I’m in marching band and voted so you may want to be aware that results may be skewed because it’s being seen primarily by band people who of course do know what the object is
Here’s a poll cause I’m in marching band so my concepts of common knowledge is extremely skewed.

Are YOU gonna let THE GOVERNMENT tell YOU what YOUR GENDER is? That doesn't sound like Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness to me! PROTECT your individual FREEDOMS and call your senator: we want the GOVERNMENT to stay OUT OF OUR PANTS! GENDER FREEDOM NOW!
I don’t expect anyone to see this and I’m probably not going to post ever again I just want tumblr to stop telling me to post something

You learn how they tick so then you can press buttons like how we bully our band director about the hole he put in the ceiling while tossing cup mutes to the trumpets shortly after we were back in the new room after the school got remodeled. We just point up at the hole every time he tosses something in class and he says he’s planning on getting on a ladder to use white marker or something since he thinks it’s a smudge or something while we’re all pretty sure it’s an actual hole.
the thing nobody here really talks about is how easily students can read their director, particularly if the director is considered good.
Because band students spend so long trying to learn all the visual cues during a concert that every single quirk and oddity of the director gets filed away for later use.
Half of rehearsal time is spent privately figuring out that a raised eyebrow in a certain direction means that the band is slowing down unintentionally, or figuring out that wide eyes means someone done fucked up.
Taking this out of rehearsal means that you eventually learn that an eyebrow twitch means the director is getting annoyed by another person and needs leadership to come up with a problem to save him. A half smile means “good job”, but a half smile plus a raised eyebrow means “hah I’m teasing you about this for the rest of your life here”.
Idk something about how every ensemble, no matter how big, will always know what their doctor is feeling with a quick glance At least, if the director is good
Oh yeah people care about football we won 50 something to 6
Our first football game was an away game and the stand were far too small for us and I realized that the reason was that the school was expecting a marching band that was a similar size to them which looked like 30-40 people.
We have over 70 people.
Do you realize these are in the main body not the tags
