I know im good at what I do, but knowing how my band director is, he likes to choose the absolute wrong people for high positions in the band, so im worried he may not choose the right person for next years for drum major. Should I still go out for it? Help please! Lol.

  • If you scared for any reason, you aren't ready.

    Being if its because of him, because of you or whatever.... if you go out, be confident that you will make it. IF you don't, oh well, it ain't the end of the world. Get back on your horn and help lead the band as an upperclassmen. Just because you don't have the title doesn't make you a leader...
  • I am confident in what i do & wanna do & know i wanna be drum major,but he just be trippin about choosing the right people.. Not tryna be racist & al or play the race cardl, but our band has like alota white people but also a good amount of blacks but its funny how the white people always get those positions & the people that go out for it not even good,but when black people go out for it, thats actually good, they dont get chosen..
  • if yall have drum major tryouts, all you can do is go out there and perform/lead to the best of your abilities....and everything will fall into place
  • .thanx for the advice :)

    I didn't feel the need to add anything else, since they hit the nail right on the head.
    It's a tear of endearment popular in the '50s. It's the equivalent to the modern-day term 'boo', I suppose.
    I love the '50s and '80s, so I'm just weird like that.

    It's a man's world, so you'll likely have the odds stacked against you more often than not -- but I know that isn't going to STOP YOU, right?!
