-When your band teacher has to kick you out of the band room for playing cadences during concert
- When you spin your sticks in your class and tapping on your dest till the teacher throws something at you, then you do it softer.
- When you find out its much easyer to beat then to blow. [beat a drum blow an insturment]
-When you where your strap everywhere you go. [guilty sweatdrop ]
-When you have a drumkey in easy reach 24/7
-When you know all the cadences off drumline perfectly
-When your line knows collage cadences that are 2 minutes long
-When you look at most of these and chuckle to yourself knowing its true.
eek Thats all I can think of xp

i laugh at these because its all true... i hav a couple
-When you carry a backpack for school and a sidepack for band
-When your favorite band director retires and you play a prank on the new one by hanging his music stand from the celing
-when you carry at least 3 band magazines around school
-When you try to sneak into the band hall with a hot flute player to "beat the drum" lol
-When you have good enough aim to hit the waterboy without looking on the first try.
Thats all i have right now.... The flute player is a very close friend of mine... she sure knows how to twirl a stick... shes on tha drumline too guys calm down

This applies to few, if any:
You know you've been on drumline too long when, after a short period of time, you can memorize not only the drum feature but the guard solos that go with them to the point that you could perform them yourself.
Ahhhh!
That's for you, V & Chris!
You flag stealing freaks!
D: T___T

-When you and your teachers are like best friends
-when you and your teachers make fun of each other openly...
-when you have random group hugs.
-when you break into song constantly.
-when you make a perverted joke all you have to do is laugh and everyone is instantly in on it.
-when you're carrying your backpack, water bottle, AND change of clothes and stick bag to school
-when you know everyone's show music even if you're on a complete other instrument...
that's a few of many...xD I love drumline. -sighs contentedly-

-When you can get your band director to say "thats what she said" and you all immediatly crack up going omfg did he just say that?!
- When you can go into the percussion room and have Club Pit. (we plug in the zune and have a partay!)
- When you realize your dutting as your walking and are in step with your friends.
- When you hear your drum cadence from last year being played by another band you get mad but still play along on your head.
-When you ahve a pair of drum sticks in your bag. A pair in your Band locker.
And a pair laying around the Battery room. Yet you still steal some one elses sticks to play with or borrow the directors.
xD i love my band

My Demonic Angel - When you hear your drum cadence from last year being played by another band you get mad but still play along on your head. this one rings the most true out of all, we have on e called kadence written for us by a college drum teacher, and then he gave it to everone, now everyone plays it, one school even ed it for thier drum solo grrrr

That is all true. Also if you play Beetles songs or something and you hear them outside of band, you start drumming along the part you had. I do that all the time with "Hey Jude." And when you become good at dancing with the instrument attached to you.

I would say you've been in the drumline too long when you've broken more drum heads/rims then you can count...I've proken 27 drum heads and 42 rims. All to just my bass...lol. I have the bass with the second most replaced parts in the entire state of Indiana. Also, if you can literally play the music of the sections that aren't your craft after three weeks of practices, you need to quit pretty soon. I've never practiced snare in my life and I can play better then most the snares on our line.

-When you can understand what an instructor means when he says "It goes 'zibyza baba babeba bada chuzibby baducha!'" And you answer back, totally serious, "No, it's 'zibyzawa babe bababe bada zibbychu dubacha!'"
-When you start adressing BD's by their first names, and they see no problem with it.
-When you start doing last years field band drill while walking down the road.
-When all the drumline members can sleep in the same room next to each other, and it not be sexual in any way.
-When you go hard of hearing and can now sleep thorugh someone shouting in your ear through a megaphone...(guilty)
-When it's completely normal to have another drumline member slap you on the a** and just walk away without you kicking theirs.
-When you can create a sculpture out of all the sticks you've broken.
-When you make up weird hand games that only members of the drumline know (for example, if it becomes completely normal that, when somebody sticks out their fists at you and goes "buzz", and you stick out yours and go "bizz", and nobody finds it strange.
-When your boyfriend asks you to "do him", you automatically go behind him to pull up his uniform zipper.
Yeah, there's a lot more, but they'd take too long to type out.
