(Marching) Band is...

Marching out on the track, rain or shine
Keeping your chin up and staying in line
Holding your flute parallel to the ground
Hitting the drums, listening to the sound
Yelling your face off at each football game
Defending the band when your friends call it lame
Drawing the drum majors up on the board
Spinning down hallways when everyone's bored
Wearing the hats and the shiny black shoes
Being hit by a trombone and getting a bruise
Shoving the fluffy feathers into your hat
Being able to tell if your instrument's flat
Leaving lunch early to go off to Band
Fighting over who puts away the music stand
Memorizing songs and marching around
Wondering if you will ever sit down
Playing songs, trying to find the right beat
Wondering why you have sores on your feet
Gaming with band friends (especially Brawl)
Remembering the whistles and all the band calls
Knowing that your band is number one...
But most of all, Band is just having fun.
