15 Signs You've Been In Marching Band Too Long
The Queen's 15 signs you've been in
 Marching Band too long!


Ok this is a list of signs for all you band members out there that may have had the thought at one time, "I think I've been in Marching band too long." And even if you're not in Marching band, you should still get a kick out of this list!

I've also placed a scale at the bottom of the list so you can see if you really have been in Marching band too long.

PS: If you're not in band and you do some of these things on the list....I hate to tell ya but you're a band geek that never joined band.
Enjoy!

1) You ask your band director if you can keep your uniform at home for the summer!

2) You just can't wait until the next football game so you can wear that COOL uniform!

3) You enjoy all those mosquito bites!

4) You know every inch of the practice field.

5) You snap to attention when your band director gets on the podium.

6) Your hearing is bad because the Trumpets and Drummers play too loud!

7) You hum the songs in the show all the time!

8) You think rooms make the echo sound too much!

9) You are ALWAYS in step with everyone around you.

10) ALL your conversations are about band.

11) You roll your feet in the cafeteria to aviod dropping your tray.

12) You have to mark time while you practice your instrument at home.

13) Everytime someone starts by saying "BAND" you get ready to say "HUT!"

14) To get to sleep at night you count the steps in the show instead of sheep.
