Yes!! I have found some more marching band things. Yeah!! Also, once more some of these are inside jokes.
Band…
It's light saber battles with trombone slides.
It's the ever popular trombone huddle right before a competition.
It's the singing the song, "WE GOT TROPHIES, WE GOT TROPHIES!" right after you got first place at a competition were there are whole lot better bands in your class.
It's saying," There was this one time during band camp…" to your friends just to annoy them.
It's playing the traditional Apples to Apples game right before packing up to leave for a competition.
It's being so hyped up on sugar during the band party that you earn the nickname "Rabid squirrel".
It's inter-band dating.
It's loving your section like a pet monkey.
It's practices were the football team thinks they can practice on the field, and you so quaintly tell them they can't by blowing in their ear with your horn.
It's lots and LOTS of Gatorade and Powerade.
It's having so many people pass out during band camp that there is an ambulance that every hour just comes to your school to see if anyone else fainted.
It's having your best guy friend try to dance while at set.
It's trying to make up a whole new language during breaks to use when at set.
It's being completely off step for the entire performance, but no one noticing.
It's having the section glove that's passed around throughout the section during cold football games to try and make your hands unglue from your horn.
It's just being in the band room for no reason at all.
It's knowing the way to the band room from the front of the building blindfolded.
It's having many "intelligent" talks with your band director.
It's memorizing all your music even before band camp and laughing at the rookies who can't even memorize a measure.
It's annoying guard girls that run around with glitter trying to get it on your instrument.
It's clarinets that squeak just to touch them.
It's not coming to practice because you were "too tired".
It's your section leader not coming to practice because he had to "work" and leaving you in the hands of your over eccentric band director.
It's getting a trombone slide caught in your plume during a competition.( There really was a girl in my marching band that had that happen)
It's the bittersweet end of marching band season when you just want to cry cause the seniors won't be there next year.
It's getting the award for "Best recovery after getting hit by a sousaphone during competition".
It's marching band.
