You know you've been in marching band too long when...
I came up with this little list in my spare time. The first twenty five are mine. You're probably thinking now that I have beaucoup de spare time. Um...no. Anyway, the last few have been added by my friends, as indicated in the brackets. All those who have even been in a marching band should get a few chuckles out of this. Enjoy!
