No uniforms.
No white plumes and capes on Senior Night.
No fitting 30 people on one row of bleachers.
No hugging after the run of the halftime show.
No slapping each other's heads during.
"Good Luck, Don't ****
No linking arms and singing as a section for the rituals before the show.
No competitions.
This is what COVID has taken away
from my high school marching band.
But.
We STILL play.
We STILL march.
We STILL laugh.
We STILL say "Good Luck, Don't **** and "slap" each other...
but from a distance.
We STILL do our chants and sing our songs in 6-feet apart circles.
We STILL have fun.
COVID has taken many fun things away
from my senior year in marching band.
But even with social distancing,
marching band is still family.

We had our first football game tonight and it was so much fun, even though we were so spaced out. I lost my voice from screaming so much, since the band had to make up for the student section that wasn't allowed to go. Band had to leave after 3rd quarter because of rain, but it was so much fun. Also, we won 35-10 so that's exciting.
