Band practice starts in 15 minutes and the band hall is loud and members of the marching band are packed in there like sardines while trying to grab everything.
Maka is the color guard supervisor's daughter, but she in no way let that get her into the program. She got in on her own skill. She really does NOT want to be late, so she double checks that she has everything and then goes out to the field and sets her flags down and waits.
Then she sees her father come out, he sees her and goes on his usual rant about how much he loves her and that she's his precious baby girl. She rolls her eyes and looks away. Then she sees her instructor walk up and she smiles. She really does love Marie, she makes her father bearable.
The drum majors walk up onto the stage and the band goes quiet. The drum major closest to her is a little crazy, but it's worth it for his skill. The band calls him Kid, no one really knows why. But that's a worry for another day, this is the first day of band camp. The freshman look around the band in wonder and excitement. Some start to speak before being silenced by the upperclassmen around them. The metronome click starts and the band simultaneously brings their instruments up and the first note echoes throughout the empty parking lot.
A/N:Sorry for the short crappy chapter, they'll get better and longer I promise, but it'll be a bit before this gets started properly because I'm having tech difficulties. This is also cross posted on AO3. Once my tech issues are fixed I'll be updating pretty much every weekend but don't murder me if I don't because band takes a lot of time, but it's a great cult.
