A Short History Of Marching Band Cults.

A Short History of Marching Band Cults.

A Short History Of Marching Band Cults.

Why are we like this? Good question! Let's start in the beginning.

By the beginning, I mean middle school, by the way. Middle school - when you start embracing the fact that band is your life now and you cant escape it! All your friends have either left you or joined band because you dont have a life!

Then, high school rolls around. Most of middle school band wants their friends back at this point, so they abandon band and do, idk, cheerleading or smth for popularity!

Then there are the diehard band nerds. These people stay in band through high school. They, near the conclusion of band camp, are admitted into the Marching Band Cult.

A cult is extreme for this, you say? Ah, that's where you're wrong! We regularly worship our Marching Band Gods and pray that we dont face plant. We hold a sacrafice of one trumpet or flute player a year, as their sections are too crowded anyway. We bleed for band, especially when our instruments are wanted for attempted murder, but we love our children. Most of our instruments are named really weirdly. We have led the new ones into this trap.

The ones who esca- leave think that they made a mistake joining in the first place, but how wrong they are. As you join us, the attention whistle sounds, a circle forms in the background, you are home.

hello dearest band nerds that follow me. I have announcements to make.

firstly I have changed my name.

shanadoestrumpet -> shanaistired

both of these are still true. but i have gained a personality outside of being a band kid so here are the rest of my announcements.

you most likely follow me because i am a marching band blog. unfortunately i also made the mistake of making this my main so if I want to do anything ever people will see that I am a nerd. This doesn't bother me but i am enlightened and wish for more.

anyways! I have other personality traits now! I am a comedian and im funny and i dance and do theater and im a woman in stem.

I still do marching band!! But other things too. I'll be reblogging things that aren't band soon, and will be very annoying about it. I'll still post about band! But mostly other shit.

Anyways if you think I'm cool you can stick around, like, I'm funny and things, I swear. But im freeing myself from the band nerd chains I created years ago.

I love all of you and I thank you for following me as a humble band kid, but I am also letting you know this blog isn't staying the same. If you don't want to stick around that's cool also as well :) don't feel bad about unfollowing me !

That's all! Starting soon I'm gonna get real annoying! See yall later :D

yeah it was pretty good. the valves get stuck more than my other one, but other than that its pretty good quality.

I'd definitely say get a used one for a first one, but be careful which one you get people are sketchy

@ our rival school (yes, we could hear you we didnt need that, thanks)

today’s question of the day, “Why on earth would you boo a marching band”, brought to you by college football

also “Why on earth would you threaten members of a marching band”

🎉 and 🎆?

🎉 - Best band victory?

My band doesnt do competition (yet our new directors might set that up), but we had a game with out football team that is not the greatest and wOW it was something when they won. We went absolutely insane and it felt real good 😌

🎆 - Any band memories you want to carry with you forever?

My first year of band camp! Was WILD. Pool night, skit night, section competitions, etc. That hopefully never leaves me

My ex-clarinetist brother has just picked up french horn, and within the span of two days he has broken the string on one on the valves.
