Welcome to Gaia! ::

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.
