Description
This is how freshman year is the bane of all band members.You do not move at set. Ever. And you will then get struck with an itch of doom. Or a wind strong enough to knock you over.
It is inevitable.
I think I did a better job on this one than last one. ^^ Will be colored soon.

I love this.
Reminds me of earlier this year, we had to stay at set for a long time and some people locked their knees and actually passed out. We still had to stay completely still as one of the percussionists fell, drum and all!

we don't have Set, but that looks kinda like either Attention or Horns Up... and you aren't supposed to move at either

YES! This is SO TRUE! I wish the stupid rookies would just get it and apply it! It's not that hard! Just...STOP MOVING!

I love the third panel. 
At my college, there are these MASSIVE (like "two to three inches long" massive) flies that come out in the summer and fall during band camp and practices. They also bite flesh. That is the only excuse for moving at attention.
(You'd think after five years of marching band I'd be tolerant of bees, but NO.)

Next rule: Rookies get blaimed for everything. Rookies, accept this early.
Uhm....one of the guys in my line during warm ups ended up IN THE LINE IN FRONT OF US apparently us running into said line because we all had to guide to Mr. Linejump is the fault of me in the very middle. Because I was the rookie.

Second rule: There is no such thing as "one more time."
Third rule: Seniority overrules everything.
Fourth rule: Piccolos and sousaphones should never have a blasting competition.
