To feel like nobody is listening…And like there's nothing you can do. But here are FOUR things we can do to help. Number 1: Take breaks as needed for rest & recovery. The systems of oppression want us to get tired and give up. Which is why community care & self care is extremely important, so that we can stay strong and keep fighting. Number 2: Continue to participate in targeted boycotts and follow the leadership of the BDS Movement while doing so. Number 3: Keep organizing & resisting in any ways you're able. This could mean marching, educating, making resistance art, posting, commenting, starting signal groups & discords, & learning about other protest methods. Number 4: Continue to amplify as many Palestinian voices as you can. Screenshot the next image and follow those creators on Instagram.”

マーチングパープル - Marching Purple

A soldier marches not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.

- G.K. Chesterton

The largest ceremonial operation for 70 years. A spectacular display of military precision and professionalism by the British armed forces for the coronation of King Charles III.

So I was recently struck with awe over marching bands. So many things need happen for them to work right and I think they deserve some appreciation. Here are the things you need for a marching band:

1. Be able to play music This is super obvious, but I feel like it could get overlooked with the rest of this stuff. Like, sure it isn't that hard to play music, but for a lot of people that is already magical in its own way and I think we should take a moment to recognize that

2. Memorize an entire piece Another obvious one, but it actually sometimes a feat to memorize an entire piece of music. Most normal bands have sheet music for a reason. There are a lot of subtle details that are important to remember to really elevate music and memorizing it isn't easy.

3. Do that while moving Remember that this is about a marching band? Playing music is a challenge on its own, but now you have to do it while marching (not just walking, its actually more precise and oftentimes more vigorous) around on a field. You know what doesn't mix super well? Playing an instrument that requires breathing in very specific ways to use and a lot of physical activity. Always respect the people who can control their breathing enough for that.

4. Memorize your movements too I mean, obviously. If you have to memorize your music you have to memorize your marching too. Just another layer of things to juggle so that you can perform

5. Account for sound travel Bet you didn't think of this, but sound doesn't travel instantly. In fact, it travels so slowly that people playing on sides of a football field narrow-wise will be off time from each other. One of my band directors once showed us a neat trick by getting 3 drummers to play perfect triplets by positioning them in different spots across the field and playing at the same time as a visual cue. And you can't just fix that by playing faster or slower, no you have to play at the correct speed just offset by the correct amount for your position (which changes). You can't even listen to other people because of this delay. If you ever listen to a marching band moving across the field and everyone is coming in together, that isn't nearly as easy as you might expect.

6. Coordinate at least a hundred other people to do this at the same time Its not a marching band if you do it alone, so you better believe you need a lot of other people to be able to do everything above. Even beyond getting them to play right, getting this many people in the same places, as well as feeding and watering them, is a major organizational feat.

Sooo, yeah.

Marching At dawn I heard among bird calls the billions of marching feet in the churn and squeak of gravel, even tiny feet still wet from the mother’s amniotic fluid, and very old halting feet, the feet of the very light and very heavy, all marching but not together, criss-crossing at every angle with sincere attempts not to touch, not to bump into each other, walking in the doors of houses and out the back door forty years later, finally knowing that time collapses on a single plateau where they were all their lives, knowing that time stops when the heart stops as they walk off the earth into the night air. by Jim Harrison from Saving Daylight; Copper Canyon Press, 2006
