Things are getting more interesting talent show wise. We practiced today, for maybe a half hour and without Rob. We don't know if we will be able to practice again before the show. We didn't once get through a whole song. Dave cannot play what he is supposed to play at all. And he cannot improvize so well. And he is going to try to play it as written even if he doesn't know how. He has done it before, and he has made us worse.
"It's alright," said Noah. "Remember last year's talent show, when we had the percussion jam with Rob and Jay and a bunch of random people on drums?"
"Yeah."
"We were originally going to do something else. But we decided it was a good idea right before we went on, and we grabbed a bunch of random people out of the hallway and gave them drums, and it worked out fine."
"Wait, that wasn't planned at all?"
"Well, we had like five minutes." (Serious stare)
Oh well. It is nice to play with a really good jazz drummer for once. Greg's a good rock drummer who just temporarily put up with Julian. Noah plays jazz almost exclusively, and he's amazing at it.
He is weird though. This summarizes Noah's personality pretty well:
Mr. Casto: Does anyone have a metronome on them?
(pause, followed by laughter)
Mr. Casto: Well that's a reasonable question. Some musicians do carry metronomes with them, it's not like I asked, 'does anyone have a rolling pin on them?' Noah, I don't want to see your rolling pin!
Jazz band went pretty well. I can pretty much play everything now. I can even play some stuff better than Dave, although this is probably mostly because he is first trombone and I am third. But it also could be that I'm less cocky and therefor practice more.
I am too socially retarded to compliment Julian on what he did Friday. The performance keeps coming up, and I keep thinking, "Come on you idiot, just say something nice. Can't you say anything nice without it sounding forced and awkward, and getting all stressed out about it beforehand because you're afraid people might think you have emotions and like people?"
The answer, apparantly, is "No."
Also, Dave openly stared at me ALL DAY TODAY. That is all.
