Shit I've Heard and/or Said This Marching Season, 2021 Edition
*holding a drumstick* "What is this again?"
"We have 14 idiots and the section leader"
*during an icebreaker* "My hobby is wasting time"
"I hope no one hears me yelling 'fuck'"
"We’re the stragglers, those are super stragglers"
"I get my images from the best app ever created: Twitter dot com"
Piccolo player: I'm gonna play that high A and the saxes are going to drop like flies
"I'm obsessed with the fact that someone thought a chicken toy screaming into a speaker right by my ear would phase me. I play notes higher than that in the show."
*marcher drops a towel* "Oh no, your personality!"
"That's a big ass phone- Wait that's an iPad."
"This is why we try to get you to play baritone before you hold one."
Drum major: "Every day I lose a small amount of sanity." Me: "Small?" Drum major: "A CONSIDERABLE amount"
"Man, juniors, what am I gonna do once you all graduate? Can you all tank your grades next year?"
"How does it take four people to read a single drill sheet?!"
"If it's bad, it's good. Don't tell the band director I said that."
"Well that was spectacular...ly bad."
(As the drumline instructor books it across the lot) "Not as young as he used to be!"
"Imagine getting killed by a peace sign."
"You ever think about how this week,, fairy wings were most often bought my six year olds and marching band kids."
“To be fair, not knowing what himbo means is just quintessential himbo behavior.”
"Legend says that band camp used to be an FBI interrogation technique, but it was banned for being too inhumane. And now they make high schoolers go through it."
"I student taught at this school and all I got to do was play taps on the drum."
"How far can you stick a piccolo up a trumpet?"
(To the tune of Here Comes the Sun) "Here comes the ball, doo-doo doo-doo"
(At a plane passing overhead) "Lufthansa... I feel like it's not a good sign that we can tell what the airline is"
"Whoa I just traveled back to the 50s... that's what happens when you get old, time isn't linear anymore."
"You have such sturdy thighs, man." "This is why we say two and a half saxes are gay."
"The director's going to change the way we enter the field if the judged hate it. I swear he's such a pick me director."
"Wanna know what kind of mother my mom is? She took like 20 pictures of me just standing there."
Drum Major, after a section leader gives instructions: Did that make sense to any of you? Because that did not make any sense to me.
