Exactly what I said.  I spoke to my band director through email, 
(band of ninty kids' doesn't have much time during class), still 
hasn't replied

 Wow that is very impresive.
 My two aids only have an hour and a half each day, (every day 
except for Monday, switching off), and they have to help me in 
math.  So we never have time to do much.

 Moo, but she has been with me for six years, read the chart, and 
figured it out.

 If so, you are very lucky.  As I said before, no one knows it 
it, which means that I'm sitting in my band class doing nothing, 
but listening, which isn't very helpful when the teacher isn't 
there.

 My aide brailles my choir music, but just this year, she wanted 
me to learn it.

 Hi Marissa,
 All states are different; if nls needs someone over 18 in your 
state to do it, then just keep politely reminding your aunt or 
whomever needs to call.
 Some libraries have an email address to send your request to.  I 
think that question is best answered by a librarian in your 
cooperating library.
 We are fortunate here to have our talking book program part of 
the library branch system of the county; they are county 
employees.
 They also do outreach to other disabled people, not just blind 
people.
 I was able to order my own books as a high school student.  But 
perhaps your area is different.

 I would also recommend trying the distance education program, 
hadley school for the blind, to learn braille music.

 I've heard braille music is quite different than regular 
braille; I never learned it, but was not in band.  I did do choir 
a few years.  but it was easy to catch on the music and rhythym 
by listening.  in fact, learning braille music never crossed my 
mind; I simply went to class and sang like everyone else; 
sometimes they brailled the lyrics for me though.

 That's too bad no one in your area is available to teach you 
braille music, if you want to learn it.  There are camps for 
blind musicians, and perhaps this may be an option to learn the 
code and meet other blind musicians.

 Ashley

 You should be able to call yourself or be able to request it
 online.

 I'm working on it, the basics with a chart that someone gave me.
 No one has time to teach me, so I have to teach myself.  They
 would teach me if they could, but noone knows braille music.  
I'm
 trying to get the book from NLS, but my aunt keeps forgeting to
 call, so that one's out.

 They do not know braille music.  I have asked repeatedly.  I
 brought it up at my i.EddP a few weeks ago.  Didn't help.  I 
told
 my casecarrier about Dancing Dots  and she told me to tell Mr
 Sanders, my band director.  I emailed him, because he never has
 time during class for much because it is a band of 90 students.
 Hasn't replied.
