When other people go into panic mode, I tend to go into calm emergency mode. A year ago my boyfriend dropped me from a piggyback ride onto a sidewalk—a lot of poorly thought through actions leading to my face smashing into a subway grate in the sidewalk. After my initial shock and freakout, the ambulance arrived and…

I actually think I’ve seen other bands do both? (If they even had one) My little noodle arms would have hurt me daily if I had tried to hold it up!!

Hah, that sounds like my aunt—she played clarinet but only wanted to do concert band and orchestra. When she was in college the director of the marching band kept trying to get her to march and she had had enough in HS.

AHHHH I love Anastasia, I would have LOVED doing that field show.

I didn’t march in college, and I really wish I had! I had a lot of friends who did and they had so much fun

Yes! I was a band geek AND a choir nerd :D

yoooooooooooooo

I got the Sousa award too! Except my director gave it to me without getting it engraved and then never got around to doing it. So I have the little award without my name on it (nine years later)

Ooof, the band uniforms—-horribly hot at the beginning of football season, and somehow not warm enough by the end! I remember a Christmas parade that was so cold my poor fingers nearly froze, and I KNOW it all sounded like shit with our frozen mouths.

My school’s band was not good either—but we were scrappy! We had good times regardless!

I played bass clarinet my freshman year! I marched it too, and I couldn’t hold it up like you’re supposed to so I used a neck strap like sax—I was a very small lil freshman lol. But it gave me some cred!

ME TOO

YES! It’s SUPPOSED TO BE FUN! Why does fun have to be so serious??? Let the girls join your party!

I guess bc now that there’s lady Ghostbusters all copies of the original movie will be destroyed because obviously both can’t exist

Holy motherfucker that hurts my soul! That’s so much money that I will never have at one time.

That’s the thing, very few people can tell the difference, and if they can and they’re the kind of person to say anything snide about it, they’re a shitty person to begin with!

that’s the plan

Grandma’s been dead for about 15 years, so

I think he’s in real estate or finance or something—NYC

GOD YES
