Who Needs Sports?

I speak for my people, meaning the uncoordinated, non-depth-perceptive people, when I say that there are oppurtunities to sports. After being hit in the face too many times with various sports equipment I realized there must be another way to incorporate fitness activities into my life. And thus I discovered the magic of band.

I was not a fat girl before band. Nor was I skinny. I was a little on the pudge side of things, but not unhappy with my appearance. Nearly two years and at least 15 pounds lighter I have a message. Bari sax saved my waistline. Sure, you might be asking how is that possible, but come on. The thing weighs 15 pounds outside the case, nearly 45 in the case, and I tote it all over the city, and march around with it for hours on end.

Normal people, or even people who do sports regularly, would not be able to handle what I do at band for even an hour. In layman's terms, I'm a beast. You should see my band injuries and my band muscles. My right bicep is envied by many a sports-failing young person.

Not to sound self-centered, but I love my sax, and I love what it's done for me. You people with little instruments or people who aren't in band at all have no idea. I'd like to see you do my job. As I've said before, it's INTENSE!!
