Hope you guys win! We have a saying at our school for the sports teams, "Come back with a win or don't come back at all." Realllly motivating

Hehe, if we had that motto we'd never be allowed in school again (in most of our competitions we're the only one's in our division, but when we weren't we came in second to last)
But it's just a performance,not a competition (thankfully)

@dba: That's cool! We went to Florida a few years ago to march through Universal, and it was pretty much amazing ^.^ We played at the WWII memorial in DC last year, and that was great too...being in band is great ;D
And that list is amazingly accurate as well...my friends and I have done about 80%+ of those things...including walking in step and humming our entire marching folder ;D

I loved going on the band trips and performing! The bad part about last year was that it was about 20 degrees outside, and we were in a place where the wind was constant, so we were freezing cold after playing for about 10 minutes...I think my horn was frozen to my fingers O__o It was a great experience though...too bad that they are only once every 3 years >.< Oh well, I was able to go on 2 trips, so I really shouldn't be complaining ^.^
I sent that list to my band friends, and we were able to come up with about 20 more to add to the list...I think we have qualified as band geeks xD

One of the items I came up with was "If you can fit in your cubby hole (bonus if you're a flute or clarinet player)"...well two days ago, we were all trying to fit into our cubbies, including a guy flute/clarinet player ^.^ He made it in, but then he was stuck, and it took three of us to pull him out XD
When we came back upstairs, our band director was wondering why we were laughing so hard, and so we showed him the list. He actually let us make posters today with the items we came up with on it XDD I got out of passing off scales, so it's all good ^.^

26 days 'till my Disney trip!!! We got the itinerary and we're playing in Epcot. My director decided that we should play the theme song from "Captain EO" (an old Epcot movie/show) in addition to our show music (which means that I have to memorize even more music ). The only lists we make in my band is a list (every year) of quotes from our band director. Our old director said so many funny things (by accident) and our new one is even better. "If I had a nickel for every time *insert name here* was right, I'd have a nickel"
