I'm a Junior in highschool, getting on to my 8th or 9th year of being in a school band. And, honestly I'm tired of everyone assuming it's boring. Okay sometimes it is, I've even fallen asleep in band once or twice, but that's why we have each other. And I'm telling you all this because I was inspired, I spent a good half-hour petting and scratching my former color guard sophomore (freshman?) friend like she's a cat while she played on my phone. And that's not even the weirdest thing I've done or seen behind the concrete walls that separate entertaining insanity from... normal insanity. I couldn't begin to start about the inside jokes, the stuffed animals hidden around the band room, or the time my teddy bear covered in fake blood sat on top of the old T.V for a whole semester. There's also the fact that we're all salty about the lack of funding we get. But band is where you make memories, or in some cases nearly get dragged into a closet with a hot horny Senior boy...I think I regret not going in, instead we stuffed it full of random band members and...yeah it was weird, but funny as hell.
