Becker Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 What should people expect when on tour. anything that suprised you any common misconceptions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apoch003 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Expect to sleep on someone else's shoulder and not be teased about it. But DO expect pictures to be taken. Expect the food quality to vary wildly. Expect to shower with your horn. If you're a captain or sargeant, expect to have to stay up all night at least once on tour. Usually, for a tornado watch. Expect to have to change into uniform in front of everyone.... and not care about it. Expect to pick up athletes foot at least once. (You can't) expect cold showers occasionally. Expect to call a dry granola bar a "meal". Expect to blow through all your tour money in the first week. Expect everyone elses gasses.
