I miss marching band, I've been telling myself to get my own business and take the summers off to be in a senior corp. That's my ideal life. I'm also a HUGE fan of the all black bands from down south. Much different than the style of marching we did at WCU. As for the throwing of the sticks have you ever watched "Drumline"? It makes us "bandos" cringe but we all still watch it for the lack of movies about marching bands.
