--Piccolo in marching band all 4 years, I was also a squad leader, meaning I taught the section drill and whatnot. Marching band is actually quite big where I went to high school (Marietta, GA).
--Symphonic band.
--Winterguard, sr. year
--And some other crap like Jr. Civitans and honor societies and 'Who's Who' and stuff. Who cares? I was mostly just into my boyfriend.
--Oh and I forgot, I was a head cashier at Media Play as well. bleh.

...and I was also awarded the Religion, History, Forensics, and Aymer Awards at graduation. The Aymer Award is voted on by the faculty and staff of my all-girls' Catholic school, so it's kind of a big deal. That and my graduation photo still hangs in the admin hallway along with the other Aymer winners.

By junior year I was also suspended for 3 days and senior year I was the resident boyfriend stealer. Those were great days.

I was not a band geek...the band was established a year before I graduated HS, and by that time I was too busy with other stuff. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but my alma mater boasts the only all-girls marching band in the country.

Ok I hope you guys are joking about some of the clubs you were in. Some of you guys were in WAY too many. Probably just went to one meeting, paid the dues and put it on your college apps

Don't I wish!!

I was a twirler/majorette from the time I was three, and in drama school from the age of four, so those weren't in the school itself (well, except the Junior & Senior Class plays). My high school was, at the time, referred to as "the last of the Taj Mahals", since the state quit funding high schools with planetariums, etc - and as a Student Leader, I got to be a guide. A lot of the stuff that I listed just lead into another. I find so much of it ironic now, like the SUN bit.

Oh, I worked as a lifeguard, too - but that was in the summers.

[KSig RC]

I got drunk and got laid.

--Also ironic: my resume for college was better than all of yours . . .
