My last couple of band rehearsals have consisted mainly of lecture-like teachings. My band teacher essentially rambles on about ancient composers for two hours straight, causing the majority of my classmates to fend off slumber. I find these lessons extremely mundane and difficult to process, as his monotonous voice can easily lull one to sleep.
To be quite frank, I just don’t give a damn about composers in the 1600s.
My band teacher has already deemed us failures, as our inability to follow his deadening lessons will no doubt affect us in university.
I sometimes contemplate a device that could read the thoughts of others. If my band teacher had possession of such an apparatus, he could easily detect who is paying attention.
‘Okay good, Courtney’s following. Alright, Adam is taking this all in. And what? Tori? WHY IS SHE THINKING ABOUT MONSTER TRUCKS??’

At least yours doesn’t throw stuff at people.

Actually yes, yes he does. He once threw a baton at the trumpet section and just narrowly missed my head.

Mine threw batons all the time, and chalk, and whatever else he had handy. (Maybe they’re brothers?)
He eventually got fired.

Hopefully mine will get fired, too!

Of all things to think about, you think about monster trucks? What a waste of boring band lecture-like teaching time.
