Re: Chairs, and why they bug me.

Quite bluntly: Suck it up and don't whine - high school band is relatively meaningless.

In the over all picture of life (and musical) experiences, high school band, for most people carried little or no weight and certainly had no bearing to later success or failure.

There will soon come much bigger challenges, both personal and academic. High school decisions will be petty by comparison.

Did we all have to make musical choices in high school? Were many of the days (weeks) in band less than pleasant? Were we scarred for life? Did we all somehow live to tell about it?

For some, like myself, high school band is just a distant memory, not because of years gone by, but through more substantial and formative musical experiences which followed.

Sometimes it is like the "can't see the forest for the trees" analogy. In a few years, when firmly entrenched in college, this seemingly major problem will be nothing more than a mild annoyance...GBK
