Everyone has traditions of some sort, including this school. Here are some that are from the school E n g o u e m e n t and I (and possibly more of you) go to (most likely other schools practice some of these as well). If you have ideas on more traditions [especially for orchestra cause I'm no longer in orchestra and even when I was, we still weren't technically an orchestra...] then don't hesitate to post them here. I might add them smile

Marching Band

-No running, eating, drinking (with the exception of water), swearing, or PDA (public display of affection) while in uniform
-To be early is on time, to be on time is late. And if you're late, then you're not doing what needs to be done. Shame on you!
-Freshmen fun day: Seniors/Student Leaders kidnap newcomers/freshmen and "welcome" them to the organization for an entire day (:<
[I didn't choose the music, kay?]
-During the final run-through of the marching band season, everyone has the option of taking of their shirts (women obviously wear a sports bra).
[example 1] [example 2]
-Brass: for championships, the section leaders buy their section condoms to "protect their performance"
-Woodwinds: I'll get back to you on that one
-Halloween football game: the band marches in their costume for the football game half-time show around halloween time (added by Vincent)
-The band family: This one is pretty common, even for non-band/orchestra/whatever people. I really shouldn't have to explain. You can

~adopt/"have" kids with you spouse
~have brothers, sister, cousins twice removed, aunt, uncles, step mothers, et cetera.

Good thing I tend to be early to my practices. biggrin

Halloween, we can wear costumes? (and by halloween, I mean the closest event to the actual date)

My school does it all the time. It actually created our band meme "Oh look, it's Bigfoot!" When one of the drummers wore a bigfoot costume.

Wait, do you mean after the performance?(pretty sure that's what you mean)
If so, then yeah. Cause...the idea of marching in a halloween costume during a tournament performance seems...wrong in a sense ._.;;

Uhh, no.. I meant during performance. I mean, we (as in my school) usually have a football game at that time. It's not a tournament or anything. Anyone that wears a costume couldn't wear one that obscured the face (unless they were percussion or flags.)

Oooooooh...
Hm...that would actually be kinda cool. Sorry, total brainfart. But then again...normally we have like homecoming around that time, so we have the homecoming football game and whatnot. Then we have the Loara tournament on halloween weekend, and we wear our costumes after our performance (i think it started last year cause we had a tournament on halloween and couldn't go do whatever stuff we would normally do)

Different schools are different

I have two suggestions.

1. Before we go on, we line up on the sideline at attention and what not.
Drummajor: -turns around to face the band- "BAND TEN HUT."
Band: "HUT."
Specific person: "NORTHERRRRNNNN"
Band: "ARROOO ARROO ARROOOO"

I think it might be from some movie about Sparta? Idk. It doesn't sound great in print, but it sounds very awesome.

Hmmm...we'll see about that one.
You said you had two. I only see one confused
