Being a drummer:

Part two:

Being a drummer is...

Catching the stand the show-offy saxamaphone (hehe) player knocks over without even looking up

Threatening to hit him with it if he does it again

Actually getting Elliot's book for a breif second- nothing about you yet

Humming Green Day tunes under your breath because nobody hears you

Hitting people with sticks, mallets, the hammery thing you hit the chimes with... Whatever we can get our hands on. Be very afraid of a girl with a bass drum mallet

Wearing arm socks when you play... Okay, anybody can do that, but only I do!

Falling asleep

Being asked, "Why are you playing snare?"

Still playing snare when he asks you to play bass drum.

Him knowing you were the one playing because it sounds good.

Getting your yearbook signed by your band director.

Only going out or thinking about going out with trombones

Falling asleep during the movie Stomp Out Loud- you've seen it fifteen times

Only having friends that are flutes.

Stupid Preppie McGee stopping during a song to apply lip gloss

Calling your friend a band geek while at a concert when other grades play

You and said friend (Okay, I lied, she was a clairinet.) hitting and hurting each other durning the concert

Being lucky and hitting her in the elbow with yours right when the applause starts

Her screaming very loud so it sounds like somebody's getting laid in the back of the audotorium.

Always asking your director, bells (now we play xylophone, though) or drums before class

Losing your music

Finding your music in Elliot's poetry book with your name written on it with hearts around it

Being told to highlight parts of the peice you don't know, and highlighting the whole sheet

Getting a sign from God while doing sightreading... the phone rang so you got an extra three minutes to read the peice through

Nobody threatening you because they fear that you will lock them in the pecussion closet

Accidentally locking yourself in the percussion closet (that was embarassing)

Nobody questioning you when you hit them with flying sticks, and/or mallets just for fun

Practicing on your legs until they are bruised

Never listening- and look where we are now!

Playing many, many, many different instruments

Arguing over who gets to play timphani

Having 'sword' fights with your friends

Daydreaming

Grape underwear (Don't ask... Okay, do.)

Stealing somone else's sticks when someone steals yours

Doing a little dance when you make it to symphonic band

Letting the prep think that Elliot is the problem

The only reason you don't look forward to band next year is because none of your friends are in percussion section

A child yelling, "I WANT MY MOMMY!" when the concert band finishes the peice at a concert

Getting unbearably hungry during band because band is your class before lunch.
