this is why people should join their marching band in high school. idk about other bands but this is about ours. we go crazy, have parties, drive the director (and each other) absolutely nuts, and of course play music. now some more info: we may be the smallest band in our conference (40 members, the others in our conference have around 80-100 or something like that), but compared to others, we all play, and have the loudest sound. it gets a lot of complements.
