I wanted today to be goof off day. An official break from all the shit-homework I have to do. I thought I just had one class - it was at 4PM. I skipped it. But then I remember ...."Oh shit! I've got orchestra rehearsal tonight from 7 to 9". I passionately hate orchestra. I play the trombone (gee, I hope the name TBoneFever didn't give that away for you); in an orchestra, the trombone section hardly plays. We play all these string-centric classical pieces. My section ends up counting measures the majority of the time (at least 85% of the fucking time!!!!)...it pisses me the fuck off. If I'm going to dedicate 2 hours of my day to playing in a musical ensemble, I need to play a majority of the time. The trombone section just get treated like extra baggage, that's it. We're extra baggage. The conductor treats us like extra baggage. He's a fuckhead cocksucking prick. All I'm trying to say is that he's irritating. So, the 15% of the time when we play (wow, I can subtract from 100!) he's always telling us how fucked up it sounded in front of everybody..."You need to learn your part, obviously you're not practicing." It's just embarassing because YES we do practice. With the lack of playing, we don't get enough time to warm up! After sitting and doing nothing for 15 minutes, he really expects us to come in without mistakes? We're not professionals, fuck that stupidass dickhead.
Okay, so tonight I've gotta go to that because we've got a concert coming up (Dec 2?). I'm a huge 24 fan. The show comes on Tuesdays at 9, so I end up missing the first 5 minutes everyweek. Tonight he wants the trombone section to have a sectional with this pro-boner player. He wants it to be from 8:30PM to 9:15! Fuck no. 24 is a lot more important to me than being in this stupid ass orchestra. I'm just gonna leave at 9PM. They can't really expect us to be dedicated to the group after they've frequently humiliated the section. After we don't even fucking play much. I'm sure the other 2 boner-players would agree that the orchestra doesn't even fucking need us. So, I'm leaving at 9 just like always. I'll play the right shit when the concert gets here. I'm not a fuck up. I'll contribute my perfection when it matters. Next semester, I will not being in orchestra. Being in a musical ensemble is suppose to be like therapy. A thing you can participate in to feel like you belong somewhere. You can blend your musical expression with other students to make something beautiful. Well, the trombone section doesn't contribute anything because they give us crap parts to play. It's not therapy, it's an annoyance. A waste of time. I will eliminate things that waste my time...those things will not be allowed to incubate. Fuck orchestra. (I'm also contemplating getting out of my little Jazz Combo...it's just making my Wednesdays too fucking long...I need a break...I need a break to do absolutely nothing...next semester will be great for me.) ¶6:22 PM e-mail me (0) comments (0) commentsBack To Blog top September 2002 / October 2002 / November 2002 / December 2002 / January 2003 / February 2003 / March 2003 / April 2003 / May 2003 / June 2003 / July 2003 / August 2003 / September 2003 / October 2003 / November 2003 / December 2003 / January 2004 / February 2004 / March 2004 / April 2004 / May 2004 / June 2004 / July 2004 / August 2004 / September 2004 / October 2004 / November 2004 / December 2004 / January 2005 / February 2005 / March 2005 / April 2005 / May 2005 / June 2005 / July 2005 / August 2005 / September 2005 / October 2005 / November 2005 / December 2005 / January 2006 / February 2006 / March 2006 / April 2006 / May 2006 / August 2006 / October 2006 / December 2006 / April 2007 / August 2007 / September 2007 / November 2007 / January 2008 / February 2008 / March 2008 / April 2008 /
