So the school we were at recently burnt down over christmas break and it wasnt fully repaired. So instead of having a classroom to get ready we had to share a locker room with all of the other guards! Im just wondering if anyone else has had insane experiences like this...

you get to change in classrooms!? lucky!!
we change on the bus. which is an insane experience in itself.
tho i actually think we might be the only guard in our circuit that does that, but we also have a long way to go so we're not ready before.
yeah try changing on a bus. thats always fun. XD

I have a really weird experience from Sunday!

So, it was after we had preformed and my friend and I were waiting in line for food. Then this lady (full grown lady, probably married with kids) comes up behind us and is like "I love your show! I have dreams about it! About the killer whales and things!"

My friend and I looked at each other, like "What?" It was so funny.

@greasegirl: Ouch. The pit? On our bus it was us and the clairnets, none of which are boys. So I changed on the school bus alot.

@darkangel: Me and my friend had a similar thing happen to us. We were standing in line for food and this guy walks up behind us and says, "You guys were STARS" and just walked away. (since we had stars on our faces from our show) We were just like, "uh..."

We don't have to worry about the whole sharing a bus.
Our guard fits the whole bus, we we have a lot of room.
:] and we change on the bus, boyfriends ride on the bus too, but they get kicked to the front. :D

I think that's stranger cause he just walked away. ...Then again, this was a full grown woman...

We change on busses all the time- Usually charter busses (as we're a Jersey band running the Cavalcade Circuit). For the sake of time, we go Females, then Males, regardless of whether you're in band, pit, drumline, or guard.

...And usually the guys just come on anyway, much to the dismay of the band moms.

....But it's not like we care. They just make a huge deal out of it.

When we have to change at the school before parades and such, usually Arthur (our drum major), and a few male tubas all change in the girl's room. It's funny.

Back in my high school years we would change in buses all the time. But we also had huge trailors, one for the boys and one for the girls. Now that I march independant we reherse all day in blacks, change at the hotel get to the site 15-30 min warm-up and go! Much easier.

yeah changing on the bus is kinda awkward, since my band has gotten smaller and everyone is on one bus now. But we have now perfected how to take off tights and spankies with pants on... the pit and guard always battle each other for who gets the back seat, so we all refuse to move..
