My band and what it is (according to me and friends). Ta-dah!
Marching Band is…The sexy wall.
Talking about fingerings and tonguing to someone who's not in band, and having them look at you funny.
The clarinets that don't care.
Having a spot for your friend group that no one disturbs.
Halloween costumes twenty days before Halloween on the field.
Really hot or really cold weather.
Having random upperclassmen fix your hat.
Unfixing your hat afterwards.
Drumline not wearing gloves.
Other members wishing they were that lucky.
Always being in step with the person beside and/or in front of you.
Having MY cymbals stolen.
Helping people "get dressed."
Not being able to properly use my arms after the parade.
Getting my own drumline T-shirt and sweatshirt.
Wearing long black socks, shorts, and a band T-shirt and being stylish.
"Line!"… "Line!" in the middle of a song.
The music being completely wrong and the band director not fixing it.
Having almost all my friends playing different instruments and attempting to reenact old songs with them.
Failing because the upperclassmen don't want to hear it.
Drumline first.
