My most time-consuming yet wonderful hobby is being the Drum Major of the NBTHS Marching Raider Band. Now, don't get me wrong, though MB is considered geeky by some (yes, really), I can assure you it is the best organization in the school. Plus, you meet new and wonderful people with whom you get to spend lots of quality (quantity?) time. My advice, you ask? JOIN THE BAND. PS. If you're already in the band or color guard then simply disregard that message. And oh yeah, you are all band fags no matter how much you try to deny it. :-)
There are even some within the band family that don't know exactly how they belong. Here's the breakdown as far as I know.
