It not really a tradition but at the football games most of the seniors(the black) stand up for the whole game it sort of dumb.

Our number one tradition that never fails... the drumline acts stupid at the worst time possible.

Another one, the percussion always brings home the hardware even after being a bunch of jack#%s's during every rehersal (hornline doesn't and still B*%ch at the drums )

At the end of each band camp we have a cookout for all of the band members and their families at the school. After dinner we perform all that we have learned during band camp.

i remember back in 04 the bk sanreline had this old shirt that i think never got washed after all-days. it would rotate everyday...

no one wanted to eat lunch next to that guy/or girl.
we had a few stupid hat days in FE that year and some stupid bus things but i cant really talk about that

What happens on the bus... stays on the bus.

"lets do this poop"
before every performance

Before every show we do a stick click that goes all the way down the line. Also our drumline instructor gives us a whole bunch of jellybeans before each performance, and at championships, a red bull.

we've got a lucky towel that we wipe the drum heads off with before each competition. we also do the stick click down the line thing. oh and on any certain day of band camp, we all take the "gallon challenge" and chug a gallon of the good kfc/a&w root beer.

We had a thing with our bass line last summer where we would all put a piece of candy under our left wrist band on the way to the show, and then we would take it out and eat it when we were done changing after the show. We usually used starburst, but we used jolly ranchers for awhile too.

On the last day of band camp we all get glow sticks then sneak out at night, break them open and pour it on our selves. Then we run around in the dark like idiots. Im not sure how healthy it is because I know it absorbs into your skin. But its fun anyways.

The drumline wears bandanas to our shows and competetions. I wear mine too keep my hair in my hat plus I wear a bandana everywhere I go cause....its neat.

And we started a new tradition last year. Before each performance, after we warm up, the drumline goes into a small huddle and we shimmie. The Section Leader yells out directions (we all stand with our arms around each others shoulders) and we all shimmie in that direction. So it will be like "LEFT!" and we shimmie in a circle left. "Forward!" and we move forward, then "All Together!!!!" and we jump around in a circle. It helps get the blood flowin.
