Me (8:08:53 PM): only not
Cassandra (8:08:58 PM): not having to wait till may is pretty sweet
Me (8:09:14 PM): I'm going to freak out next year when it's over
Me (8:09:50 PM): and then I'm probably just going to be in a college band
Cassandra (8:09:59 PM): mhmm
Cassandra (8:10:09 PM): i am gonna be one of those band kids that comes back to visit alot
Cassandra (8:10:09 PM): haha

Me (8:10:40 PM): do you know?
Cassandra (8:10:48 PM): all that will be left is noah, sarah and amy
Cassandra (8:10:49 PM): no..
Cassandra (8:10:51 PM): she is too afraid
Me (8:10:55 PM): too bad
Me (8:10:59 PM): I was rooting for her
Cassandra (8:10:59 PM): but i told† her i really want her to dgo for it
Me (8:11:08 PM): I dunno
Cassandra (8:11:10 PM): and she might her senior year
Me (8:11:17 PM): oh, that's what I meant
Cassandra (8:11:25 PM): i just figured that out
Cassandra (8:11:26 PM): haha
Me (8:11:31 PM): there are some other good underclassmen
Me (8:11:40 PM): Tuba Kid
Me (8:11:45 PM): um
Cassandra (8:11:45 PM): but ya.. i am trying to convince her.. she is relly good.. and knows what she is talking about..
Cassandra (8:12:07 PM): i can't see alot of them being in leadership positions though.†
Cassandra (8:12:10 PM): maybe tuba kid
Cassandra (8:12:19 PM): but.. alot of the freshman are aaaaagh
Cassandra (8:12:20 PM): haha
Me (8:12:25 PM): yeah, I know
Me (8:12:33 PM): I feel like none of the drummers are serious now
Cassandra (8:12:38 PM): ya
Cassandra (8:12:46 PM): zee is wicked upset abotu it..
Cassandra (8:12:54 PM): drumline has gone all down
Cassandra (8:13:03 PM): they don't hae that family thing going on anymore
Cassandra (8:13:05 PM): alot of hate now
Cassandra (8:13:12 PM): especially between everyone and greg
Cassandra (8:13:21 PM): it's upsetting
Me (8:13:32 PM): yeah
Me (8:13:40 PM): it's mostly greg's fault
Me (8:13:41 PM): I think
Cassandra (8:13:49 PM): it is
Me (8:14:16 PM): but I also feel like it's become okay not to be a serious drummer
Cassandra (8:14:17 PM): the attitude and respect in general of the whole band seems to have gone wicked downhill
Cassandra (8:14:21 PM): exactly
Me (8:14:29 PM): see, but then I think
Me (8:14:36 PM): what if the seniors thought that about us?
Me (8:14:48 PM): I mean, we were probably kind of eehhh as freshmen
Cassandra (8:15:22 PM): i don't think they did.. our freshman year and stuff.. there was a lot more expected from us..
Cassandra (8:15:40 PM): and we couldn't get away with as much as the freshman did this year
Me (8:15:51 PM): we had amazing leaders
Cassandra (8:15:55 PM): we did
Me (8:16:16 PM): I think that's what it's about
Me (8:16:27 PM): I guess we'll just have to try to be amazing next year
Cassandra (8:16:37 PM): mhmm
Me (8:16:38 PM): re-raise the expectations
Cassandra (8:16:39 PM): scared
Cassandra (8:16:42 PM): exactly
Cassandra (8:17:08 PM): we need to let them know.. "hey.. we expect you to be your best.. we expect to not goof off.. and we expect you to respect and listen to us"
Cassandra (8:17:49 PM): i am worried about the twins and joe.. and john and pete..
Cassandra (8:17:59 PM): they have no sense of authority..†
Me (8:18:00 PM): Joe's quitting
Cassandra (8:18:03 PM): really?
Me (8:18:05 PM): yeah
Me (8:18:08 PM): too much pressure
Cassandra (8:18:08 PM): football?
Cassandra (8:18:10 PM): ah
Cassandra (8:18:12 PM): wow
Me (8:18:12 PM): see, I liked him
Cassandra (8:18:13 PM): okay
Cassandra (8:18:19 PM): he wasn't so bad..†
Cassandra (8:18:26 PM): i think the twins brought out the bad in him though
Me (8:18:29 PM): yeah
Cassandra (8:18:38 PM): they had a "you can't tell us what to do attitude" and he adopted it
Me (8:18:44 PM): Chris is better than Jake
Me (8:18:55 PM): I'm hoping he'll shape up
Me (8:18:58 PM): intead of quitting
Me (8:19:00 PM): Jake...
Cassandra (8:19:04 PM): i can't tell the difference.. jake is the trumpet?
Me (8:19:05 PM): I don't even know why he does it
Me (8:19:08 PM): yeah
Cassandra (8:19:11 PM): ah..
Me (8:19:17 PM): maybe it's just because Chis is in my section
Cassandra (8:19:33 PM): so he listens to you more
Me (8:19:42 PM): I dunno
Cassandra (8:19:46 PM): i am glad i got good freshman haha
Me (8:19:51 PM): I feel like I was kind of too timid this year
Cassandra (8:19:55 PM): mm
Me (8:19:58 PM): because I had no official authority
Cassandra (8:19:59 PM): i was a little too..
Me (8:20:00 PM): at all
Cassandra (8:20:03 PM): ya
Me (8:20:29 PM): have you talked to adam?
Me (8:20:34 PM): he said he might quit
Cassandra (8:20:38 PM): about what?
Cassandra (8:20:39 PM): no!
Me (8:20:43 PM): well I mean
Cassandra (8:20:44 PM): he can't do that
Me (8:20:46 PM): he did it last year too
Cassandra (8:20:49 PM): ya
Me (8:20:50 PM): and nothing came of it
Cassandra (8:20:52 PM): i don't think he would
Me (8:20:58 PM): me neither
Cassandra (8:21:05 PM): he loves it too much.. and he likes the authority he has..
Cassandra (8:21:42 PM): i can't see him leaving at all
Me (8:22:01 PM): me neither
Me (8:22:09 PM): is he serious about band though?
Me (8:22:11 PM): It's hard for me to tell
Cassandra (8:22:18 PM): not as much this year as in the past
Me (8:22:26 PM): but I can't imagine talking about quitting repeatedly
Cassandra (8:22:26 PM): he had a lot going on this year
Me (8:22:30 PM): and still being into it
Cassandra (8:22:48 PM): he is just upset with alot of the changes that have happened
Me (8:23:01 PM): like what?
Me (8:23:08 PM): see, I can kind of sense changes too
Me (8:23:18 PM): but then I think it might be my imagination
Cassandra (8:23:20 PM): in attitude.. in expectations.. is what i have seen
Me (8:23:29 PM): that it's just not magical like it was when we were freshmen
Cassandra (8:23:29 PM): but.. it's a lot of stuff you can't really figure out
Me (8:23:35 PM): because we were freshmen
Cassandra (8:23:53 PM): no.. because.. sophomore year seemed to be a lot better than this year
Me (8:24:05 PM): oh, see I think it was worse
Cassandra (8:24:18 PM): we never really played the music to our best it seemed.. like.. in previous years we always had that†
Cassandra (8:24:29 PM): "wow.. we all know the music.. and can play it well"
Cassandra (8:24:40 PM): it always seemed off this year.. like.. we were waiting to get good
Me (8:24:44 PM): I almost feel like we should stop recruiting
Cassandra (8:24:50 PM): yes..
Me (8:25:02 PM): because it used to be that if you were there, you were a serious musician
Me (8:25:11 PM): and you just assumed that you were expected to practice and get it right
Me (8:25:19 PM): and now it's like concert band
Cassandra (8:25:29 PM): and now it is like.. "oh.. he can play.. so.. he can join"
Cassandra (8:25:39 PM): i almost feel like we should have auditions now
Me (8:25:39 PM): yeah
Me (8:25:45 PM): well I dunno
Me (8:25:50 PM): then there are people like Tuba Kid
Cassandra (8:25:53 PM): ya..
Me (8:26:04 PM): he couldn't lift his tuba at band camp
Me (8:26:08 PM): now he's like, good.
Cassandra (8:26:09 PM): people are joining just because now
Cassandra (8:26:16 PM): i don't know..
Me (8:26:28 PM): especially drummers
Me (8:26:29 PM): ugh
Cassandra (8:26:33 PM): mhmm
Me (8:26:44 PM): I dunno
Me (8:26:52 PM): I hope we have good leaders lined up for next year
Cassandra (8:26:56 PM): i agree
Cassandra (8:27:13 PM): okay.. i have to go.. my sister is being a bitch about stealing this.. so. i'll talk to you later..
Cassandra (8:27:15 PM): much love kiddo
ìCassandraî is away from the computer as of 8:27:21 PM.
Me (8:27:28 PM): bye
