Galen Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 1. Chiggers2. Fire Ants 3. Sand Burs 4. Fields with no grass (and the ensuing dust storms) 5. Using marching band rehersal fields at schools that were lined with deisel to kill the grass, rather than using paint 6. Busses with no bathrooms, no a/c, and broken windows that leaked when it rained 7. Boat people 8. Hurry up and wait 9. Olive loaf for lunch - again, and again, and again (gotta love those discount meats) 10. Leftovers working their way into subsequent meals 11. Busses that got stuck in gear and grinding gears when trying to sleep 12. Bus feet 13. Losing BCI every time 14. "The Game" after dark 15. Staff saying "One More Time!" (for about the umpteenth time) 16. Sun burn on top of sun burn 17. Burned feet from standing on an astroturf field in a day show and waiting for the "On the field....." announcement 18. 130+ degree field temperaturs on astro turf 19. Retreat at day shows in the South 20. Passing out at retreat at day shows in the South 21. Cold showers, showers that remove flesh, showers that cannot rinse, clogged drains, no hot water, shower heads that are chest high, and facilities with 2 shower hears for the entire corps 22. Staying at schools in the South with no a/c and cockroaches the size of rats, gyms with brids dropping dung everywhere 23. Brown water, water that smells and tastes like sulfur, and tea from H-E- double hockey sticks 24. The smell of uniforms after a couple of shows 25. Freezing cold rain in Colorado 26. Rehersing in the rain, then the sun comes out and everything is nice and steamy 27. Marching on a wet astroturf field when the sun comes out again 28. Kansas and many, many more Man, all some people do is complain! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Pete Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I don't miss having to sit down all day while everyone else gets to stand. :P Timpanists... I remember ending the '97 show a couple feet from the front sideline, on the 50. After run-thru I'd look at the guy on timpani and thinking "you lucky *******". Then I aged out, joined the Cascades support staff, and hauled pit gear up and down the hills at Cal State Hayward. I am SO glad I played Euph! I don't miss "ONE! MO! TIME!", nor do I miss post-dawn bus arrivals. And while I miss hitting the nudie bars in Montreal, I don't miss the basics block the next day. I don't miss cleaning the gym. I don't miss retreat. I don't miss Full Corps retreat. I do miss DM-only retreat, because I'm a jerk. ^0^ I don't miss the showers, with a few exceptions. I don't miss sunburn. I don't miss marching block, but I do miss how fit I was back then. Now, I'm struggling to think of things I don't miss, because there's too many things I do miss. I'd better end this here.
