the-forgetful-ninja Kokihi heh, the other cymbal player in my band constantly pops the cymbals. i'm surprised he hasn't cracked one yet. yes well you see im a weakling.so i dont pop/crack cymbals often...but my partner...Zach...is a cymbal monster! he pops cymbals [any size] almost everyday! we have 8 pairs of cymbals...only 3 of them dont have a crack....one time he cracked a pair THEN he accualy pulled them so hard that they ripped almost all the way down to the bell!!!..i yelled at him b/c they were my concert cymbals....he just laugthed and told me to use my marching cymbals...*sigh* that Zach........i love my big brother,Zach.. wink ... burning_eyes if someone did that to my cymbals ... i would cry emo tears of sadness, then i would kill them...slowly...

Have you ever noticed that drummers and guards are always the couples in Marching bBands...I've had 2 from my guard...thier still like my bff's!(I'm a drummer/Cymbal Captian...lol)
ive noticed that they're i think 3 guard/drumline couples
the drumline captain disapproves of any guy who dates a guardie...he says
"you dont date someone in guard you hook up with them"
See, our band director is completely against PDA(Public Display of Affection). He kicked 2 people out for holding hands at a football game.

I think it's because it looks rather un-classy unless it's a friendly hug... seeing two people make out in uniform is icky. Oh, and I play the crash cymbals whenever we play stand tunes. I dunno if I would like being on a cymbal-line, but I love playing stand tunes!

I must admit I'm mildly shocked...
see, this is uniform etiquette at our school- no swearing, no eating or drinking anything besides water (if it's full dress, half dress is ok), no running, no "celebrating" (push ups)... and no PDA. Including a friendly hug. The only time I've seen the last be breached without people getting yelled at was in our little circle of buses/truck/ trailer after state finals last year. I've seen people give hugs in uniform, and people tell them not to once it becomes apparent that that's what they'll do. And the director doesn't have to be in sight for this to happen. It's just engrained in us.
Of course, I'm not sure why I'm surprised, as a lot of high schools seem a bit more lax as far as uniform etiquette goes.
Now, honestly, I think that a first kiss right before going on the field/ floor would be tres romantic... but I wouldn't let it happen.
Anyways. I marched cyms for winter season last year. It was... not the best such a line could've been, because we had only two people and neither of us had done cyms before.
I've already decided that if I go out for drum corps, it's going to be on cyms. The only problem is experience.... there's a line this winter, but I have too many classes this semester to do it. And I'm a junior. So, if I hope to do it the year after graduation, I NEED to do it marching band next year... and we have /never/ had a cym line for marching season. sweatdrop Our tech wanted to have one last year... here's hoping we get a flood of people doing percussion so we have the numbers to do it. I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want to do cyms again anyway, even forgeting about all drum corps aspirations.

oh yeah, with the PDA thing... we don't get kicked out or anything (I don't think anyone's really done anything that bad) but if you break etiquette you owe push ups once you're out of uniform.

Yeah! Last season was my first year in marching AND school band, and I don't play an instrument other than piano, so they gave me a set of cymbals and said 'go play, little monkey' (which is now what the band director calls me) biggrin Cymbals are fun, but I can't wait to play bass or snare! (without dropping the sticks would be a nice bonus... sweatdrop )

Yeah, this one time at band camp [no pun intended] our director (Mr.Mark E. Peltz) made the drumline run a half mile because we were talking...and earlier this year he kicked someone out for telling his girlfriend he loved her. Everybody loves him to death but he (band director) over reacts way too much.
