Band is . . .
Naming your instrument . . . and talking about it like it's a person
Calling people by what instrument they play . . . even your friends
Making up nicknames for your directors and drum majors to make it more fun . . . and then telling everyone but THEM about it
Getting in trouble for talking because you and the kid next to you were arguing about the accidentals . . . even though you know you were right
Calling the trombones "tromboners" . . . and the trombone players "boners."
Stealing things from the assistant director during band camp . . . and laughing harder when he doesn't notice
Giggling whenever your director tells you to blow harder . . . even though it's perfectly normal when he says to tongue harder or check your fingering
Finding your spot on the football field with a glow stick from band camp . . . and panicking when it's not there on different fields
Making sure the assistant band director counts right this time . . . and laughing when he doesn't
Realizing every single friend of yours in band plays the same instrument . . . and it's not yours
Having every one of your friends and yourself cross their legs to annoy the assistant director . . . but immediatley uncrossing them when the head director walks in
When your friends say you're evil for the jokes you've told about the assistant director . . . even though he's your favorite teacher
Getting your friend to stare at the assistant director so you can make faces . . . but he never looks
Taunting the flag corps about their uniforms . . . when they should be taunting YOU
Following the assistant director out of band camp . . . and running away when you realize he's parked next to you
Playing random notes when you don't know the song all the way through . . . even though the music's right in front of you
Telling your friends your marching uniforms are sexy . . . and laughing at their reactions when they see them
Offering your friends a marching uniform strip-tease when they don't believe you (see above)
Glaring at the assistant director for crossing his legs after busting you for crossing YOUR legs . . . even though you never uncrossed them
Realizing the drum majors probably notice when you stare at them during rehearsals and laugh . . . and continue to do it
Telling your friends the assistant director has magic fingers . . . and still not understanding why they gave you funny looks until you told them he fixed your neckstrap
Thanking heaven when the head director loses his voice . . . and recoiling when you see he brought a megaphone to band camp
Band is the best! XD Review if you have funnier ones; as these are just personal experiences from band camp as a freshman.
