I.) the only club in the entire high school which requires work before the school year even starts.
i.e. BAND CAMP
1. wake up at 6:45 every morning to arrive at school BEFORE 8am (to be on time is to be late, and to be early is to be on time)
2. work your butt off until 12 outside learning sets and reviewing marching
3. work on your music inside, or go outside to run your sets with the music, until 3:30 (or 5:00 if you have sections)
4. go home until 6:00 and head off to a band party until 10:30
5. try to stay awake long enough to take a shower
6. set your alarm for the next morning
7. go up to no. 1
II.) then, it requires practice after school...
monday, wednesday, thursday - 2:30 - 4:45 (so u can catch the 5:00 bus)
tuesday - marching clinic
friday - GAME DAY calltime is 5 so you mine as well stay anyway...
saturday- competition !!
sunday - holiday parades or tv gigs anyone?
III.) Where you meet your second family, and your best friends and where you gain all of your inside jokes that go on your buddy profile.

the most underappreciated team in any school.
a group of students who practice as many hours or more as any other team. A team expected to have every movement, head to toe, in precision while playing an instrument to a complex score by memory and moving across the entire football field forming perfect imagery all while wearing the most ungodly uncomfortable uniforms. and other than a claims by other members receive no recognition other the negative stereotyping

I've put more time and effort into perfecting my music, choreography, and technique then all of my classes combined yet no one even acknowledged our marching band won the state championship

possibly the BEST thing ever invented. it's a way to connect with people and make amazing friends that will last forever. it's hard work, but it really pays off. marching band is a second family.
A: Hey, you wanna hang out tonight?
B: Only if by "hanging out" you mean going to marching band practice.

hell on earth. only good when you have a huge band and a teacher who isnt a total cuntwad. something that you can get thrown out of for improvising.
john got kicked out of the marching band because he improvised all his snare parts because his teacher is a fuckface and cant see what a good drummer he is. it didn't help that he made fun of her obesity and he was an athlete
