So the marching season has just recently started for me, and I was wondering if we have any people on the Escapist who are/were also members of a marching band. Tell us about the program you are in, whether for school or for fun!

I was in one during High School.
I played the Tuba/Sousaphone.

Freshmen year was hell, Sophomore was hard, Junior and Senior year were both easy.
I really enjoyed it though, it was a Blast, especially as a Senior.

I was in Marching Band my freshman, then I realized I hated being in the band and almost everyone in the program including the instructor. So, I didn't join again the next year.

I was in marching band (which turned into symphonic for spring semester) all through high school. Had a really weird start, that did. Our initial band director quit a month in, no one else could be found, so our school book clerk stepped in. Pretty much saved the band singlehandedly, he did.

We even managed to win a fairly large regional competition in my senior year, for our Irish-themed field show.

I was even first-chair clarinet starting from my sophomore year. Mainly because all of our seniors dropped, but still, held that position for two and a half years.

I am. Our program got a new director this year, as the previous one was laid off.
Sad times...sad times.

The first high school I went to was too small to have a marching band. Where I finished high school though I was able to play Bass Guitar/Drumline in the marching band.

When I was younger my mum tried to get my brothers and I involved in the community so we joined the local marching band. My oldest brother played the drum, my other brother the flute and I due to my complete lack of musical ability ended up, wait for it, playing the triangle. I am proud.
