Someone who can relate anything to Band. And has more friends in the band than out of the band!

Someone who can take any song at all and make it deal with marching band.

It's just a flank to the left!

And a yard to the riiaaaaght!

Put your horn in the air, and keep your legs squeezed tiaaaaaght!

But it's the four to fiaaaaaave, that really drives you insaaaaaaaaaaaine...

I love marching band and I like my honors english class.

#9 Mar 24th, 4:26pm

So do I, but I place priority on MB when I sign up for classes.

(Probably since I've got one year down.)

#10 Mar 24th, 4:45pm

Someone who's only dated other band geeks.

#11 Mar 24th, 5:42pm

Someone who's ever had a crush on their drum major!

#12 Mar 24th, 6:00pm

Or band director. (Not me personally, but I know a lot of girls who do)

Someone who has all the shows they've marched on their iPod and is trying to figure out how to put it as their ringtone.

Speaking of, our timphany (sp?) player managed it.

#13 Mar 24th, 6:21pm

Dang.

*blushes at the mention of band director*

#14 Mar 24th, 6:21pm

I had to get this in.

Knowing that "Pain is temporary, Pride is forever" really does apply.

A local middle school had that on their shirts this year, and I loved it. Well, we all did.

#15 Mar 24th, 6:40pm

My school's JROTC has this on all their shirts, and it really applies to marching band.

'We bust ours to kick yours'

#16 Mar 24th, 6:56pm

That's awesome.

*Sigh* I swear, crushes on BDs....

Pah. At least it was in MS.

#17 Mar 24th, 7:19pm

EWWW! That is wrong on so many levels! Arg! I thought my crush on my drum major was bad enough. Gosh! some people have problems!

#18 Mar 24th, 8:47pm

But he's young.

I got over that. I THOUGHT I liked him, but....

I dunno. I didn't know what crushes were like back then.

#19 Mar 24th, 8:49pm

Like how young? If he's like in his early twenties its not so bad but it's like having a crush on your teacher! Its just gross!

#20 Mar 25th, 8:52am

Lemme see...

He's 30 now...Junior- 3 years. 7th grade...2

He was 25 ish.

Anyways...it was like the whole band girl population liked him.

#21 Mar 25th, 10:57am

I have a 25 year old teacher and I only know of one girl that ever liked him and she graduated 3 years ago. Still gross but anyway!

Tory Loves Percussionists

Someone who finds themselves humming their cadence and counting their steps, figuring out what step you're supposed to be at in a certain section.

Someone who has never missed a sectional.

Someone who always walks in step with the people around them.
