Hi everyone!
Anyone seen my highly educated performing snail troupe round here?
Think they followed me a few weeks ago and would have arrived about yesterday, I guess.
No no no noooooooooooo!!

Hmm... all left feet.
Sounds like my version of marching:
left, left, left right left, left, left, left loooooooooooooong right left, right, left, reft, light, drag right, drag left, left, left, left right left...
And I'm not exaggerating.
No no no noooooooooooo!!

That's not the funniest part...
For the parade we pep-banders did in October at Homecoming/Highlanders Festival, the drums had this awesome cadence they played most of the time while we marched. In order to tell us that we were going to play a specific song, the lead drummer (as always, Dan Dan the Timphani Man) taps out a specific rhythm alone. Well, the one his highness (er, Dan has something of an ego... but you didn't hear me say that 
) came up with had a slight swing figure in it which was actually at a slightly faster tempo than everything else. So every one would get just slightly off when they did the play cadence - the smart ones could speed up slightly and then slow back down to the orignal tempo.
But could I? Nope.
I finally got the hang of it round about the time we finished.
Key: Complain about this post
