A/N: So, this part is for Marching Band. There'll be a part for Symphonic Band, too.

MARCHING BAND IS…

1 MUFFINS!

2 "Eat the MUFFIN!"

3 "MUFFIN IN FACE!"

4 When the BD is the Muffin Man's wife

5 Killing/Eating the Muffin Man (AKA the BD's husband, even though we saw him)

6 The Muffin Man's responsibilities being given to the lead DM (although he doesn't know it)

7 French Fries at Jack-in-the-Box

8 Almost running into the trumpet player repeatedly during practices

9 Crying after the big competition

10 Having a crush on your drum major (he bought me lunch, okay?)

11 "Nine!"

12 People cheering for you when you get to the first impact at the big competition

13 "Winnemuc-CAW!"

14 "Plp-Goats" (and then laughing for about five minutes after that)

15 "Rape face!"

16 The Nazi Mannequin

17 Having to carry your Mellophone forever and your arm nearly falling off because of it at a competition

18 Dancing to the drum cadence when you're waiting to get into the bathroom

19 Getting a concussion by jumping on a water bottle (only I can do that, and I wouldn't recommend it, although it was pretty freakin hilarious)

20 Possessed bobby pins (seriously, those things hated me)

21 When the rain follows you from the rainy state to your state, in which you're not used to so much rain (that was such a rip-off!)

22 Almost getting kicked out of Macy's

23 The Star Wars Store! (that place was a band geek magnet, man)

24 Getting married and still not being dead after many, many, many, MANY years of being married to the same freakin guy (although my CSL is gonna make death certificates, so hopefully we'll be dead before the end of this week)

25 Actually sleeping on the way back home from the competition in a different state (for the whole time, which was about 9-10 hours)

26 When you make your DM have a mental breakdown because you were singing songs (it looked like he was having a seizure because he was banging on the seat of the bus. It was pretty frikkin hilarious and he got really mad at us)

27 Having this conversation with my fello Mello (heheh, that rhymed!) when she went to get lunch and I just tagged along:
Mello 1: *grabs a bunch of napkins*
Me: "Holy Napkins!"
Mello 1: "'Holy napkins'? Where did you come up with that? HOLY COW!"
Me: *Laughs* "Wow! Are the lunch ladies just making a bunch of holy things now?"
Mello 1: *Wraps hamburger in napkins* "Yes. They're just making everything holy."
Me: "And now you're wrapping the holy cow in the holy napkins."

28 When my CSL takes me home and we get caught up talking (my CSL, the DM, and a clarinet player) in front of the DM's house

29 When we freaked the DM out because the Grim Reaper who turned his head looked at the DM (He freaked out and was like, "AAAAH! DRIVE! DRIVE!")

30 Me and my CSL joking about him passing out/dying while driving while the DM and clarinet spider are freaking out because he had "died" and was going to do crazy things with his driving (but me being excited)

31 Me being basically immune to my CSL's driving because of my older brothers

32 When you don't tell your mom you're riding with your CSL to school on the day of the band trip

33 Basically just freaking your Drum Major out all the time (it's what the Mellos do!)

34 Listening to "The Emperor's New Groove" soundtrack and thinking that it'd be freaking awesome if the jazz band played the songs from that movie (It's freaking amazing, okay?)

35 Getting high from my shampoo (you could smell my hair and you would get high, I swear. That's where I get my stock. It was awesome! ((not really. i'm not a druggie. i just act like it, because that who I am...I'm a Mello, 'nuff said, right?)) )

MARCHING IS ALWAYS AWESOME!
