PARADE!!!!!!!!!
We have been signed up by our Illustrious Director of a PARADE. This is not a bad thing for most bands but it is for us, for a couple of reasons. The main reason is that we aren't a marching band. We're a wind ensemble turned pep band in cheap marching uniforms that shuffles approximately 8-to-5 along a football field. The step sizes vary from person to person, some go 6-to-5 and some go 10-to-5. Somehow we managed to pull off our pathetic 5-page show at the final football game of the season, but it took us the whole season to get it, at every game until November we screwed something up.
Another issue is that none of us (save the two who have joined the local drum corps) have marched since the stupid Thanksgiving football game. We aren't a marching band, like I said. Most of us can't march, and those who do (myself included in this, honestly) don't care. It's really sad. No after-school practices. Nothing. Nothing at all. So sad.
So we will be doomed to march this stupid parade. I'll be sure to give you my account of it after it's all over.
