So, my friend and I were discussing how marching band has messed with our minds. I thought I'd just let anyone know who's part or been part of a marching band:
1. Keeping in Step:
In band you HAVE to be on the same foot as the other people, starting with the left foot. This practice is particularly annoying especially if you're trying to walk in the hallway, and you're trying to stay on the same foot as the person in front of you! To test this theory, if you have a marching band at you're school, pick out any kid who's in it, and in the hallway, and see what foot they're on compared to the person in front of them. Chances are, they will be on the same foot.
2. Covering Down:
You must always be "covered down" with the person in front of you, or behind you, or in your line or diagonal. Basically, you must be PERFECTLY in line with them. That means no matter where I am, if I'm in a line, I must be covered down! It's crazy!!!
3. Band Camp
Because of band camp, I'm able to stand great amounts of heat, long periods of time without food or water, and can withstand standing for long lengths of time. Enough said.
4. Perverted Jokes
Band kids are more perverted than regular kids. We have quite a few jokes, including calling the trombones, "tromboners", and so on.
5. Pride
Band has given us all a sense of pride. It's "marching band is amazing", and "go away dorkhestra". Don't get me wrong, orchestra is cool and all, but band is awesome
6. Religion
Band is a religion. Or so hardcore band kids claim...
Well, that's all I have to say on the matter, from what I've observed. The thing is, I'm not sure whether these are all the benefits of band or not...
