So to make my life more awkward than it already is, I am in the Marching Band at my school. I play the most annoying instrument of them all...the piccolo. During band class the people who are in the Marching Band are allowed to go out to the hallway and practice the show music. Last year when we went out the two piccolos were trying to tune and the drum majors told us that tuning doesn't matter. We decided to take advantage of this and I pulled all the way out while the other piccolo pushed all the way in so that we would be as out of tune as possible. We started to play one of the songs and it was AWFUL!!! We sounded like dying cats and everyone was covering their ears, but we did show the drum majors that yes in fact tuning DOES matter!
