Hey everyone! Me and my friends for some odd reason make up list all the time. Recently, I decided to do one about marching band. Thus this was born! I hope you enjoy the first installment of "Facts From A Freshman On Drumline"! (rated T for sexual innuendos and language)
1. Everyone thinks you're a newbie at marching, even though you OBVIOUSLY did pit/cymbals in 8th grade(just for shits and giggles)
2. Bass 4 walks you through the last 5 sets because you missed learning the from extreme sunburn/eczema that caused sever peeling of your face skin...
3. You never stretch with the line, but with all your sophomore friends who play the trumpet
4. Every parent thinks you're a sophomore since you only hang out with sophomores/upperclassmen
5. Because of #4, your uniform got lost on the sophomore rack
6. You've googled your show title so you can see what the drill looks like in action
7. You get sexy calves from back marching and crab stepping so much with a 20 pound bass strapped to your chest
8. There's a pit member who breaks EVERYTHING while playing it (i.e. Claves, mallets, sticks..)
9. You skip an hour of band camp to go to freshman orientation
10. You leave orientation early and run over freshman who are touring the halls with your bass(hey, we were getting our drills!)
11. You go to re-register for the next school year during dinner and you smell horribly of sweat
12. Sooner or later, band camp will occur on your birthday...
13. You spy on the rival school's marching band while at the hospital(like, 5 feet away from their high school) waiting for your nephew to be born
14. You know its a lie when everyone says the basses were placed by how good they did on their auditions
15. You know its a lie because none of them can play double beat/triple beat on a snare OR bass , but you can, and they all came to YOU on audition day because you had the audition memorized
16. You also know that the TRUTH is by how strong they think you are and how tall you are
17. If #14 were true, then you'd be bass 1 because when the people who made it were announced, your band teacher said that you were the best out of everyone who auditioned for bass
18. Marching center is heaven because you're always right!
19. *is bored in English class* "S ON MY D!"
20. #19 SO meant "Sticks On My Drum" and not "Suck on my dick" Principle Swimmer!
Otay, part 1 done! So...#19 and 20 never happened...yet...I haven't started High School yet(I do tomorrow!) and I don't know the principles name...but its gonna happen real soon you just wait!
