I just started July 7th and the first day, my band instructor gave us 16 sheets of music (all VERY hard songs) He said to us freshman that we should learn it quick and memorize it. I don't know how to do that! I know to practice, practice, practice, and break it down into measures, but my brain can't do it at all. We tried a simple marching drill while playing our warm up and I was so out of place with everyone else. Will I be able to survive this year? I feel like crying because I feel like I am going to fail. Everybody that I talked to said That it gets easy over time but I don't see how! I play the clarinet and some pieces of music, I never knew notes go so high on the staff!! PLease help me!! Thanks.
 
Everyone sucks at marching band when it starts...that's just how it is. Everyone I saw who had that issue was doing fine within a couple months.


As far as music...Just memorize small parts of it at a time. Don't try to memorize everything at once.
