There was one time where we had practice just after a torrential downpour, so the football field was a complete mudpit. Everyone was slipping and skidding around, a few people almost dropped their instruments, one guy stripped off his shoes and marched barefoot because he couldn't take it anymore...and after we left, all you could see were these great muddy scars going up and down the field.
And then there was the one drum major who worked a "Suck it!" gesture into his salute without the director noticing...*nostalgic*
I never thought I'd say it, but man, I miss flags and marching band.
