haha have u ever had issues with ur announcer mispronouncing a name or mispronouncing even ur schools name? crackes me up until they mispronounced my name last week and its really easy lol. i'll get to that. every year...every competition, they mispronounce a different name.
Citrus high school....he says Circus high school
Last year: Drum Major Justine Nank....they never pronounced her name
right...it was always Justin Nahnk
This year: Drum Major Jordan Kicklighter....Drum major Jordan Licklighter
Pit captain Lindsay Hammond....Pit captain Lindsay Howard (said
it twice in the same day and even corrected himself the first
time
Saxophone Captain Taylor Baker (me).....Saxophone Captain
Tyler Barker
Also our show is french and every announcer makes it sound like chinese or something....its funny!

When I was in high school band a lot of announcers would pronounce our school's name wrong...except it was technically the right Spanish pronounciation but no one who actually went to the school said it like that. (Ygnacio Valley...we said Ig-nay-show but most announcers said Ig-nah-see-oh)
And we did a hip-hop show last year with "Stronger" in it. During the show our announcer was all like "And next up, Kuh-nile West! Stranger!"

When we were waiting to go on the field, the announcer was reading another band's airgrams..."Do your breast-er, best. Sorry." Completely broke our focus. xd

Not sure why but at one of the competitions, the announcer said something like "My wife is gonna yell at me for getting a stain on my shirt"...
Wtf?
But they do mis-pronounce names a lot...

Our drum majors names are always miss pronounced. We have Tyler Julander, which is pronounced Jew-lander, but everyone pronounces it like a spanish name, so it is Hulander, except at the last competition when it was pronounce You-Lander(?) Then Ceasar Ureas, pronounced Say-sar Ur-a-is, pronounced commonly Ceasar(like the salad) U-re-ah. And then the one that is kind of ironic. Her name s Lisa Timpani, pronounced Timp-on-e, but it is always pronounced like the instrumentXD
If I become drum major next year, my one worry is my common identity issues. My mom forgot a letter in my first name and spelt my middle name wrong. So now my first name is a boy name and my middle name is the boy spelling(Leigh for girls, lee for boys. I have lee) So I have a feelign i will be Brian for the rest of my life at a festivalXD(See why I call myself Mira? Or Bee?) MY BDs keep calling me that on accident too. In the end of eighth grade my BD did it, and he hd been my bd since 6t grade, and then last year my other BD did it too.

Oh! I forgo our school name! It is Santa Rita, for future references
At a concert festival last year, they called us SaquaritaXD Which caused a bit of confusion among those actually from the school saguarita, who looked majorly confused in their seatsXD
Then they always say it weird, like putting super enfasis on it.
Or Santa Rata(?) Sana Rita, Sa Rit, and more. Don't ask how such an easy anme can be messed up, i don't know.
Oh, and once, Saguaro.

This was awhile ago, and they were announcing air grams for the band that was going on before us. "Do your breast- er, best." xd It was hilarious. It took a couple minutes for us to get over it. xd
They always say people's names wrong, though. It gets funny after awhile.

at one of our competitions this year, the announcer was like, "and first place, class A guard goes to.... WILLIAMSTOWN!" and we all cheered and screamed and hugged because they never get first and they had been working really hard for that award.
and then about a minute later the announcer said, "wait we have a mess-up.. i'm sorry williamstown, but we're going to have to take that trophy back."
our guard ACTUALLY got third.. they just read the paper wrong and gave us the first place trophy at the wrong time. (it was first in class.. and yes, we got it. c: )
