30 things i've learned from the MHS Highlander marching band
Rating:
Quality: (Quality: Unrated)
Mr. Haines hardly yells... don't make him.
Everyone in the band at one time or annother will have a crush on someone else... get used to it.
Band camp is suprisingly fun.
Always ask questions.
Always use the restroom before preforming if you need to... don't wait.
Never walk around for 2 hours before you have to march.
The trumpet section is very strange... most are extremely preverted and stay away from the Queen of the Faries.
Don't be too suprised or laugh too hard when a trumpet gets a bottle cap stuck in his trumpet
If you are a freshman, make as many friends as possible and don't make anyone too mad.
If Mr. Cap says one more time and you can go, it means 5 more times and he'll think about it.
You always walk (march)in step with the people you
walk down the hall with. Dont try to fight it, just do
it
You will make friendships that last a lifetime.
You roll your feet everywhere. I see each
and everyone of my fellow band people doing it down
the hall everyday.
You will learn to love, or at least deal with, having
to get dressed on a moving bus.
You will catch yourself going down the hallway
saying under your breath "Left,Left,drum tap,
Left".
You will end up marching in step to the music that's playing at the supermarket.
Always bring your own water jug to Practice.
Although it will be passed around the field four times
before you get it back atleast you know you COULD have water if you wanted it.
You will hum your show in your head no
matter what the theme.
Get used to nicknames
Long bus rides siting near trumpets can really be educational.
Don't get too suprised when a trumpet player wears a bra as a shirt on the way home.
If your football team is really bad, root for the other team.
No matter what you think of your music when you first hear it, you will end up loving it by the end of the season.
During band camp, everyone complains about the heat and says they hate it, but once it's over, everyone says they cant wait till next year.
Twizzlers are'nt as awesome when you're not talking about candy.
If you're the first older marching member the freshman meet, they favor you over everyone else, especially if you're in their section
If you forget how to march in the beginning of your second year, you're bound to fall over at least once
No matter how cool you think the music is, never walk down the hall dodaing your show... people will only stare
If you get in a fight with your friends in the band, don't pay attention who was right and who was wrong, just get over it and keep being friends... it's better that way.
