And that was the only reason for why you went. Marching band is fucking stupid.

>>319622214
The only game theme i wanted to do was fallout. Only cool thing we did was funky town. But yea its sad when the marching band sings instead of playing. For swift and adele most of it was us singing

>>319622194
Oh yea band kids are the most stagnate people ever. The band teacher would ask us to make memes of him and post it on /b/. Hed spend class time doing drum covers of meme music like pudipudi. Then some people who graduated keep going back to it. There's some people who graduated like 4 years ago and still go to the band class to fuck around

Marching band was an actual art credit at my school.

Also, being part of the best high school marching band in Minnesota made marching band an experience I won't forget.

As a percussionist, I can confirm the validity of this statement.

Tubas were bros

You'd be out of practice anyway and probably put in the pit.

True
>>
>>319629491
Yeah, it's true. Honestly, I wasn't even really mechanically good since our band director knew "literally nothing about teaching percussion", in his own words.
My only strength was being really fucking good at sightreading from years of piano and guitar.

I can confirm trumpets being complete idiots, but for some reason, all band directors are trumpet players.

Maybe if the woodwinds didn't sound like screaming banshees when they played, we'd like them.

There are marching band games? Marching band has very little to do with music & is all about showmanship and marching manuvers. Tenors are fun as hell though.

Concert band or jazz band is a better experience overall

i was forced to take a year of band, and i played the flute. i did this because it was quiet enough that nobody would hear if i fucked up. what it actually amounted to, though, was that i never actually played a note, i just went through the physical motions of it. nobody ever found out.

I tried joining the college band at my school but it was awful. Normies, the drill was babbymode, and no one gave a shit.

I actually went back and was a vis tech for a season. Did it for free, but apparently techs in Texas get paid like 30k for it.

God I miss it. Trumpet reporting in. I played Baritone for drum corps though.

>>319630906
Nope. All band directors played low brass, usually trombone.

I did that all the time as a clarinet since I was shitty at it and mostly just wanted to go home, it helped that no one could hear us over the brass anyway

if only it wasn't as tedious as actually being in one and was more like an RTS.
i was in a state-funded marching band back in '06 and although it was a blast, it was so fucking hard, being a youngster.
we played jesus christ superstar and a few other classics like louie louie and land of the thousand dances.
i could seriously consider a marching band based game being legit. a lotta possibillites there.
>>
>>319639176
I think my idea would be like an RTS/Simulator type game.

Basically you would play as the band director and have limited funds to work with to manage your band. Hiring staff, what marching technique to use, what program you want to produce, etc. Goal is win the state championships.
>>
>>319638807
I remember our Rose Bowl thing being pretty uneventful other than being one of the first ones done and being able to watch the rest of the parade from the stands

Then again we were one of the actual socal schools who could go there and back in the same day so we didn't stay for long and didn't do much while we were there
