i'm goin to switzerland!!!

your orchestra doesn't have a percussion section??how is that possible??how do you survive???
the percussion section is the HEARTBEAT of the whole band,no matter what type of band it is!!!

😂 i love my section😊

I thought with orchestral music the conductor was technically responsible for keeping the overall timing right.

Cuz we're a string orchestra... We have a good bass... He plugs into an amp and turns it all the way up.. Though sometimes we call him "bubble boy" cos our teacher'll say "Ok everybody start at measure 22" or something and he'll say "Where are we starting?"

Anyways... Like I said we're really f***in' good (not to brag or anything 😉 ) so if it was just string orchestras we had to compete against we'd win every time

Well yeah but you can't hear the conductor and you can't constantly be watching him so it's handy to have a percussion section cos you can always hear them and tell how fast to go

😊
and with you in it,i bet it does rock...😖hifty:

hell yes 🤘

Fair point.
But being a self taught git arist (a real musician) and playing everything from memory I dont have that problem! 😛

Well what I really mean is I'm jealous because I cant sight read scores and I'm way too lazy to learn.... 🙁
