Band camp - when the brand new

instructors car down the hill to
the pizza shop parking lot. Our
trip to Wildwood when the
colorguard had no clue what our
drill was anymore and just
marched in the back of the field
together and nobody even
noticed. Or the trip to West
Virginia when they changed the
departure time but didn't tell
me room and we were late for the
buses. The green/gold & white
monkey jumpsuits we had to wear
and the parkas that smelled like
they were never washed!! |
