This is a little ditty I came up with about some really crazy things that went on throughout this past marching season on band bus 1! This is kind of a poem, and it's not really wonderful, but I find it amusing! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Parents cheer We smile As the bus pulls out of the school lot We're ready for whatever is ahead And ready for yet another Bus Trip

CD players and CDs come out And suddenly the bus is loud, Obnoxious, And everyone is talking at once

The Drummers start pounding On the seats On the roof On anything that is within reach

Bandies sit snacking On candy from their hats Or from their goody bags if it's a contest Technically, they're not supposed to But they do anyway

The chatter turns into arguments That include the entire bus "Can I take my pants off now?" "No" "One hundred bottles of beer on the wall" "Ninety nine bottles of beer on the wall" "Can I take them off NOW?" "No!" "Ninety eight bottles of beer on the wall!" "Okay, it's time to give that a rest!" "THANK YOU!" "Can I take my pants off NOW?!?!" "NO!" "And the next person who asks that will do forward-backward drills until they CRY!"

You gotta love them all!
