Marching Band

Hey! Is anyone here in a Marching Band? 🤣

no.

Yes, came back from Band camp, not too long ago

Wouldn't be so bad if they could play the instruments !

... i play trumpet, piano, and percussion. And a little guitar(aucoustic).

Most of my friends are in marching band. . . I would be in it, but i don't play a band instrument

Ahhhh but Snuggles....

Do you play them well ?

Most marching bands sound off-key when they are prancing around !

OR....am I just imagining it ?

Imagining it,
Either that or somethings wrong with the band, Most times they sound just as good marching as playign inside. Or it could be a bad spot, playing outside isn't exaclty ideal acustics. But most marching bands DO sound good and in-tune while marching around, and I've seen alot!

I know who is! 😱

but i wont tell 🤺

i play the piano, not yet in any band 😖 (waiting for propositions) does that count?

I guess it depends on how good your hearing and pitch is !

The only good-sounding marching bands that I know are the pipes and drums of the world champion Coats & Dykehead band.

Talk about "stirring" ?

I try to think that my ear is pretty good, at least realativly,

Wow, thats big! Is that Bagpipes is see?

I was in marching band, even though I didn't play an instrument...I was on color guard! 😱 We were very good, too...we took first place in a state competition ✅

I'm in a marching band. I play the clarinet.

I was part of a marching band about 7 years ago, it was fun 😖 I really liked to go to practice 😛

see, now to me, they saound off key, and our highschool marching boand sounds fine to me, so it may just be what we're used to listening to. 🙂

im in band...its not acutually marching band, but we march like twice a year...i play clarinet...

this one time at band camp....hehe sorta reminded me of that

i'm not in marching band this year but i played keyboard and clarinet for three years in the band. my friends are in marching band and they practice like 30 hours a week outside in the sun...haha they come back all burnt and gross 😬

I'm not in marching band, I'm in the school string orchestra. Which beats the shit out of marching band 😛

It's pretty cool though, when we're getting ready for this big competition we go to every year, we get to/have to stay 10-15 minutes into the next period almost every day 😎. And we're considered one of the best high school orchestras (even among the symphonic orchestras, we don't have percussion or anything) in the state. ✅

Orchestra....sweet....I've played violin for 9 years ✅

I just got back from a game. It was cool! Our football team lost but we did our routine better than ever so far! The other band had a racecar driving theme! Though I don't think their dance team knew what they were doing. We've only gotten 1s and 2s in competitions/festivals (well, since I've been here, 3 years). We even marched in the London's New Year Parade! 😄

Anyways, Marching Band is really fun besides the practices in the sun which eventually get freezing cold! 😉

I play the clarinet by the way 😮
