(127,648 posts)1. I'm already past my Marching Band Day celebrations.
A conservative estimate would put me at 500 miles while a more liberal one is at 1,000 miles. Special maneuvers include double-time, marching through six inches of water, and evading the horse shit in the county parades. With two high schools in my county and the parade route alternating between the two largest towns I could always count on navigating the obstacle course at the tail (get it?) end of a parade on a biennial basis.
