OOoo yay... Marching band practice!
Because our school is seemingly run by those on par intellectually with our prezident, they only leave four tiny lights on for an entire football field.

What's the problem?

Forty-five band students, walking around, at 7:30 at night. With instruments. And we cannot see.

We cannot see, people. Bad things will happen.

Like running into one another, banging into things, and stepping on crunchy parts of the field and then figuring out that was your best friends reed case.

1. I love marching band rehearsals where they leave the lights on...
Or when they forget to turn the timer off the sprinklers. x(

At least they let you on the football field. We were banned from the actual field for two weeks, but we were allowed to use the (much smaller) practice field. Except, it had no yard lines on it!

We had to sneak out and paint yard lines on it. That was fun. :evilgrin:

What do you play?

4. We might have to.
Looks like it might rain over here. Oh well, sucks to be me...

And, I can't drink water, our teacher won't let us use the potty during practice.
