: please stop summoning Satan, it's disturbing the flutes.
Piccolo:
My head was in the sand as soon as they pulled out a piccolo. We don't even have one in the band so I just avoid it.

Wassup ya'll, I'm actually practicing after a month.
Yes I am a flute intentionally playing the oboe part.
Guess the song.
P l e a s e.
*ugly sobbing*
Me? Practicing two nights in a row? It's less likely than you think, but hey, I did it this week.
Also, I'm gonna start a practice diary of sorts. The tag is #LilFlutesPracticeDiary because I'm basic asf.
I warmmed up with the b flat major scale, and a 2 line warmup called The Crusaders, then moved on to piece study.
Ok, today's pieces that I'm focusing on are Fever, and Saxes Will Rock! Fever is a well known song (I think?), and a few years ago, we actually had someone sing the song with the band! Saxes Will Rock! is, as the title suggests, a piece that features the saxophone section. In my school's band, the saxes come forward, and make a line at the front, or up on the stage (we perform on the ground half the time), so their part can be projected to the audience more.
I don't use my stand because it's one of those stands.
Day t h r e e of practice? Is this real?
Usual b flat major scale, and Crusaders as a short piece. Played a piece that I've been playong since grade seven, the almightly Shackleford Banks. Got it in grade seven, didn't have it grade 8, played it in nine and apparently we're playing it this year? Sure. I can dig it, as the kids would say.
I looked over Mama Mia, tried to play it with the actual song, gave up after five seconds.
I have my first rehearsal for the year tomorrow, which means I'm going to badger the bd for a chance at the oboe again. Wish me luck!
composing is hard and i want none of it
My Band Gear!!
Nobody asked for this post, but I wanna show off my minimal gear, so here goes nothing!
Obviously I've got my flute, I can't remember if I named her or not, but I think my friend suggested "Flutesica Tooting" (that, or I saw it on here somewhere). Either way, her name is Flutesica. Say hi to Flutesica! She's a Yamaha 221!
Lil clip-on tuner! It's kinda useless, since I have to play the note, then quickly look to see where I am, if I'm alone. I don't take it to my normal band rehearsals, since the school has a box of tuners that we all share, but it does the job when it's needed. It's great on band camp!
My flute stand! This is the second one I've ever had, I bought it last Saturday. The first one I got on my first High School Band Camp in 2016! The BD bought it for me, I felt very special 😂
If anyone wants to buy it, it's a BG Franck Bichon stand. It cost $14.95 AUD.
My case, and the case's case. Nothing much to say, it holds my cleaning cloth/rod, and polishing cloth.
And last, but not least, my band folder! The piece you see on the front is what I'm performing for a showcase this Friday! I'm so excited!!
And that's all! If you'd like to hear a clip of Shackelford, leave a comment or rb! Thanks for reading!

WOOHOO!
We went to the local eisteddfod last night, and out of three bands, we got second place! The other two bands were from the same school (our rival school), so I'm really happy that we managed to best one of them!!
And tonight... is Showcase. I'm kinda scared?? I'm playing a solo!! Hhhhh. Shackelford Banks means a lot to me, I hope I can pull it off!!
