Sooo, yes. I am a band geek whether I like to admit it or not. So, I was dying to write a story, and I didn't know what to write about, so i decided to write a marching band story. This band and the characters are all based off of the people in my band, and my friends and some of the events may be events that really happened to my school's band. Most of the names of the characters have been changed from the real names, but anyways, I hope you like it! It will have some drama, romance, friendship, and so much more I'm sure. Soooo, with out farther ado, I now present you with "Drum Majors, Is Your Band Ready?"

Feeling like a big dork right now, Maria81593. (Please R&R) First chapter may be a little boring.

Maria POV

Glancing around my school's band room, I knew that I had arrived early. The room was pretty quiet except for the clicking of a computer keyboard coming from Mr. Rodd's computer, and the room was also somewhat clean, well at least compared to what it would look like when the rest of the band would be showing up to get ready for the game. I walked to Mr. Rodd's office and peeked through the door.

"Hello!" I said cheerfully as he turned and smiled at me.

"Hey, Maria!" Mr. Rodd exclaimed. "What are you doing here early?"

"Well," I said, "I couldn't remember what time you said to arrive, so I thought I better be safe and show up at six. I would have text someone, but J.T. and Ryn are at practice, and Annie left her phone here at school on accident.

"Oh, that's alright. You just going to hang around here until everyone else arrives?"

"Yep, I'll just go and start getting ready."

"Okay, sounds good!" Mr. Rodd turned back towards his computer and I raced into the band closet to get out my uniform bag and hat box. After going back to my chair, I walked to my band locker across the room and got out my flute, it's case, and my flip folder which held my music. As I went to turn around, someone covered my eyes with their hands.

"Guess who!" the badly disguised voice said as I tried to pull the person's hand away.

"Umm…. I don't know! Luke Skywalker!" I exclaimed as the hands moved off my face and one slapped me in the back of the head before I turned around. "Ryn!" I yelled. "What was that for?"

"For acting stupid and saying I was Luke Skywalker when you clearly knew that it was me, 'Ria." one of my best friends, Ryn Lexington said as she grabbed her flute out of her locker and we walked back to our seats together. We made some small talk for awhile, and more and more band members began to arrive. Soon, my other best friend, Annie National arrived and we all began to get ready for the game. As I put on my "bibs," socks, and shoes my boyfriend, T.J. Roland showed up and gave me a big hug.

"Hey hey!" he exclaimed as I followed to get his uniform with him. Everyone got ready and Mr. Rodd came up to his podium in front of the band and told everyone to take their seats.

"Alright everyone, quiet down!" He said loudly as he blew his whistle. After a moment, he continued, "Now, in a minute we are going to go outside and line up, but before we go up we are going to play a little bit of all of our songs." He told us what music to get out, and we played through all of our songs.

"Good job! Now, tonight the football team probably isn't going to do the best knowing the team that we are playing so, the band is probably going to be the show. Now, let's all get ready to line up for pre-game." Mr. Rodd exclaimed as our senior drum major, Richard up in front of the group.

"Football one three!" he shouted. "One… Two… Three!"

"Football!" the whole band yelled in their tough guy voices. We all started laughing and Mr. Rodd told us to get out of the band room and we went to line up for pre-game.
