The band I'm in and the problems with our director So (my new standart greeting), I'm in a band. Specifically, the band of our school. We have a couple of pianists and guitarists and a drummer and all that. Then (the more special instruments that are not in every band) my friend playing a violine and me playing a flute. And then there's our dirigent and chef at the same time. He really likes us and sometimes, it will get weird. Anyways, every year, the 12th grader and we play a musical (which obviesly he decides). So trough the final performances we do (7 this year), we earn some money. Most of it is for the stuff we borrowed from stores like technics and that, because they want some money for that and for the 12th grader's prom. So some money will still be left, which is the money our lovely dirigent takes. We, the band, get nothing. Literally nothing. I wasn't in school for 4 weeks in total, getting several bad marks and getting like 6 1/2 hours sleep a night. And that makes me really angry, he just takes everything and we get NOTHING. I would expect to get at least a certificate or, how could I dare, money. But no, nothing, bad marks and that's it. To not make this entry too long, I end this here and blow off steam because just writing about this topic makes me angry. So, bye for now PS: I know I don't sound like a nice person but I swear I'm not that bad (That didn't make it better :D)
