Before school one morning, after first chasing off some goats who'd been happily grazing on the practice field, we assembled and started marching towards one end of the field. Suddenly we heard a loud shriek from one of our fellow squad members, who shall remain nameless for the purpose of this narrative, Gentle Reader, when she found herself stepping on a snake in the long grass. Leaping up and sideways with an agility that any cheerleader and more than a few running backs would envy, our fellow flute, being the trooper she was, still managed to recover her place in the formation, if not her composure. We all kept marching while trying not to laugh, glad it hadn't been one of us, while reassuring her that she probably had scared the snake more than the other way around. After the about-face at the goal-line, we marched back, and in one of those "deja-vu all over again" moments, she once again shrieked and shimmied. She somehow had managed to step on the same snake on the way back.
On a related note, unfortunately to this day I still remember the heady aroma of all those soggy, grass-covered sneakers fermenting on the shelves downstairs in the band hall....
