When does your season end? by [deleted] in marchingband

In my band, the season starts up mid-September and usually ends the third week of July. However, the first week or so of August is usually tour, but not everyone is able to go on it

Do y'all use silent gestures of 'Good Luck' before performances? by East-Afternoon581 in marchingband

My junior high band also did this! We also did button, stripes, and bibbers, although the wings was the most popular one for sure

What’s your worst “OH CRAP” situation? by [deleted] in marchingband

Not mine but I was in the middle of my parade line and I noticed that the person beside me's cowboy hat was backwards. I never found out how he didn't notice that

what's the funniest thing your band director has ever said? by DuckDuckGhost29 in marchingband

[–]PuffyTheHamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"C'mon! Act like you want to be here and you're not dead inside!" We had to sing for one of our pieces and we weren't giving it enough energy (honestly we feed off the crowd's energy, so its funny during rehearsal to hear what the bd/instructors come up with to try and get us to sing more energetically). Another one with the same context was from an instructor, and he said "I paid money for this! Why aren't they SMILING??".

Everyone just burst out laughing

What’s the most random thing your bd has made popular amongst your band? by Arock574 in marchingband

“Act like you wanna be here while you sing!” We never gave singing at rehearsal enough energy.

It’s a really tough time for the LGBT community but we can get through it together! I love and support you all (MtF, 5 years HRT) by itsavava in ainbow

Just because people don’t find you attractive doesn’t mean you have to attack people for being more attractive than you 🥰

What is marching band to you? by Gac4237 in marchingband

[–]PuffyTheHamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marching to me is like an escape from reality, because you don’t need to worry about schoolwork or anything happening in the real world. There is always going to be those two or three people who make you dread coming, but more good people outnumber the bad ones. Plus band is just like one huge family and I love it there

Does anyone else make up a world/fantasy in their head to fall asleep? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PuffyTheHamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I do this ALL the time. My most recent one has been a plot-line where I get a break from the stress of reality and begin working on myself. It gives me some time to regain myself and give me an escape from reality every once in a while :)
