I never thought to explore this but Clinton is dead on. Marching band uniforms directly oppose ease of movement or comfort. And they're a bitch to keep cleaned and fresh (bc you are sweating TO DEATH as he said)
I was president of my church choir for 4 years. We outgrew the number of robes we had year two. I was BEGGING for new joints, but there was a choir pecking order. Then when you have to go full out and wear the overlays?
I was like can we at least have a casual, lighter option for just regular sundays (no programs, no communions, no whatever). I might actually donate some when we go back to in person, bc chile...
I just broke down finally and washed them all in the industrial sized washer at the laundry bc all my members couldn't be trusted to get them cleaned regularly like they were supposed to.
(I really think this is a budget vs fee conflation...)
If you pay me a fee to perform a service, that value is subjective. I set it.
If you give me a BUDGET, that's based on how much things cost that I'm agreeing to buy/do/produce/execute for you
So don't pay me a fee and ask where the money went - to ME.
Went to TMobile bc I need to replace my phone. The rep helping me was CRAZY short and snappy at the mouth, and I had to breathe because I recognized she didn't know how rude she was being, and thought I was being rude by asking questions..
For example, she says "Let's go over to computer so I can pull up your account." We go. She asks some questions to a sr rep next to her, then says something to me about needing to check my insurance - needed to replace my phone ages ago bc the case came off, now I dropped it.
The thing is, I needed to upgrade it anyway, so I don't want to fix it (even though it's insured) I just want a new phone. So after the thing about checking my insurance I start telling her my number cause she needs to pull my account up, right?
She cuts me off.
We all probably have friends or family who got with the wrong man, everybody was like "Girl, he gonna drag you down." They was like "I'ma stick beside him!!" Then once they started realizing they were in a fcked up situation they doubled and tripled down instead of leaving...
... That's homegirl.
She is gonna burn her career down and leave herself open to legal liability and make herself an international embarrassment because her husband is a felon and a sex offender who thought he could get around it.
Now I want this match to happen JUST so I can come on here and say "I TOLD Y'ALL," just like I did with Face and Teddy, and just like I did with Keith and Bobby. There are certain spaces of music in which I legit live... this is one of them, dammit.
I named Puff and JD the co-Patron Saints of #MusicSermon back in 2018 because that's how often their respective catalogs came up in my threads and playlists. Again, I'm not saying JD wins, but that shit will be neck and neck and Puff's far from a guaranteed victory.
