Us, having done Zumba and fundamentals on the track, waiting for the football team to get off the field so we can work on pregame
Their coach makes them run to a yardline, fall, get back up and do that all the way to the fifty
Someone: whoever says the marching band works harder than the football team is insane

I digress. I think it depends on the school. My school's varsity team is so bad it made my dad laugh at them and we're 1000% my school pride. He said the best part of the game was us.

@Pickles group

Our parents are the only people other than the student section that actually go to games. And there are some where it's literally just us

true lmao

I can't ask the students if the band or football team were better because I'd get some pretty rocky answers.

@Pickles group

Eighth grade band night is tomorrow so we're meeting them today and practicing and I'm gonna be section leader next year so I'm supposed to lead it and I don't remember what we're supposed to do with them

jk just go over with them what they’re supposed to do and how to march onto the field and stuff so they don't look totally horrible.

I'm not entirely sure how it's going to work. Usually, we go on the field at halftime and they come out with us and we play some songs and then we do our show post-game without them. But it sounds like they're actually marching pregame (which is what we call our thing with the fight song and alma mater and the national anthem. I don't know if that's what other people call it) with us this year instead. So I have no clue what's happening and I don't think anyone else does either lol

@Pickles group

We pissed off our (usually door-mat-esque) band director so much the other day that he just left. It was hilarious. And it was really cold yesterday and all the freshmen were super under prepared and I'm excited for it to be cold again today
Our section leaders ended up taking over at eighth grade band night. And once a sophomore did. What the fuck

@Kanaroli group

It was our final rehearsal so some people weren't trying and some of us were and it was making him so mad because people couldn't stop talking and then they wouldn't step off in time. Even though we went over our talking time he said with the most calm yet angry voice "Take a long water break and then we'll do final run throughs(He paused for a sec here)I don't want to rehearse with people who don't care." and it stung to hear those words but it also hurt to see him like that.
