Drumline Auditions?

I was gonna blog about this 2 days ago, but I got uber lazy..
Well, here comes the descriptive part of Wednesday.

I walk into the band room, totally forgot about having auditions that day. Chatted, played around with the drums and stuff, took forever finding matching drumsticks.. Cruz and Ray went to the back practice and started doing the auditions. One by one, they called people in. Everytime someone came out, I tried to read their facial expressions. I still didn't know what I wanted to try out for. cept either Bass or Snare. Though I secretly wanted snare. haha. Never laid hands on a drum before..

My name got called, so I went in, was a bit nervous. But then Cruz and Ray started being themselfs so it was fine after. They told me to read the whole first page, and Ray gave me a very retarded beat. ( retarded meaning slow XD ) and I started off going really slow. Then I didnt like it, so I speeded up hella fast and went through the first 3 without mistakes. Then number 4 came and i stumbled on the rests. Gosh I hate rests. And continued on til I was done.

Picked up the bass. Put it on me. Kinda tilted forward. Its not as heavy as the sousaphone is, so I was fine. Read the Bass music. It was alright. Easy.

Then they asked me what I was going for. I said I didn't know and didn't really mind. Just not the pit. So I was trying for the marching part.

Next day, I walked into 1st period and Jay told me the list was up. So he looked for me and was like, You got snare..and im like wat? haha i thought he was kidding. Then I looked and yeup, third snare. wat the heck? hah yay.

Messed up poorly today at practice. Gotta get used to holding sticks right...
