Christmas Parade 2001
from the perspective of a flute/piccolo player

If I practice inside my ears hurt, if I practice outside the neighbors throw things at me.
2001 season
The best instrument for the hot days of band camp is the pocket sized piccolo!
I Wish...
And now for some humor....

You might be a band dork if:

-
the word 'band' gets thrown into your sentance even though you didn't mean to say it
-you use cork grease as chapstick
-listening to a tape of band music makes you want to dance
-you wear your uniform to lunch infront of your ordinary classmates and no one seems to notice
-people dont recognize you when your not wearing your letter jacket
-you realize you are walking in step with other band dorks between classes
-when the band stops at the mall, you march through the stores
-you simply cannot stop humming your show music
-you REALLY know what goes on in the flute sectional at band camp
-the words "water break" cause a stampede and you know why
-you only date in the band
-ordinary classmates think a band joke is funny, but you remember two years ago when you made it up. It was funny then.
-you wear band shirts to church
-someone comments on the game friday night and you completely forgot that the football team was there
-you own more band shirts then normal shirts
-you know rookies by their coordinate number
-you take better care of your instrument than your hair
-there is no doubt in your mind you could perform your show backwards while asleep
-you've heard piccolos tuning and lived through it
