ok in our percussion section there is this guy named jared. we are split on the decision if he's gay or straight. he dresses gay, likes to hugs men, but he flirts non stop. he's like "the todd" off of scrubs. no joke. we were in this convo thing for veterans day. all was quiet in the moment of silence. all of a sudden he is in my lap bouncing up and down. i balled up my fist and nailed him in the back of the spine. the next thing i know everyone is looking at me and jared is sprawled on the floor in pain. only in the percussion section. lol

Only in the percussion section can you understand what it means when someone sticks out their fists at someone and makes a buzzing sound, and then the other person does the same thing. It's a sacred game taught only to those in the Drumline.
Only in the percussion section can you get away with banging on someone's head with a stick and claim you were practicing.
Only in the percussion section can you dance around like morons in the middle of a practice for no apparent reason.
Only in the percussion section can you understand what the word "badadada be, ba zip ba ba do ba chu!" means and answer back in all honesty, "No, it's badadeda, ba be, ba chu ba zip chu wa!"
Only in the percussion section can you practice keeping your stance straight by balancing a soda on the top of your drum.
Yeah, we have so many...special...privleges.

Only in the percussion section:
-can you make finger symbals interesting.
-you can play the garden weasel and be the best person there
-can you draw, read, have a full blown rock war, and get a good nap in before the BD gets through talking to the horn line.

Only in the percussion section do you see the boys dress up in tights, mini skirts, stilettoes and belly shirts on the practice field, and only in the percussion section do you see Bria being called "Bessie the Cow" and "Feedbag"...

i know people have said this, but only in percussion can you get away with taking naps during class. i actually went three consecutive classes lying down in the back behind the timbales. also, you can get away with not having your music by making it up for a few months before the band director walks to the back of the room and looks at your empty stand when she wants to 'take a look at what you have'. three of us had the same sheet part, but none of us had the music, so we made it up and it worked for a long while.

Well, I'm not sure about you people, but my Pipe Band had a Christmas party this year, and all the different cores had to do a Christmas song. I'm in the Snare Core, and out instructor was dead againsrt it, but the week before the party, he was forced to write us the music,w hich came from me just humming Little Drummer Boy (( GIRL )), to myself, and tapping out a score to it.
Only in the Drum Core can you play a random piece of music that sounds good enough for your instructor to use it.

only in percussion can what u play completely override the actual part. like when we play ridin dirty on the field we started to dance gangsta and use the cymbals as sterring wheels. its great and even if the director says no, we do it anyway.

Only in the Percussion section... Ha! The entire BAND (including 2/3 of the conductors...) is insane! Every band member has, at least once, picked up their friend's instrument and tried to play it. The only difference between the percussionists and the band members is that the percussionists get ignored when they do their stuff because it is considered "common." Don't know why...

Only the perc can get away with messing with the drums during one of Dukey's speeches [most of the time], and only perc can get away with stealing Colorguard flags [constant war of theft between our sections and section masters].

Apparently, only in the percussion section can one manage to drastically change the tempo throughout the whole band. And, apparently, only the percussion section can come up with a clever nickname for a poor kid whose last name was altered to fit his particular expertise. That young man is now currently called "Crashkell" instead of "Gaskell". Or however you spell his last name...
-cough- TUBAS ROCK.

Only in percussion can you lose all your sheet music, yet not lose points for the day.
Only in percussion can the guy who gets made fun of by all the others outplay most of them.
