Hi, it's me again, a bit more than a full year later! Are you well, with this COVID-19 pandemic? I hope so.

I can proudly say that I am now the drum major of my high school, for our 2020-2021 season. The season may get cancelled; however, it's such an honor to have even been selected. Now, as an incoming junior band major, I can say I relate to Cadence. 

P.S. Still play this demo whenever I get the chance! It's a mini-masterpiece, and my tastes haven't faltered: Clark, Garth, and Pop-Tart. Have a great day. :)

Jeez, I can’t believe I neglected a reply for so long. I never got the email and never thought you would respond back to me, especially not so promptly! I play trumpet, but I’m hoping to either switch to mellophone or possibly become a drum major. Consensus in the band is that I’m a popular pick for drum major next year. Totally unexpected!

Hah, being Garth’s age would be bittersweet for me. It would make it easier, but I also don’t like to think about the possibility of this amazing game being two more years away. As of now, though, I have an amazing senior boyfriend who reminds me of Garth with Clark-like passion about band, rehearsal, and playing instruments. Seriously though, I think you really outdid yourself in that Section of the Day bit; it was stellar. I’m totally going to invite Clark over now. Can totally imagine him being like “dudes wtf stop staring at me sTOP PLAYING THIS GARBAGE WE HAVE BAND CAMP TOMORROW.”

No, thank you for responding. A lot has happened since I wrote this comment, some good and some bad. But I anticipate this game because, through it all, marching band has been my escape; I just realized that during senior night this past Friday. I hope I’ll be able to play this game and others like it in the future. Who knows? You may create a new genre of sports related dating sims (because yes, marching band is a sport).

As a sophomore currently navigating the ins and outs of a second year of marching band, this game made my day a month ago. I didn’t read the file name because I was so excited, so imagine my disappointment when I found out that it was merely a demo. Until it’s fully released, I’ve decided to check back every day for a progress update. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I don’t.

To whomever has worked on this game, thank you so much for giving me a new motivation. Life has been tough recently; and this game has given me something to look forward to, that tending to be rare and hard to come by. I wish you good health and easy coding (err, as easy as it can be). 

P.S. I absolutely live for Poptart, Marion, and Garth. Wish Garth was a bit younger just so I wouldn’t feel bad for liking him so much. Pls don’t hurt Poptart ever. Also Marion needs a cup of coffee and a plaque. No appreciation for the dead inside librarian, not even in the “How to Survive Band Camp” video lol.

P.P.S. I love the part where you can nominate the trombones/trumpets as the best section for their abs, and the Clarinet Boi (I refuse to learn his name, out of spite) gets upset THEN TAKES OFF HIS SHIRT THE NEXT DAY TO WIN THE AWARD. I’m not even into him; it just made me giggle.
