You ever trip over a random tire and fall with your drum on and land on the concrete, making your leg look like it got caught in the blender? Yeah.

The Magic Kingdom route in Disney has trolley tracks... You can't see the trolley tracks until you step in them.

I've only played bass for one of the parades, but I marched the smallest because I'm tiny and they thought it would snap me in half. I loved playing it, but I kept hitting the rim with my hand Also, pitgurl...I feel like I'm following you around the site. I'm really not.

I can't even imagine! Did you have to buy a new one? Or did your school replace it?

The only thing that broke was the rim. Our school has four bass drums but we only marched three this year. And no we haven't got it replaced yet.

I've played bass drum for parades, and this one time, I was walking through the band room with it on, and bumped into a suspended cymbal, which created a domino effect and knocked like everything that made the loudest noises down. Ahh, memories.
