I feel like people don't realize how badass I am sometimes, especially during marching band 💀 this is usually the kind of story I hide in the tags but like. I'm so proud of it I need to Spill

So today we were going over some 16-count fowards and backwards sets in our show, and the guy behind me in the backwards section (still new to marching, not his fault, it happens) was Not taking big enough steps so I stepped on his foot and tripped and fell Hard onto the pavement 😭 BUT as I fell, I let my hands take the majority of the force and kinda tuck and rolled onto the ground safely. Fucking AWSOME if you ask me. Rolled off to the side so I didn't get trampled, grabbed my horn, and when they finished the move? Looked at the guy who made me trip and said "ok man. Take bigger steps back 👁👁" AND I WALKED OFF

Got damage on my horn that I'm going to see about tomorrow (the 2nd valve slide is bent up pretty bad and I can't move the valve at all so 🧍 fun) but I'm ok and just got major street cred for taking that fall like a fucking beast 💪

#ok yeah I just wanted to brag abt it ngl #I feel like a fucking LEGEND guys #lowkey just knew how to brace myself for falls really well bc I was super clumsy in hs but like 👀 #I literally did a fucking tuck and roll (with instrument) when I hit the ground and I think I'm so cool for it #rolled my ankle a little but 🤷 I've definitely done much worse in prior falls and I feel like I really impressed the upperclassmen today #horn flash
