Pep Band

Pep Band is no band kid’s idea way of spending a Thursday or Friday night, but as everyone knows, we kinda have to be there. Many of us don’t watch the games. If you look over at the band section at the games, many of us are either on our phones, listening to music, daydreaming, working on homework, or just talking to each other. Most of us are in band for a reason so many of us aren’t very athletic so we barely ever know what is happening.


If it wasn’t for getting a grade for going to pep bands, I’m sure many of us probably wouldn’t go. Band is fun, but pep band sucks. No body pays any attention to the band anyway, so why do we have to waste our time to go and play for people who don’t care if we are there or not. 

The band does many different type of pep bands for different sports. For example we do every single home game for the football team, and we do most every home game for basketball. Basketball season is more complicated for pep band, because we have other things going on which make a lot of complications, for example it is right in the middle of jazz band season and during the time that the comb and show choir has a lot more practices.

Because of complications with other band events there are usually quite a few pep bands that end up getting cancelled. Many band kids who aren't in show choir combo or in either of the jazz bands are usually pretty excited, and it also gives many of us more time to get homework done. 

Having pep band on a Thursday night usually completely sucks because we all have school the next day, plus showering, eating dinner, and trying to get all our homework done, and get to bed semi early is really hard, since usually we don't get home until after 9:00 at night. Friday night pep bands are not as bad because we have the weekend to get homework done, and many high school students stay up late during the weekend cause none of us have to worry about going to school super tired the next day.
