Also, only we would get this: "Percussion! Stop swordfighting and play your parts!"
Come on, like the idiots haven't ever done that with cymbals and drumsticks? It's more fun to watch them hit each other with cymbals than the sticks, though...they double over in pain.

Rhannon`TillGrade9 I'm in 3 sections..REALLY hard to explain. 1) Strings (the moody emo group) 2) Percussion (Funniest group EVER) 3)Woodwind (all serious and no fun) Really? Our section leader did drum corps for a year, which made us the most strict/dedicated section. We have some individuals from other sections, hence our drum majors being very dedicated as well. But we are an academically-based high school, ranked 50 out of like 1,700, and most the people in the lower bands don't give a s**t.

Only in the drumline could your section leader pull down his pants, rub his a** against the only female drummer, not be seen, and not get turned in for sexual harassment. Oh, that was an interesting day. And only in the drumline could you steal your quad's sunglasses and make them into "monocles, b***h!" And the fun part, when people tell you drumming is easy or isn't really a musical instrument: "Can you play a double flamadiddle? No. No, I didn't think so."

Well, from the short time that I've been in pit, I've noticed that it's the only section that can pretty much stand however they want. The winds and color guard typically get told when they're not standing "correctly."

I'm the only commited percussionist at my school...or at my middle school, anyway. I'm not sure about my high school yet.
But there's this thing with an instrument called a guermo, we all call it, and this includes our BD, we all call it the ELMO. And when Hartmetz said that over everyone else that "We need an ELMO player!" Everone was like, Huh?

In my section (which is percussion but the part im in is the pit or front ensamble) We like to be perverted. if we r not being perverted we are lazy and dont practice......the best part is we never get caught! Every time we sit down we get yelled at. Whenever someone gets off tempo but it was not the percussion, the percussion gets blamed for it >.>
Now that I think about it, the percussion gets blamed for a lot of things that they dont do !........well, i guess we all get used to it!

Actually, I thought of this...
Only in percussion can you run over your own foot with your instrument, and have it not really hurt.
Stupid vibes...at least my shoes are big so it didn't run over my actual foot.
And only in percussion do you have time to come up with stupid ways to annoy BDs.

only the percusson section can have a whole period to themselves during concert season, with a band director that doesnt care, just to run around the band room on a broom with permanent marker writing saying, "Quidditch 2007" and throw around golden golf balls and not get into any sort of trouble whatsoever. =]
But on a serious note, pit is told to stand certain ways in my school to look intimidating and stuff. =[ how does a 110 pound girl look intimidating? Well we'll see

Only in percussion can you get yelled at for throwing your instrument across the room...
Yeah, they threw practise pads like frisbies until it hit a trumpet... xd
That was entertaining, since I disliked that trumpet player.

Only in pit percussion can you hit your instrument wrong and snap a NEW mallet in half.
That happened today. Not to me, but to a friend... We have the same part and I was wondering why he wasn't playing.
Then he said "Um...Stein[our percussion teacher]? What do I do with this?" And he held up the halves of the mallet.
