So this is just a little list I made up about what it's like being in my marching band..
You know you're in the CHS Marching Band when…

+When a drum major goes "Woo!" or "Arghhh!" you instantly cheer "Woo!" or "Arghhh!" back.
+When someone around you mentions Ferrum College, you moan in disgust and try not to revive the memory of that three days old fish chicken.
+When a non-band member asks you what day of the week it is, you immediately shout "Thurdsay!" even though it's Tuesday and everyone around you is confused.
+You tell a guy you'll give him $3 when he figures out how to get that "legs over the head" stretch down.
+You know you suck at marching when your band director can march better than you…and he's still getting over a torn ligament in his ankle.
+You're sad because your new guard instructor is a girl, former captain from a few years ago, and not the usual gay guy you're used to.
+Looking for that groundhog at practice is becoming a new hobby of yours.
+You would rather march in the dirt than on a lush green field, because it hasn't rained where you live in forever, so your practice field is almost dirt.
+You point and laugh at anyone who gets pulled over for speeding on the road in front/beside your practice field because your band director did it too.
+Practice in October with it being 90 degrees outside doesn't amaze you…but it excites you when later in the week, it drops down to 50.
+When you call a band parent (even if they're not your own) mom/dad on instinct
+When the guard is together completely the whole show, you know something is wrong.
+When you assume the auxiliary judge at your competition was high because your color guard got 2nd place, and that rarely happens.
+When having a guard girl running down the band hall before practice yelling "DOES ANYONE HAVE A TAMPON?!" doesn't bother you.
+You hear someone say Bassett, your eye twitches with great rage
+You can't help but snicker at attention when the announcer can't pronounce Scheherezade (Sha-here-a-zad) or even worse, Nessun Dorma (Nes-un Door-ma)
+You can't help but ask a second time at competitions if you're really allowed into a school to change and use the restroom, because based on past experiences, you don't want to end up getting accused of 'breaking into' another school again.
+Having your drum major, drum captain, and guard captain on the 50-yard line at the competitions for the awards is a tradition.
+You pray to get Superior at States simply because you looooove the brownies made by Mr. Miller.

I might update this list sooner or later, if anything else interesting comes up. haha
I hope this doesn't make my band sound like total idiots, we just loooooove to have fun. haha
message me if you want to hear any stories behind any of these things, I'd love to tell you:D
