pov: your corps gets to a new housing site in rural alabama at 3 am, everyone sets up their floor space, and lights go out. you go looking for the locker so you can brush your teeth.

alright electronics in band has officially gone too far

tip 185: now that band season is in full swing, this is a reminder to make sure you wear your corps jacket to every high school marching band competition you attend this fall. 1 bonus point for every time you mention your marching experience in a conversation at the show.

as a number of drum corps are preparing for move-ins and the start of their 2021 season this weekend, we present to you a thread of some of our best bad advice.

rookies, take note.

[bad drum corps advice @baddciadvice]
