| 00:00 - 00:03 | So concert assessment is coming up |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | As you can see we need to get here |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | It should take about 40 minutes. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | But there is a shortage of bus drivers so we have to be dropped off early |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | or stay late after we finish performing. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | We can work around that. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | I'm just glad the snow is all gone. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Maestro |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | There is ... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | There is another winter storm coming on Wednesday. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | Hampton Roads may even get a foot. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | If you didn't pass the last Standridge, Sweeney, and Smith playing tests, get out. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | This cannot be true! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | We've already missed almost 2 weeks! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | Those in the hall can't blow their nose, let alone play their parts. |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | The saxes can't play in tune! |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | They don't even know what blend means. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | And now you tell me there's more snow coming? |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | You've spent more time on snow angels than long tones. |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | You just keep playing Sleigh Ride instead practicing the new lit. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | But its fun to play the slapstick. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | And I picked really hard music this year! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Maestro, we are ready for the challenge. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | It doesn't matter if we aren't in school. |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | Now more snow this week? |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | VBODA is going to enact the |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | "inclement weather contingency" due to all the winter weather. |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | Skip the opening march or sight read for comments only. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | The march is the only thing the idiots in the hallway can play. |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | and it will sound like we are sightreading our prepared music anyway. |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | The judges will eat us alive. |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | And I know all of them this year too. It's gonna be humiliating. |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | At our last full ensemble rehearsal |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | the trumpets missed every F#. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | I will show them how to play F#!!! |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | And the percussion ... |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | They are so out of sync, they sound like a bunch of shoes in a dryer! |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | They don't know the difference between a paradiddle and a hole in the ground. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | And Ashley, the new clarinet player ... |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | every other note is wrong or a squeak. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Her reed has more chips than a bag of Doritos! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok, I'll give you one of my new reeds. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | And you still stand here in silence. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | Instead of encouraging your friends to go practice. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Look around the room. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | You are supposed to be the leaders. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | And instead of running sectionals, you're in here telling me about another monster snow storm |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | that will cause more school closures. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Now its time to cry. |
