Cross country tomorrow! Get top 20, yeah?
Anyway, speech day is coming, and you can hear for yourself how horrible we sound :(
So we gotta buck up! So till the may concert, there will be sectionals for seniors every week. A time will be arranged each week.
Alright. Rest well tonight, don't sleep late. Have a hearty breakfast (and lunch) and drink lots of water before the run. Oh, and remember to empty your bowels and bladder in the outhouse (lol) too!
Alright. Bye!

saxey peirceans
We are a bunch of saxophonists and oboists from Peirce Wind Symphony! Quite obvious right?
We love to play our saxophones and oboes. Well. Except for sometimes.
The saxophonists wants a soprano saxophone. Care to donate?
We would also like to kill all our running notes when it's available! Yes, even the baritone has them sometimes.
Most of all, we would want ourselves to stay happy and strong as a section.
