does yor line or pit have any traditions? like the blue devils (i think) has this one old mallet from like the 70's and you have to play with it and then stick it in another persons bag and they pass it on, and so on and so on. our school has one when on the last day of band camp the pit wears a cape. im sure other bands have better ones

Our tenor section either goes to Kona Grill, P.F. Chang's, or any sushi/chinese food place out there.

At away camp the drumline runs down a hill and then rolls in the mud.

the tenors have silly hats for practice. The snares have sweater day at grand nats. the avengers for the east side of the snare line this year. theres a whole lot.

We wore togas once... (over our clothes) that was... interesting...

On the last day of band camp our drumline stays up all night pranking other people.

There's a big festival that my band hosts every year in which it is the idea that every band in the county comes. We have like 15 high schools in my county. That is a tradition in itself but in the drumline, we have a half tradition, half initiation thing that we do. We are the last band to go and we warm up behind the school in between the scholl and some woods. It is pretty much completely dark there. The freshmen or newbies have to go in the woods and "relieve" themselves before we warm up...that is unless you're a girl. It's always fun.

We have two hats and a cape that get passed around all season. There's a bright orange hunting beanie, a russian "communist army" hat (someone's grandparents got it when they went to Russia), and some cape they found it the band hall. Everyone ends up wearing all of them at least once during the season.

wo have a handshake that we do before all competitions. it goes back to when the competitive drumline was just formed and the guys in the snareline decided to make fun of people in gangs and have a gang handshake...their gang color was kahki.
Those guys are still around teaching us.

on the last day of band camp, a junior wears this thing called the banna suit. it doesnt leave much to the imagination, but is really funny to see the freshmen amazed as to how someone would do something like that.

we also have a bag of twizzlers that gets passed around before and after a game.....i never knew i liked twizzlers untill then.
