...drop dead on the field, become a zombie, then continue practicing until you die again. Ever had days like these? Where Marching band just decides your fate is to belong souly to it alone. TO plegde you life to getting a C average so you can march next year compeitition. To throw your flag, play your trombone, beat those drums, and listen to everything else in cordinance forever. Amen. *bows head to the band director* Yep a band kid for sure :). Our life is difficult but extrodinary ;p . Lord I love the band. *throws a flag which catches on a tube and sends it flying 15 yards over* My bad... Anyone else got good stories of band? *hits self on head with rifle* wow *names the new bruise*

Marching season's over for my band. My life's so boring without it. I can't wait for the Spring!

Oh, I've got a few stories. But I think this one might be a good one to tell: Back in November/December we had an indoor concert. Everyone was all busy getting ready and stuff, which means that the colourguard was shoved into the nursery (one of the campuses at my high school has a nursery) to get ready. One of my friends and I got ready early, and happened to come across a box of puppets, fished through it, and took out a crocodile puppet. We decided to have some fun. Now, the band room is down stairs and has two entrances; one that most of the instrumentalists take, and another one that's easier for the drum line to take because it's right where they're supposed to sit. My friend and I decided to give the drumline a puppet show. So we hid on either side of the doors and I moved the puppet while she watched their reaction. Only a few of the drumline kids were playing their drums and stuff while facing the door, so I had the crocodile "looking" at them through the window in the door (I whacked it's head against the window a few times to get them to look over). Apparently they did look, but at the moment it was more like "WTF?" instead of "hahacrocodile", so we had the crocodile do random things...and the kids kept watching. Eventually one of my other friends saw what we were doing, and grabbed two other puppets; a yellow big bird-esque thing, and a white sea lion. She gave the bird one to my other friend, and we continued with the show. It started with my first friend holding the yellow bird up to the window, and had it wave a few times (the drumline kids started to find it funny), and then it'd bop around. Then after a while I had the crocodile sort of "creep" into view, then back out, then back in while getting closer to the bird. I paused for a few seconds, and then made the crocodile attack the bird (which apparently caused them to crack up). The crocodile went down with the bird in it's mouth, then it would rise up again and shake the bird (now free of my friend's hand), then go down and so on, until finally I threw the puppet at the window. Then my other friend used the sea lion, and we basically reinacted a sort of mortal kombat thing (croc v. sea lion) which ultimately ended up with the croc killing the seal. I'm guessing the drumline started to lose interest, because a few of them started to play, so I made the crocodile headbang to what they were playing. They were watching, though, because they stopped playing...and when they stopped playing, the croc stopped headbainging and sorta looked at them, occasionally whacking the window. So then for about five minutes it was play/headbang pause play/headbang etc. Then they started to throw drumsticks at the doors =X Eventually we got yelled at to set our equipment, and the next time we had to get changed the box of puppets was gone XD.
