Band Kid Problems :)
- Hearing the Doctor Beat in your sleep during band camp. :)
- Going to ghetto places with the band.
- Moody section leaders/captains.
- Kids who have been in band for 4 years and STILL can’t march.
- When someone takes your seat on the band bus.
- Those hot, sticky nights where all you do is sweat at practice and half of the band decides they don’t need deodorant.
- Being screamed at by your band director as he makes you run a lap.
- Your calves are dying from a workout and you feel like you’ve been backwards marching all day.
- Run for 10 minutes? Kill me now. March for 12 hours? No problem.
- What are football players doing on the band field??? ;)
- Alright guys we’re just going to take one step…DO IT 50 TIMES.
- One more time really means 50 more times.
- Field shows…the only shows where nose bleed seats are good seats.
- Home game and the other team’s band walks in…COMPETITION.
- “I’m so excited for football season to start!” “I believe you are referring to marching season.”
- Counts off, takes one step, RESET.
- Get in uniform, suddenly have to pee.
- Bus ride there: Loud conversations, screaming, and singing. Bus ride back: Cuddling, Sleeping, deep conversations.
- Out of tune freshman..whole section gets blamed.
- Cloud comes overhead at band camp…THANK YOU CLOUD.
- Spend 45 minutes on warm-up…spend 15 minutes on the actual song.
- Marching season: WE ARE A FAMILY. Concert season: I hate all of you..
- Someone squeaks…the entire clarinet section giggles for 20 measures.
- Rival band at a football game…JUDGE ALL OF THE THINGS!!!
- Watch the other band perform: KEEP EYES PEELED FOR MISTAKES.
- Normal kids sing pop songs…we sing drum cadences.
- I can unzip a uniform jacket easily…I cant zip a dress to save my life.
- Cold weather sets in…bye-bye water breaks.
- You have the worst sock tan ever…THANK YOU!
- Mess up B flat major scale…how does that even happen??
- That one kid who’s never at attention.
- Screwed up diagonals…typical.
- Freshman tries to get in on a joke from last year…NO BITCH YOU WEREN’T THERE!
- Once a band geek, always a band geek.
- One trumpet learns to play a song by ear. By next week, the entire section can play it.
- Work all summer for an even tan…have a farmer’s tan after a week of band camp.
- Two left gloves? I’ll manage.
