How about these....
You can fall asleep in a second if you're resting your head on the bell of a sousaphone.
You can twirl your sousaphone on the field the way the color guard does w/ their flags. (My band did this!!!)
You twirl your umbrella like your flag.
You cut out the fingertips of all your gloves so you can grip better.
You have no problem standing in the middle of an open field w/ a 6-foot metal pole in the air while a thunderstorm is coming.
You can carry on a conversation at the dinner table and beat out your drum part on the table w/ your hands at the same time.
I resemble some of these remarks.
