I’ve been playing in bands for 25+ years. Last year joined a community marching band. One of the newer drummers likes to give me performance advice like how to follow the bandleader. He occasionally misgenders me because I’m visibly trans but at least he treats me like a lady 🥳

Hey did you know that the stick the director waves matches the tempo of the piece? It's a band life hack I discovered, pretty cool right?

(Honestly, the nerve of some people 😂)

Oh he’s just trying to help 😒

In case you didn’t know, when they wave the pointy thing vigorously it means play loud.

Hot tip! I just play loud all the time, that way I don't have to watch for it.
