Marching Band

Intensive walking while playing an instrument.

"When you march, you want to take your foot and place it in front of the other foot."
"Wait, isn't that walking?"
"NO SHUT THE FUCK UP IT'S MARCHING LOOK AT MY FUCKING FEET. THIS IS FUCKING MARCHING BAND NOT WALKING BAND."

Marching Band Withdrawl Syndrome

Also known as MBWS. The feeling of being lost and alone after the marching band season has ended. You now have free weekends, but what will you do? Didn't you have a marching band competition? What will you do?

Yeah, last year my Marching Band Withdrawl Syndrome was really bad.

machiavelli

Awesome dude who lived in Italy a loong time ago. His best known book is "The Prince", which contains political tips for rulers. Some of his ideas from this book (and maybe a few from "The Discourses") as far as I can remember:

-The Prince must be ruthless.
-Effectiveness > good/bad.
-Power should be acquired, not hereditary.
-People are moral because others are watching. Political morality is lying and killing. Politicians must learn how NOT to be good.
-Be feared; cruelty is a part of the state. But remember that the best fortress that exists is to avoid being hated by the people. Three ways to avoid being hated: Don't be erratic. Don't be a coward, FIGHT. And don't do anything for no reason.
-Concept of seeming vs being: The Prince, while seeming human, must learn how to be a beast. Like a fox (cunning and tricky) or a lion (powerful).
-And my personal favorite, he talks about these two dudes named Agathocles the Sicilian and Oliverotto of Fermo who both held meetings/banquets with leaders and important people and killed them all and took over as ruler. Point is, the elite can be killed, they're not important. The people are important.
-Choose the people around you wisely. Ass kissers prevent you from seeing the truth cause they're always like "yes, you're awesome" to everything.
-For a strong society, you must assume that everyone has the potential to be evil and make laws accordingly. People act good only when forced, laws exist where desire is.

Lindsay Lohan was once photographed walking around with a copy of Machiavelli's book. True story.

Marching Band

1. A cult of the top students in the school, playing as one, moving as one, becoming one.

2. The greatest thing I've ever experienced.

Marching kids hate MB during practice, love MB during competitions, and miss MB when its over.

Marching Band Withdrawal

That time period after marching band season when you don't know what to do with your life. It usually begins towards the end of November, leading to weight gain due to the upcoming holiday season and lack of regular exercise that one had previously.

Man, I'm having serious marching band withdrawal right now. I don't start my homework on our old rehearsal days until 9.
