[nabs-l] Marching Band

[Marissa Tejeda]

Hi,

Do not quit.  I am in marching band and have been for thre years 
now.  We do not do drills and such, but rather, move forward as 
one.  I suggest talking to your teacher.  Explain to him or her 
your problem.  My teacher, stands behind me with his hand on my 
shoulder, guiding me.  It's very easyly worked out and if people 
ask, we just explain that I cannot see and they understand 
immediately.

Subject: [nabs-l] Marching Band

Dear NABS Members,
For 3 years, I've always had a passion for the clarinet.  I was 
first
clarinet player in my middle school's concert band, and now that 
I am
in high school, I am taking on marching band.
Marching band was wonderful, intense but amazing, that is until 
we
started marching.  I was doing ok with marching forward, but now, 
I am
doing the slide steps.  These are when your torso and face are 
facing
one way while you're marching the other way.  I am now 
continuously
drifting away, and I have no control over it.
My section leader was amazing at first, she helped me a lot, and 
now
she is not willing to work with me as much at all.
Does anyone have any ideas? My TVI suggested a teather, but my 
section
leader refuses to use it.  I'm stuck, and am having thoughts of
quitting.
Please help!
JJ
