Marching 

1. A sport involving rhythmic stepping while simultaneously playing an instrument.
2. A saving grace for those who cannot play any other sport.
3. The only reason some high school students know how football is played.
4. A legitimate reason to use the phrase "this one time at band camp."
5. A sporting event that, when watched, has the capability of giving a band geek chills that come close to orgasmic.
6. Freakin' awesome.

Person: "You know when you're walking with someone and you suddenly realize that you're both walking in time? That is so weird, it's like you're marching!"
Band geek: "You have no idea..."

Marching Baritone 

The heaviest hand-held instrument in the band. Players of the marching baritone will go through the worst kind of hell for the first month or so of the season because of the twenty-pound vertical pull on their arm muscles that they didn't even know they had. They often develop PTSD from the pain and wake up in the middle of the night with war-flashbacks from band camp. Understandably, baritone marchers get hella pissed when trumpets complain about how heavy their instrument is because the baritone is a solid 10-15 pounds heavier. Another drawback of the marching baritone is the bell size which, like the mellophone, completely fucking blocks your forward vision so you can't see the drum major 30% of the time. But despite the satanic training the baritones go through, they will have the fiercest of biceps at the end of the season. Through the blood, sweat, and tears that they shed together the baritone section members have bonded to form a cult of trumpet-loathing Herculeses. Even though every baritone player has stated multiple times that they hate playing their instrument, none of them would give it up for the world. It's definately a love-hate relationship that always ends up tipping more towards the loving side.

Wow, that marching baritone has really good posture! *ten seconds later* Aaaaand it's gone.

Marching the Penguin 

Masturbating

House: You mix rocking, grunting, sweating, and dystonia with concerned parents, and you get an amateur diagnosis of epilepsy. In actuality, all your little girl is doing is saying "Yoo-hoo" to the hoo-hoo.
Mom: She's what?
House: Marching the penguin. Ya-yaing the sisterhood. Finding Nemo. It's called gratification disorder. It's sort of a misnomer. If one was unable to gratify one's self, that would be a disorder.
Mom: Are you saying she's masturbating?
House: I was trying to be discrete, there is a child in the room.

Marching Orders 

Any instructions handed down from on high which clearly delineate where to go and what to do.

I don't care what you think, my marching orders came from the CEO, so if you don't like it you can take it up with him.
