..........more band humor.

So much political stuff out there - so much backstabbing. I thought I would take a little break from the political scene and share some band humor. I got these via email from an ex-Congressional Page who is trying putting his life back together in therapy. Yes....cheap stab! Anyway, enjoy some band humor.....You know you're part of the marching band when.......

1. You hear music and you start marking time.
2. You walk behind someone and you're in step.
3. You point out key changes and dynamics while listening to the radio.
4. You can't find you way without your drill coordinates.
5. You scold your friends for dating "outside the band".
6. You get hit by a flag and you don't notice.
