A fun activity (except for the month of
August and
Wednesday nights or whenever you have rehearsals after the school day) during high school where you will have a lot of fun
memories. Except when the band director and/or the field commanders yell at you.
1. A large group of
people that are all family.
2. Just because the football players aren't playing football during half-time doesn't
mean they aren't playing anything during half-time some football players are also part of the marching band!
3. What happens on the band bus ALWAYS stays on the band bus.
4. Freshman year is the WORST year of marching band.
5. The band director will NEVER call you by your
real name if you are an underclassmen
6. When the band director says one more time it means: we're staying here until it is
perfect.
7. This one time, at band
camp....
8. Your arms get tired of holding up that instrument.
9.Uniforms: sometimes comfortable, sometimes not. Hat: always will be
annoying.
10. Field commanders will always have the best looking uniform!
11. Have a good memory you will be memorizing a lot of
music.
12. The field commanders are horrified when they get on the podium for the first time. It's a little scary up there.
13. Last one. Have fun during band it's a really fun experience!
