What sport do/did y'all play in Highschool?

Same. The amount of times I either almost broke my nose or made my team have to run laps for volleyball in gym class was stupidly high too.

And broke my thumb in dodgeball during 6th grade


I just stuck with choir in high-school to save the rest of my bones

I broke my nose in softball last year lmao

I didn't really consider band a sport. Looking back on the crap we got up to though, you're probably right. I can immediately think of at least a half dozen injuries and one stampede.

Brass for the win.

oh yeah no it's competitive, physical/athletic, difficult, requires practice, and we sustain a lot of injuries lol
I'm a mello

I did not know that Marathon reading was a sport? What do you do in that? I honestly could be good at it depending on what you do..

i was joking, i don't think it's a sport /lh

I was in the drum section for 3 out of 4 years, and wearing a snare for hours on end (with a stupid cymbal and woodblock attached! ) was most definitely a sport, especially when you're 5'2. And don't get me started on parades...

Do you do orchestra too? Do you swap to a french horn for orchestra season? We had 3 frenchies in our band and they all 3 swapped to mello for marching season. Bigger sound on the field from a mellophone, but still keyed in f like a frenchie.

And itchy wool uniforms. Always a crowd-pleaser in hot weather.

yep! i play french horn for concert band and anything else sitting (like pit orchestra) and mello for anything walking around. the horn is just kinda an evil instrument and mello is waaaaay easier lol

I grew up in the low desert in SW Arizona. We had a uniform cleaning budget. They were cleaned after every performance. They had to be, they were almost always sopping wet since marching season here is in the fall and it doesn't cool off until November.

Horrifying.
