Here, I am going to introduce the different Trumpet players so you know them for later additions.
Hayley- I have known her for a long time. She is one of two of our section leaders, and is good at keeping us on task. I am pretty sure I am her favorite freshman. She scares me sometimes, but that's just cause' she has tough love. (Her punishment form is LOTS of pushups)
Cora- She is our other section leader. Cora is really, really kind. She says that she is the good cop, while Hayley is our bad cop.
Me- I am a freshman, who is supposed to play first part. I kinda feel pressured to play second part though, so that's what I do.
Kyle- I'm pretty sure he is a Junior. Kyle is kindof dorky and nice, but doesn't talk to me a whole bunch.
Nathan K.- He's another freshman. He doesn't even try to march, he just walks around the field, flat footed, and doesn't square up his shoulders with the box. (He irritates me, if you can't tell)
Allison- Another one of the Freshman. She's really, really shy, but I hang out with her the most. (Just because I don't know the others that well)
Brandon- Brandon is a mystery. If you thought Allison was shy, Brandon is 10x more shy than her. He only talks to Zane, really. And sometimes Bob. He stares at me alot, which is really weird.
Zane- He is Brandon's best friend, but is completely the opposite of Brandon. Zane is extremely talkative and obnoxious, and kinda dumb sometimes. He still is really nice to me, in an obnoxious kinda way.
Bob- I just recently met him, but already I feel like Bob is an older brother to me. Like, an annoying, yet helpful brother. Bob is really obsessed with minecraft. So obsessed, that he uses minecraft terminology in everything. His catchphrase is "Lets go, Gamers!" Like seriously, he calls everyone Gamers. Weirdly enough, he calls himself Girl Gamer.
Trevan- This kid kinda scares me. Like, he has been to jail at least three times. He also has a scar from a bullet (Not asking how that happened). The only thing I like about him is his electric blue trumpet.
Nathan A.- This kid doesn't really talk to anyone. All I know is he is my percussionist friend's older brother.
Nathan H. Yes, we have 3 Nathans. This guy is usually in our section, but for this show he is playing electric guitar in the pit.
