I'm thinking of joining my school's jazz band next year on violin. My question is, do you think that's allowed? I'm obviously going to ask my director, but what do you guys think?
What's the harm in that? Why does college board demand we use a no. 2 one? For example, I have a pencil I got as a party favor years ago, and it's still usable to this day. kinda my "back up" pencil. Say I wanted to use that pencil (obviously not a no. 2 one). Could I, and why does College Board prohibit it?
First, I want to say that I did not join AP chem willingly. I am a sophomore, and clicked "chemistry honors" last year when signing up for classes. But over the summer, my school decided to get rid of Honors Chem entirely, and put all of us sophomores into AP chem without telling us. I got my schedule a week before school started and was unpleasantly surprised when I saw I was in AP chem.
That being said, I haven't tried the hardest. I know I could do so much better than I'm doing, but I'm just burnt out from my other AP classes that I actually care about and y'know, actually signed up for.
Although I'm not doing terrible in chem, it's not great. If I take the exam, I'm positive I will fail. I've been thinking of not taking the AP exam. I have not paid for it yet, and I'd much rather pay $40 (the cancellation fee) than pay $100 to just fail an exam.
I don't plan on going into a science or math based career. I'm taking this class purely because I was put into it by my school and foolishly did not drop it when I had the chance.
What do you guys think?
So I am in HS, and am in my school's music program. We have our instrumental teacher (teaches band and strings) and our choir director. Choir and my strings class are not during the same period, so when we do sectionals, we often go into the choir room to practice.
Now, I was going into the room and grabbed a stand for my music. The stand I grabbed sucked, to be blunt. It was wobbly and loose, and just crap. I started (attempting) to tighten it, but it just wasn't working. So I gave up, and set the stand down.
This is where all heck broke loose.
The stand was wobbly, as I said, and it literally wobbled and then fell over onto the choir teacher's guitar, literally making a very noticeable scratch on the otherwise scratch-free guitar.
I felt instantly bad, and the problem is, I'm not in choir. I have zero contact with this teacher. So I'm just going to pray that come Monday, he doesn't notice that his guitar now has a scratch on it, because honestly, going up to him is not what I want to do early Monday morning.
Tl;DR: was using a wobbly stand for music and it fell because it was wobbly, and scratched a guitar.
