I've had many, but the most recent went something like this...
My director asked my to take the piccolo home over winter break (you know how some elementary schools have class pets? Well, this was essentially the same thing) and he told me to make sure I take care of it and keep it safe and all. Well, I got home and things went well, but then I was in my room and I dropped the piccolo! Then all the keys fell off and turned into marbles. I took the piccolo back after winter break, still keyless, and when my director saw it he quit his job as band director and ran away, blaming me for his problems. Then I jumped to a dream where I was ballroom dancing underwater...
Yes, I tend to have bizzarre dreams. This one was actually fairly tame compared to some.

O...M...G I had three band related dreams in a row. I still remember some of them. 1. about how I went to a band festival and I was overpotective of my trumpet and for some reason I had my practice mute with me. There was also a girl playing a double-bell trombone with no slide. 2. about a boarding school for band nerds, where everyone wears a marching uniform 24/7. Instead of walking, you had to march all the time, even when you're going to the bathroom. But at night really you could walk around in undergarments and dirty things happened... 3. [last night] about how I was at band camp and we were getting in line, and there were some other alumni of my middle school, though they all go to different schools now.... strange. And all the non band people who wanted o be in band all just played tuba, so we had like, 20 tubas. And I even managed to bend a conical silver tube into a tuba-like instrument and kept (stupidly) calling it a baritone. I even bragged to my friend (who isn't even going to my school!) that my 'baritone' is better than hers! seriously...

I had a dream a couple days before the region marching competition my senior year....
Someone had forgot to load the podium onto the truck, so I had to conduct on tip-toe, while standing on the track that ran around the field. Then during the show, one of the trumpets tripped and fell, taking most of the section with him... and the colorguard were hitting all the band members with their flags and rifles...I woke up so relieved that it was just a dream...

I dreamed that instead of being in pit orchestra, I went to the musical as a critic. The lead guy asked me to watch him and give him feedback on his singing, but I feel asleep. He asked me how he did on his solo, and I just told him he was amazing. Then he yelled, "I didn't even HAVE a solo!" and then he cried.
The night before, I dreamed mom put my clari in the oven and it burst into flame and all the keys turned black. To say I was violently awoken is to underexaggerate...

I had a weird band dream last night:
This drum major from another band... Who I've seen but never met.. somehow ended up on our bus. He sat next to me, and for some reason in the dream, I knew he was but had no problem with it. We got to our contest.. but it wasn't anywhere our band has been before. It was at this charter school down in Austin where I was supposed to go my freshman year.. anyways. So we get to the contest and we all get off the bus and not only that drum major, but other people are there that aren't in our band, but they're in other bands. People I've met before from other bands. So.. for some reason our colorguard instructor told the other drum major.. who wasn't a drum major in my dream- to hurry up and get his uniform on. For some reason, after this drum major and the others got uniforms on- my director suddenly noticed that the other drum major and the others weren't a part of our band and started yelling at them to leave. The odd part was, for some reason I was going out with the drum major who wasn't a drum major in my dream.. and so after he and the others left, my director yelled at me and said it was a bad prank and I shouldn't have pulled it off. I passed the dm who wasn't a dm on our way on field and mouthed to him "thanks, now I'm in trouble.." And he looked like he was going to cry. Later on in the dream was results for the contest- we got first! And my director credited the prank for giving everyone a laugh before the performance...
The end

To explain, yes ... I do sleep in the same bed as my boyfriend.
Anyways, during band camp we both fell asleep after the day was over, it was nearing the end and it was to the point we were very tired of it all. Anyways, so you know how sometimes you have those times when you are half-awake? Well, he wakes up and yells at me to get on my dot ... I can't move over anymore because I am by the wall, so he continues to yell at me for a few minutes before he finally just gets up and leaves and says he is too old for this stuff anymore. It was HORRIBLE, not that he was yelling but because we just did NOT want to be there anymore! hahaha.

I had this really bad dream...
I kept dreaming that we went to a competition and my podium kept collapsing on me and the other DM didn't even care about how the marching and played was going. So I eneded up running around the field and conducting in random spots but no one seemed to care. And then at the of our third song, we ended in a straight line on the 45, which is what is supposed to happen, but they ended on the wrong side of the 50 and sounded horrible.
And then what didn't make things better was the next day after waking up our BD got us new DM podiums... one is 6ft tall and the other is 8ft ><

I dreamed that my bd and sl lived as tenants in my grandparents' house. I walked in on them talking in the den. My bd said, "[sl], there are a lot of things you do really smoothly, but bariclaribob just fulfills some of my needs much better than you." And the whole time I'm standing there thinking pervert-alert until in my dream my sl bursts into tears and says, "But I want to tune the band!"

Wierd one last night...
I dreamed I was on some island, then a helicopter came by, and I started playing arpeggios to try and attract. It flew away, but then the drumline came out of the trees playing " Rough Stuff" and then I woke up. Pretty random

Ah! I had a horrible dream the other night. It was our end of marching season indoor concert, and there are two performances, but our BD didn't show up to the first one. We all rocked out and had fun, and then went back to the band room in between concerts to chill. And then someone came in and told us that our BD had DIED. We were all devastated, and totally didn't do the second show. The sad thing is though, is that my BD is really old, and not the healthiest guy in the world, he's going to retire very soon, but we all know that without the band he has no life. It just seems like he'd die before he'd retire. And both of those things are very likely!

Last night I had this weird dream that next year's show was going to have an Irish theme. Like lucky clovers and bagpipes and such. I don't know either. But now I really want it to be

Haha that would be so freaking awesome with bagpipes!
I wish I could remember my dreams but it's too late in the night to actually think.
