I'm in the Band

If you ever have a need to be in a large group of people and be a part of something really big and fun, you should join the band. I mean, it's only two hours of practice a week, and you learn to play a new instrument. The marching band is the best, or so I've heard. You get to know so many people and gain so many friends, it's totally cool.
"No car, No job, No money, but I'm in the Band!"

Marching band gives you a chance to shape up physically, sharpen mentally, and peak socially. From my very reliable sources (my brother is in marching band) you get a lot push ups when you don't follow instructions, and you get killer biceps from lifting your instrument. Not to mention the repetition of the program.

"Marching Band: Someday Football will be played at half-time."

The top kids in the surrounding high schools all participate in band. Band has been scientifically proven to help kids concentrate and do better on tests. And who knows, maybe it may help you when applying for a job or an education...
There was two people competing for the last spot at Harvard, but their resumes matched almost identically, except for one thing. The lady had taken band when she was in high school, and that's what got her into Harvard. Because that's what Band does for you, it helps you think straight and concentrate harder and longer.

It also gives you your own category to be in during your entire duration of the school year. People ask what you do for fun or what extracurricular activities you are in and you can say with your head held high-
I'm in the Band.

Music is the key to happiness

Whenever I am doing something that doesn't take intense listening skills, I listen to all sorts of music. It must be really hard, though, to be able to come up with a song all by yourself and make it sound great. I'm not talking about bands and rockstars, makings guitar and drum solos isn't too hard, but the people I'm really impressed with is the major composers, like John Williams. I heard that he wrote the star wars music before he heard the movie or heard the outline. They just told him that they needed music for a scene where Darth Vader confronts Luke skywalker, and that's it. I only heard it, of course, but it seems like something John Williams could handle.
Anyway, it's scientifically proven that listening to music will help you relax and relieve stress. So every now and then I take a break, lay on my bed and pop a CD into my very out of date walkman. It would probably help you out a lot if you did the same every now and then. It probably help if you listened to something that relaxes you, though. It would really make you feel better if you were listening to a song about a guy addicted to drugs who was left by his wife and can't pay rent anymore so he has to go homeless and ends up dying in a gutter. But that's basically what every country song is about, right. Yeah, it's best to just avoid country music all together.
Then there are the people who like to make music rather than listen to it. My brother is one of those people. He happens to be my littlest brother, the baby of the family. He can already play Mary Had a Little Lamb on my trumpet, with me teaching him. Yes, those people who can really make music are going to make a lot of friends.
So if you are feeling down on your luck and are deciding which method of suicide suits you best, try listening to some music, and maybe you'll feel good enough to leave off suicide for another day. Who knows maybe listening to some country song about a guy and all his problems might make you feel better....
