Dryn, you can't switch. You're our best rookie trumpet player so far and you are improving exponentially. You are the future of the trumpet section.

I'm blushing! But regardless of my position in the rookie standings, I'm so far behind all of you! My tone is fuzzy, and my range has hit a wall, and I CAN'T...... GET........ HIGHER!! But that's not what I want to switch to low brass for. There's so much more stuff to do! And I agree with Zack, I'd love to switch to tuba too, but I can't imagine competing with TJ. And it's really heavy. And I can't afford one.

And I get my braces off in a month, and I don't want to re-learn to play. Again.

lol Zach, we don't need more low brass. We need more trumpets (or at least more trumpet sound). Low brass is loud enough. Sometimes (most of the time) even too loud. Trumpets (seconds/thirds) are never loud enough.

lol Awesome Land Summary in ten minutes or less:
Veralice is the Emperor. A year ago he stole the Beauty Mirror, one of the Artifacts of Wisdom from the Kingdom of Really Cool, where Johnny and Sarah are heirs to the throne. Sarah chases Veralice with one of the Artifacts and disappears, so Johnny goes after her with the last two Artifacts, disguising himself as a dumb male model obsessed with kandiez. The heros arrive to end Veralice's corrupt, tyrannical rule, but stuff happens and they end up fighting a crazy awesome dragon named RIDLEY, who grows stronger and stronger until a mysterious figure named Dante destroys is in, like, two seconds. The heros include Narrator, Cha Cha, Johnny, Derp-bot (now in the Narrator Dimension, and effectively removed from the story, unless either Tyler or I decide to bring him back), McJimmy (the awesomest fast food restaurant manager who is oblivious to just about everything, but still somehow manages to improve the story with each post), and more. Veralice destroys his tower and summons a giant zombie army. He teleports himself and McJimmy to an alternate dimension, where he convinces McJimmy to sell him his restaurant chain called McJimmy's. Many of the heroes are current or former employees at McJimmy's, including Veralice himself. McJimmy sells Veralice his restaurant in return for a new car. Cha Cha fine-"tunes" the new car with his tuner and perfect pitch, but his tuner hits him in the head and kills him after he becomes a traitor and joins Veralice on the dark side. Everyone runs away from the dragon army while Narrator goes off and builds eight Taco Bells (the sixth one is still in construction because of PHYSICS) to prevent Veralice from having total control over Awesome Land. Veralice goes to his newly obtained fast food chain, renamed Omnistar, and discovers the Time Keeper, a former adviser to the Mambutoo O'Malleys, the Royal Family of Really Cool, who was beaten by Johnny as a kid with the Ugly Stick (one of the Artifacts) and was transformed into a clock, and allies with him. Veralice rebiulds Omnistar (which was destroyed in DERPBOT's epic explosion) and creates the Dark Hole Academy (where children are taught to fight) and the Dark Hole Headquarters. Cha Cha actually survived the hit to the head and teleported to Veraland, a secret island Veralice discovered as a child, and the location of the portal to the Veral Dimension where Sarah, Princess of Really Cool, has been trapped for the last year, slowly fading into the Null Void. She was sent there by the Time Keeper because he was looking for revenge on the Royal Family and told her that's where Veralice was with the stolen Mirror. Cha Cha finds her and takes the True Sword and gives .her a Soul Patch to help sustain her solidity within the Veral Dimension, preventing her from fading from existence. Cha Cha returns to fight Veralice, once again on the heroes side, then teleports away with Johnny and Salvatore (who is currently just a character who does nothing and follows people around) to Veraland. They find Sarah, but realize they need the Beauty Mirror, still in the possession of Veralice, to free her. They disguise themselves as pirates (because Veralice decided to take a vacation and randomly became a pirate) to blend in with his pirate crew (his Imperial Army, who are just a bunch of citizens that Veralice recruited to hunt down Johnny). Veralice and his pirates go to Veraland to search for Johnny, but they can't find him. Veralice tried to convince his former ally Walter to ally with him again, but Walter turns against Veralice and sends his monster dragon on him, burning his ship. All the heroes (who were hidden on the ship), Veralice, and his crew sank to the bottom of the ocean, unconscious. They awoke in Special Land, an undersea Kingdom that defies physics by allowing you to breath and move like you would normally on land, but it's under water. The Queen of Special Land, Lauren, is some uber fat chick who used to know the Mambutoo O'Malleys and, apparently, Cha Cha's dad, Phantom. Veralice teleports from his prison into the throne room because he and his crew are sentenced to be executed the next day, and he wants to eavesdrop on the conversation between the Queen and the heroes. Narrator barges in after being trapped in the Null Dimension by Time Keeper with Taenas, Veralice's newly recruited Commander of a section of his Imperial Army. Walter frees Taenas from the the Void and allies with him, and they take over Awesome Land, declaring themselves Emperor and Imperial Prince, respectively. Johnny tries to get the True Sword, Ugly Stick, and False Shield back from the Queen, but it turns out that two of her guards stole them. She sends out a squad of guards to catch them. One of the guards, Xero, who just so happens to be Cha Cha's brother, finds the thieves and the Artifacts, but the Artifacts are stolen by a Blur, who runs back to the throne room. The Blur turns out to be Phantom, Cha Cha and Xero's father. They discover Veralice in the throne room (he had been invisible the entire time, but they noticed another Blur, which was Veralice's fading invisibility), and fight with him. Phantom teleports to Veraland to talk with Sarah (he knew her parents) and he finds out that Awesome Land is under new control. This is about the time when Time Keeper turns back time, restoring Veralice's old tower and bringing RIDLEY back to life. After Phantom leaves the Veral Dimension, Time Keeper fuses RIDLEY with the Null Void, creating OMEGA RIDLEY, who is slowly devouring the Null Void and Sarah with it. Cha Cha and Xero rally the heros together, as well as gaining a few members of the Special Royal Guard, and return to Awesome Land, where Phantom is building up a citizen army of Freedom Fighters. Veralice summons Dante, Salvatore's brother, using a medallion he found when it was blown away from Salvatore by Walter's dragon, and Dante transformed into a marlin to swim them back to the surface. Veralice's Imperial Army of pirates were released and they returned with the heroes. The heroes split up to build up their forces and to fight the new disputing rulers of Awesome Land. Motevater666 appears out of nowhere with his clone army and Imperial Star Destroyers and drop ships with clones begin landing in Awesome Land. Thus begins the War of Four Kings (Veralice, Walter, Time Keeper, and Motevator666). Meanwhile, Cha Cha is in Ausum Land, his home, recruiting a section of the Ausum Army called the Phantom Regiment (lol). They return back to Awesome Land, but Time Keeper had just fused with OMEGA RIDLEY and formed CHRONO RIDLEY. CHRONO RIDLEY then proceeded to produce a massive ball of Void, engulfing all of Awesome Land (including its atmosphere, meaning the Star Destroyers are included) in the Null Void, which is somehow contained within CHRONO RIDLEY's chest. Xero had been fighting with Time Keeper while Phantom stole the Vanity Mirror, the Corrupted Beauty Mirror. Veralice realized that the Mirror was missing, and he chased after Phantom. Apparently, when Veralice stole the Mirror, he had tried to kill Phantom, but had failed and actually gave Phantom the Power of the Mirror. With the True Power of the Mirror gone, the Mirror became Corrupted in Veralice's hands. Back in the present, Phantom was kidnapped by Jango Fett, hired by Time Keeper. Veralice fought with Jango while Boba appeared because he was also hired by Time Keeper to hunt down Veralice. Suddenly, Shadow the Hedgehog makes his appearance and kills Jango and Boba, kidnapping Phantom and stealing the Mirror with Veralice and Dante in pursuit. They arrive at the beach where Shadow teleports to Cha Cha and steals the True Sword, then finds Xero with the Ugly Stick. Shadow removes the False Shield from his arm, revealing his true identity: Johnny. He uses the four Artifacts to free his sister from the Void (which they are all inside right now, so nobody really freed anyone). The clone army jumps from the woods and attacks them, but the heroes (Veralice is now kinda one of the heroes since he completely lost most of his power and now has to ally with the heroes to regain his power) flee into the woods. Phantom was left on the beach unconscious, so, when he wakes up, he wanders into the woods and stumbles across the Corpsvets in a meeting. Gustav, one of the clone commanders, ordered a destroyer beam to be fired at the Clock Tower (Time Keeper's rebuilt version of Veralice's tower) and destroyed it, sending Duncan, an elite clone sharpshooter, flying. He was captured by the Corpsvets, who fought off a squad of clones who came to find the Freedom Army and destroy them. Captain Cody, another clone leader, came across Rowlek and Teharlu, leaders of Phantom's civilian Guerrilla Army. Cody killed Teharlu and took Rowlek prisoner. Xero was there when Rowlek was captured and Teharlu was shot, and he was the only other survivor other than Rowlek. He staggered into the forest and found the Corpsvets, led by Lieutenant General Jacob Throop and Major Chris Oglesby (lolz), and joined them in their fight against the second wave of clones. Outside of the Void, Cha Cha and the Phantom Regiment are fighting the current in the ocean because they are being sucked into the Null Void that just appeared in front of them. They lose many men, and, in an epic struggle, they manage to break free of the current with the aid of the Special Royal Navy, who come at just the right time. Cha Cha joins the Queen in her ship with the other captains of the fleet to discuss their next move. Cha Cha comes up with a plan, but keeps it to himself and leaves to depart on the Poltergeist, the famous ship sailed by the Phantom Regiment. Johnny sent a message to his father, King Arthur, in Really Cool, and requested that the Really Cool Army come to their aid. General Tamwyn arrived in Awesome Land with the first wave just before Awesome Land was sucked into the Null Void, but General Corinth and the second wave arrived too late. Instead, they turned toward Groovy Land, where they now travel in an epic journey to find Bill Nye the Science Guy, the only guy who can help them. (Also, McJimmy disappeared after about the tenth page of the story on a journey to find Bill Nye, but never reappeared. He's probably waiting inside Bill Nye's psychedelic Tower of Science. (Random soldier's head asplodes.)
to be continued.....
lol How'd you like my ten minute summary typed in about an hour?

I'm blushing! But regardless of my position in the rookie standings, I'm so far behind all of you! My tone is fuzzy, and my range has hit a wall, and I CAN'T...... GET........ HIGHER!! But that's not what I want to switch to low brass for. There's so much more stuff to do! And I agree with Zack, I'd love to switch to tuba too, but I can't imagine competing with TJ. And it's really heavy. And I can't afford one. the tuba's are free we have like 10 of them not being used right now @ Mykal the reason the lowbrass sounds "too loud" (bad tone is what it is) is because we dont have enough people. at least thats how it is with the tubas. idk what the baritones are doing, i just know if we had 3-5 tubas next year that would be great because i could back off a little outside and still balence the band cause right now im on the edge between good and bad sound josh is all the way into the bad
