We all change wherever. We don't care. XD If someone is changing they'll just yell, "I'm getting naked and if you see me it's your fault!" *shrug* As for band traditions, it is trumpet tradition to pinky swear before going onto the field or before concerts and contests. Being the lowly freshman that I am, the first time that we were getting ready to go onto the field of our first game, Theresa held out her pinkie to me and I just stood there staring at her, and she got kinda mad and said, "Pinky swear, stupid! Tradition!" It's kind of a senior thing. Guess we'll keep it going next year. 3nodding

Well, we're supposed to wear our summer uniforms under the regular uniforms (blue mesh shorts and a shirt with our band on it XP) so... yeah, no nekkidness. XD Especially later on in the season, when it's friggin' cold, so we keep our jeans and band hoodies on and the parkas and scarves XD
But, there was an interesting situation when a girl in my section wore a bra with glow-in-the-dark stars on it, and she sat in front of me on the bus. We wear white shirts. I'm talking to the tenor sax (guy, mind you), when she looks down and goes, "Ohmygosh!! I think you can see the stars glowing though my shirt!!" She she turns around and sticks her chest out to for us to see, and I'm like, "Umm, I don't think so..." So she pulls up her shirt to see if they're actually glowing, and the tenor sax by now is in a fit of I'm-going-to-try-not-to-laugh-and-hurl-at-the-same-time, and I'm like, "Umm, Vicky, really, your bra isn't glowing..." Yeah, not very pleasant...

Ah wow- our band has a lot of traditions.
My pod at the beginning of our show had a woodwind prayer. We had Sara's "Freak out" before we ran onto the field.
Um- buswise we sing our show at the top of our lungs. One we had a poser rave with pixie sticks- that was fun.
Hmm...what other traditions? Webb's speech at the dome.
Oh! Me and my friend Tohru have a special hand shake. And I pat everybody on the head before we go onto the field. Anything else?
We have more, but they aren't allowed to go out to the general public XD. Umm...any nekkid ones? I don't think so crying ;
It's ever so disappointing.

Our school/band is so immature to the point where we have to have separate busses. 3 total: Boys bus, Girls bus, and color gaurd bus (no one wants to sit on their bus with the hair spray etc.) We had co ed busses once this marching season. That was becuase we sold so many of this or whatever. With Corps however. . . . . dignity? HA!

During Summer Band, it's a kind of mini-hazing ritual to force the new incoming Sophomores (10-12 HS) to where a posterboard with a coloring book picture on the front and march in it. Sounds innocent enough, yes? Only they're a major pain in the a**. The yarn chaffes your neck, the wind makes it fly up and hit you in the face or stab you in odd angles and spins it 'round and 'round around your neck until it cuts off your air. I remember my sign spun around so much around my neck and got so tangled up in my hair, they had to cut it out because it had gotten impossibly tangled in my hair and I couldn't breath. o_o;

MEH eek
The title reminded me of when I was back with BONITA VISTA (yeah, you heard me!) and Marcos had to whiz...
And there was a Powerade bottle RIGHT THERE...
It wasn't pretty.
Anyway, Our Drum Major used to have to shave his head before Arcadia.
Oh, and Javier (Chip) used to wear Heart Boxers under his uniform (which was white) and eventually verybody started waring bizarre undershorts.
We always got in trouble. whee
Now, we always play "Pit Stop" to warm before ANY competition or concert.
We laso have to play it when we get too roudy.
Jason and I (Tuba section... small school, ya know?) always sing "Come Sail Away" before any pep-stuff.
Okay, I'm done.

Yeah, it sucked. =( But hmm. The Freshmen are coming over next year and their hazing thing'll probably be worse. Maybe they'll have to wear.. TWO signs. :0 I dunno. The upperclassmen were talking about it last semester. Don't know what they've decided. o_o

Oh wow. Mr. Webb would KILL us if we hazed the freshman. Oh wow. I remember him talking to us ((the freshmen)) at band camp.
"If ANY of the upperclassmen give you a hard time AT ALL tell me and I will take care of it!"
And then he got that scary Webb smile.

We made a band tradition today. :0 AND I WAS APART OF IT. Well, sort of. I felt so proud.
Today we had the (wtf, dejavu) Band/Orchestra Performance/Recruitment Concert this morning for the 5th graders and while the band section (they only took 14 band kids so it'd look like orchestra was more popular. Shpff.) was waiting for it to start, we all learned this slappy-step-dance thingy you do sitting down. And, like, when we all did it at once it looked really cool. :0 A senior last year who used to live in Africa taught it to some of the people there. Anyways, now it's going to become a "band thing". The orchestra just stared.
