Today, I couldn't sleep due to an awful head cold, so I stayed home from work. Apparently, the local high school marching band practices in the park across the street at 9am. They're doing the Imperial March music from Star Wars. They suck. FML

Today, I had a nasty headache so I tried to take a nap. Unfortunately, my college had a homecoming parade a block away from where I live. I never knew our marching band sounded that awful. FML

Today, I woke up with a skull-splitting headache. I braved the wind and freezing temperatures to get to work. Today is also the day my boss thought it would be cute to let the elementary school band play at our office. FML

Today, I forgot my headphones at home. When I got to work I found out that today was also the day the band next door had decided to practice their only song for 8 hours. FML

Police Academy 26

Today, during one of my final exams at university, the police academy across from the class decided to practice their marching. With the full band of bagpipes. For the entire 3 hours. I have a headache verging on migraine and start humming the marching beat occasionally. FML

Today, I have a cold, and was stuck sleeping in bed. My roommate decided to wake me up by sticking headphones in my ears and playing heavy metal on full volume. This is the third time this week. FML

Today, the Star Wars Cantina song had been stuck in my head since I woke up, as my brother was humming it. I finally managed to get it out of my head. Then my mom started to whistle it. It's stuck in my head again. FML

Today, and all day, I was forced to listen to one of the kids in my apartment building play their recorder loudly and horribly. She started over whenever she missed a note. I was sick, was getting a migraine from it, and couldn't ask her to stop without her mom yelling at me. FML

Today, I came to work with a huge hangover after a night out. I work as a marching band director, and guess who I had to conduct a sectional with? That's right, percussion. My head still hasn't stopped throbbing. FML

Today, I sleep during the day because I work nights. My neighbors have a very loud wedding and reception in their backyard including a live mariachi band. FML

That Monday morning feeling

Today, I couldn't sleep because a group of drunken guys decided to stay out all night singing Disney songs. They had loudspeakers too. FML

Aww, I'm sorry to hear about that. Although as a marching band member, I'm also sad to hear that someone has given you a bad impression about marching bands. GOOD ONES DO EXIST!!

On behalf of all marching band nerds out there, I apologize. Not all bands pick such annoying music and/or stink so bad when playing it.

Download a metronome app and plug it in to a loud speaker or amp. Set it at a random tempo, turn it all the way up, and watch struggle to play together. Trust me, I'm in band and when two tempos are going, it's horrible.

To pretty much everyone on here, please stop being rude. I am a band member and I know how it feels to be on their side. This is the beginning on the season for them and it could be a new piece that none of them have played. Even the best musicians can't look at a piece of music and snap they have it 100% correct the first couple times no matter how widely known it is. High school band is not about sounding like career band members. its about learning the last couple things about your instrument and having fun so please leave them alone and let them practice. They will get better.

I so know your pain OP. I live behind a school that has the band go up and down streets in the neighborhood playing the same damn songs every year and they just get worse every year. It should be qualified as disturbing the peace.
