Misadventures of the Skaia High School Band

Another Homestuck marching band au! (run by Nico, she/her)

[shs-marching-frogs]

as a marching band kid (not a big fan of it though), we'd like to say that your au is so scrungly

Ty ty

Most of the stuff in my posts are things that actually happened in my school’s marching band so that might be why?? Idk but I’m glad that you like the au!!!

[shs-marching-frogs]

Overheard at SHS...

John: Guys, I just saw Eridan working at CVS

Terezi: T3LL H1M 1 TH1INK H3 K1SS3S BOYS

[shs-marching-frogs]

Is this AU still running?!!?

sort of? I have a job and school, as well as being in the marching band, so updates are few and far inbetween

[shs-marching-frogs]

what voice is aranea?

She's def a soprano (but one of the good ones)

[shs-marching-frogs]

who else is in choir? ooh! is roxy in choir?

John, Equius, Eridan, Feferi, Jake, Roxy, Kankri, Meulin, Porrim, Aranea, and Cronus are in choir!

Eridan and Cronus both get obnoxious about it and Meulin can't find a pitch for the life of her, but they all have a good time.

[shs-marching-frogs]

Headcanon that Terezi isn’t bad at driving because she’s blind, but rather because her spacial reasoning sucks

[shs-marching-frogs]

Damara in her guard uniform!?!?!

Band Camp Adventures at SHS

Yes, this is because I just finished band camp. shhhhh ignore it shhhhh.

The entire band forced Mr. Noir to do pushups any time he makes a mistake/tells them to do the wrong thing/etc.

Terezi and Dave both bought clip-on fans to attach to their harnesses

Terezi's fan died half way through her third day and she had a breakdown because of it

Latula had the WORST harness tanlines known. to man.

The Disciple and the Sufferer were hired to help with band camp

All of the flautists loved the disciple but the Sufferer?? They BULLIED that man

Vriska got in trouble for talking back. Multiple times.

One of the sets of the third song got named after Eridan and he got PISSED about it

The saxophones petitioned Mr. Noir for the band to have nap time. On their fourth day, they got it

Feferi, Aradia, Rufioh, and Roxy played limbo with one of the colorgaurd's flags

Mr. Noir carried around a party-sized bag of chips and refused to share it with anyone

Cronus got hit with Damara's flag. Multiple times.

Jane supplied everyone with sunglasses b/c she is the band mom

Kanaya found out that Meenah had been wearing a men's uniform for the past three years of band

Meenah got told she had football player shoulders and tried to beat someone up because of it

[shs-marching-frogs]

John: Roxy, do you play Raid: Shadow Legends?

Roxy, pausing the Kesha song she was listening to: I’m sorry?

Rating Guard Uniforms that I Think SHS Would Wear

I'm not in guard, but I have MANY opinions on their uniforms.

I enjoy the fact that this is moveable and that under armors could easily be layered under it, but the capri leggings bother me. Bonus points for being simple, but not monochrome. 8/10

I am LOVING the purple and the top of it. Once again, this one looks easy to layer, but it loses points because someone would definitely trip over that skirt. My main gripe with it is that it's just a little bit bland. 6/10

Incredibly ugly and makes me sad, but it doesn't look like it would be too hard to move in. 1/10

I am absolutely in love with the fact that this is both purple and yellow. It looks relatively easy to move in, and it already has sleeves and leggings. I also enjoy the regal vibe that it give off. 10/10

Loving the puffy sleeves and sort of dreamy, fancy look of it, but the singular wide pant leg confuses me. 7/10

The SLEEVES??? The TOP HAT??? The PURPLE AND YELLOW COMBO??? Yeah, yes, love it. Love love love. It kinda serves midnight crew?? 9/10

[shs-marching-frogs]

(gosh now youve made me want to hear porrim singing lol)

I always headcannoned her to have an alto voice lol. I think she'd sound kind of like Courtney Love.

[shs-marching-frogs]

Overheard at the SHS Band's trip to the fair...

Terezi: H3Y K4RK4T! TRY P4R4LL3L P4RK1NG!

Karkat, on the bumper cars: FUCK YOU!

[shs-marching-frogs]

so you mean like this? (in reference to porrim)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s8wzOZhXtQ

Yep, pretty much!

[shs-marching-frogs]

Tbh as a writer I IMPLORE all of you to send me headcannons, overheard at shs posts, whatever you want b/c I love knowing what you guys think the homestuck characters would be like in a high school setting.

[shs-marching-frogs]

Overheard at SHS...

Roxy: I can't wait to never have to parallel park.

Karkat: WHERE IS IT EVEN APPLICABLE TO US?

Roxy: Jade's street.

Karkat: WHAT AM I GONNA HAVE TO PARALLEL PARK INTO? SOME FUCKING CORN??

[shs-marching-frogs]

is porrim in choir?

I've actually never considered that possibility! But yeah, and she'd probably be the alto section leader.
