1. Marching season temperatures can range from "charred" to "Popsicle".
2. Contest scores don't necessarily reflect how much the band has improved since the beginning of the season.
3. Pink and blue make purple, and purple isn't allowed on the bus ride.
4. Hot Hands are the coolest product ever!
5. A Bulldog CAN cheer for the Huskies.
6. You can never have too many pair of black socks.
7. I've been counting incorrectly for years. I should say, "...eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, third, fourth, fifth, sixth..."
8. Band kids often go to school in the dark . . . and even return home after dark.
9. Third quarter touchdowns aren't as much fun without the band playing the fight song.
10. Marching Band Moms are lovingly called "Mommy" by more than their own children.

Love this! I've missed a few-- our band practices only in the evening (for which I am SO VERY grateful-- Kate is NOT a "morning person!"). But I chuckled at #6-- we will be buying not just two, but FOUR pairs of black socks next Money Day!-- and #9 is so very true! #1 is especially pathetic if you're slow to figure out #4 (even in South Texas!), and #2 is so VERY true (and tears are o.k., especially when shared in large groups of mixed company).
