ekleve Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Being brutally awakened in the morning after not enough sleep. Those two hours on show days to eat, get uniform off the truck, use bathroom, shower, brush teeth, polish horn, pack, load the bus, and be in my seat ready to go. That was the most stressful time of day for me. It just never seemed like enough time! Rehearsing blind because we're facing right into the setting sun. Eating as much as I could possibly cram into my face at lunch and still being hungry 15 minutes into rehearsal! And the biggest one of all... Marching three quarters of the season with a pulled groin on both sides!! Happened to me both years I marched. :sshh: But really, I miss it all!! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la_vie_boheme Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 putting our ### in the grass. really dry, crappy fields where you blow you nose after rehersal and it's black. really hot showers, i don't mind the really cold ones. hearing "good morning, we're in (insert any city in the south)". the air being broken on the bus and temps of 112 on the bus. otherwise, i can't wait to start again. bring it on.
