Back in elementary and middle school, I played Trombone. I wasn't very good, owing to the fact that I wasn't very dedicated. I made the mistake of mentioning that I used to play, so the music-department (or what passes for that here) director got wind of it last year and asked me to play with the band at the 3年生 (3rd year/senior students) going away thingie. I couldn't say no.
This year the dreaded trombone returns, with the same "shit I've forgotten everything and have to relearn the entire instrument in two weeks" issues as last time. But I shall prevail, like last time.
The question begs to be asked "why can't it be something cooler, like me being the DJ backup for the band or something?" The other question you might be begging to ask is "did uncoolness ever actually leave your vicinity?" Laugh it up, joker, cuz I know you're thinkin it.
