If you are involved in music or have friends involved with music, you have probably sat through a concert in support of them. You love your friends but let's face it, sometimes those concerts can be pretty dang boring. I'll be honest and say when I'm in a concert I struggle to pay attention sometimes and my mind wanders, and I bet yours does too. Read along and see if some of the thoughts you have match mine.
1. Alright, the concert is starting. Let's do this thing.
2. Whoa, the announcer has a super deep voice.
3. Like seriously, he sounds like Mufasa.
4. The band looks so great.
5. I should look at the program and see what the band is playing.
6. I literally have no idea what any of these songs are.
7. Oh, this is pretty. I like this.
8. Wait, it changed and now it's loud and I don't like it.
9. Ew, 20th century music.
10. My phone just buzzed.
11. Do I check my phone?
12. It's probably just a TSM notification.
13. But what if it's my mom?
14. She'll be so ticked if I don't text her back.
15. But then everyone in the audience will look at me like I'm "that girl."
16. Wait, I just saw someone take out their phone.
17. I'm in the clear.
18. It was only a Facebook notification.
19. The flutes are really killing their music.
20. Slay, flutes, slay.
21. But the percussion section is freaking awesome, too.
22. It's been 30 minutes and we're still on the second song.
23. This is why I don't go to band concerts.
24. This is why I'm a vocal major.
25. Oh, oh, the music is building up, I'm ready for this song to end.
26. Lol, just kidding, it was a deceptive cadence.
27. The song is pretty though.
28. I wonder what instrument I would play if I was in band.
29. Oh my gosh there's an organ!
30. It's so incredible, I love the organ.
31. I'd definitely play the organ.
32. Why did I never learn how to play the organ?
33. That's right, I don't have the money to build a $200,000 instrument.
34. Hey, the guy sitting next to me is kinda cute.
35. Maybe I'll talk to him during intermission.
36. Update: we're still on the second piece.
37. When does the band even breathe?
38. I'd probably pass out and die.
39. Oh thank goodness the second piece ended.
40. Wait, there's no intermission?
41. Welp, onto the third piece.
42. I guess I won't talk to the cute guy.
43. Maybe after the concert.
44. Wow, the third piece was based off a poem.
45. This song sounds nothing like this poem reads.
46. I wonder if that was on purpose.
47. It probably was.
48. The third song wasn't that long.
49. Final song, here we go.
50. It's a symphony?
51. 30 minutes later and this thing is finally done.
52. I will never go to a band concert again.
53. The cute guy just said hi to me.
54. He asked if I liked the concert. "Yes."
55. He invited me to see his concert next week.
56. I take back #52.
57. I mean, I survived this concert, I can survive another one.
58. God, I love band.
59. I love UNT.
60. Good night, world; I'm going to bed.
