Insert tired marching band player here
Last night the marching band had to play it's traditional Bates Field follies. This is kind of a concert that we play every year to end the marching band season. Usually it's the last time we have to play with marching instruments, but for some reason it was scheduled before our last game. It was fun, but very hot and very unorganized. For starters when we marched into the gym (where the follies are held) we had to fallow the people behind us. And for some reason they weren't going in a straight line. Like they just decided to put in a little curve, but we had to fallow them, so we did. Secondly, when we marched to our seats there weren't enough chairs. The two rows of marching kids walked up the middle of the rows of chairs and then tailed off into each row, but our row just did not have enough. The German exchange student (who plays the same instrument I do) and I were stuck because we had no where to go. So what we ended up doing is putting one more person in each row, but without adding another chair. It was very cramped. Then the last thing that went wrong was trombone suicide (you'll just have to look that up because it's WAY too hard to explain). In the end it was sad. Some seniors shed tears, seeing as it was their last marching band season. But if you think about it... We're not done yet!
