My first marching band parade is tommorrow
We're okay, but we can play the song,and we can march in time. Also we can actually go a mile with only one guy lagging behind and he's a slow bass drummer.

My school does a marching parade every weekend (until next semester) I'm not in band, but my sister and bestfriend are in drill, and my boyfriend is one of those "slow bass drummers" but all the bass drummers in our band keep up, we never have laggers.

Good luck with the parade, just think like this... you may be just playing an insturment, the people look at you as a whole in the band. But if you're a flag twirler in the drill team, its easy to drop the flag, so I think the most pressure is on them.

The worst part won't be embarressment, it will be the fact that Tennessee is really cold at 7:00 P.M. when the parade is.

Come to the chicagoland area, its already below freezing, and theres a fresh layer of snow on the ground. Then you'll be really cold. Just turn up the blast furnace in your head.

Good Luck. Hope you won't need it.

My grandmother died of breast cancer you -blam!- -blam!-. People like you are the scum of society. Inbreds like you are the reason we have so much crime and why the rest of the world hates the U.S. Next time you post, remember: you're nothing and no one cares what you think.

Well you have fun with your muh...muh...marching band Parade. MB sucks. I used to be first chair trumpet, till I found out band is -blam!-. Now I enjoy JROTC and the glory of their parades. Its a helluva lot better than MB and the -blam!- they wish they could do.
....P.S. I'm the bastard who will say no to piss you off.

It's a lot better to be cold in a marching band uniform than it is to be hot in one, I know. Just be sure to wear extra layers under your uniform and you shouldn't be too bad off.

Ive had parades in the begging of the year. If your bass drummer is slow that can be a dangerus thing to happen. Ill i have to say is guide constantly. Ive been donig it for 4 years. It gets fun. Just practice and make sure people in your section know their music.

Here in Canada, I have my oil lamp cranked to the max, and it's still cold.

=(

Maybe it's because my walls are made of snow.

First off, jackass, you need a good reason to call me -blam!-. I have multiple reasons for calling marchin Band -blam!-. I was in it for 6 years, and it never got better. Oh, yeah, we did win the occasional superior, but thats it. They are the most picked on kids in school. Jrotc is a helluva lot better than MB ever will be. Do you even know what that is? I bet you don't unless you just Googled it or something. So shut your trap. I wasn't singling any-one individual out and calling them -blam!- or stupid, just marching band as a whole. So keep your illiterate comments to yourself.
Oh and at least I know how to use Grammar and Punctuations and not lean on the shift key, Dick.

I've been in marching band for four years. I certainly do not enjoy it. The only reason I'm doing it is to keep up my musical abilities, since they will be my ride through college.

Dudes marching band is so fun. Just because you guys may suck doesnt mean marching band sucks as a whole.
