I think my section is pretty cool. I often have trouble sparking up conversations with them though, especially with Sarah and Alex, so I usually just don't talk to them at all.
Allan: He is inarguably a much better musician than I am. I have never witnessed his bassoon playing, but I've heard much about it and I've heard him play the tenor sax, so I have no doubt he plays better than god himself. He also plays his tenor sax a lot better than I can play mine and he's a really fun bro.
Andrea: I'm glad that she's in my section because other than me, she's the only tenor sax vet. I usually don't have to worry about her because she pretty much knows what she's doing. A lot of the time she also helps "manage" the section which is pretty cool too.
Sarah: I never really expected her to perform as well as she does. Me in my first year of marching band does not even compare with her. She is the only person in my section besides myself that always keeps their elbow up, which I absolutely love since telling people to keep their elbows up is a pain in the ass because they usually drop it within a minute. I often feel like she hates me though. Whenever any issues come up, she usually talks to Andrea, and very rarely she'll come to me. She can be enthusiastic and fun at times which is awesome.
Alex: I never knew he was in marching band when he was a freshman. That is quite an accomplishment because I think getting a spot in marching band at that time was pretty tough. Ever since he fixed the screw issue on his sax, he's been improving on his playing. Unfortunately Mr. Kaldy gave him a really crappy saxophone with leaks everywhere, but he has been toughing it out with almost no complaints, which I have major respect for. If I were in that situation I would be bitching 24/7 and would probably just buy my own saxophone. He needs serious work on his marching though, and I dislike that often gives me excuses for everything despite the fact that I tell him every time "excuses are excuses even if they're true." He can also be fun at times just like Sarah.
tl;dr 8/10 would play dota with all
