My Orchestra is a bit weird: not enough players in one section, almost too many in another, kids who can barely play the music, and players like my friend Dylan, who has been accepted to audition at the top music school in North America. We always pull off every concert, but for some reason, this time, it's getting scary. We've got a really young violin section this year, who just isn't pulling their weight on some of the pieces. We've never been this far behind scheduleon rehearsing pieces before, and some of the pieces are sounding butchered. One soloist (my friend Lindsay) was in tears last time. I'm worried.

Tiffy the Pink Fluffy Yellow Llama came from a long and complicated joke made up way back in elementary school by my friend Richard. It had something to do with a strange writing assignment from our incredible english teacher. And yes, it is possible to be a pink llama and a yellow llama at the same time. Just don't ask me how.

Sounds a lot like Senior Band. :P
If you ever need a tenor saxophone, I'll see what I can do. :)
I'm finding as the years go on that each year of kids gets lazier/crappier at what they do. Think of your grade when you were grade 9's in band to this years grade 9's. Even in those two years there is a BIG difference. Or maybe it is just the things I am a part of...
Just like always, thought for food. :)
