This one time, at band camp...

Everyone should be in a good marching band program like Piedmont's. It's actually a lot of fun. In my experience when you work really hard at getting better, you can successfully ignore the few people who actually drive you nuts, and just enjoy the fun people. It's also interesting that no matter how hard you try to make the younger kids fear you and leave you alone, they attatch to you anyway, and tell you all their silly pointless stories. oh, to be an 8th grader again....
