Band Is Horrible, card game

Band is back! Perfect game for kicking off band season! Play at socials, a few hands before class, or any place you are waiting around. Make it the director’s permanent sub plan!

There are so many things about marching band that are horrible. Trombone lube. An unintentionally offensive drum major salute. That glorious sock tan. 

These are the moments that lead to priceless memories and costly therapy. Game play is simple

Each round the "judge" will read a question card like: "Why is the director crying?" or "Why is my chair wet?” 

Each player selects their best answer from their hand. Then judge reads them aloud and picks the winner. The next round starts and the judge changes to the next player. The game can be quick with a few hands or last for hours!

Who should play it? Band Is Horrible was written by band directors and is appropriate for high school students, but will be enjoyed even more by their directors.

Get a few sets to keep the kids occupied when they are hanging out in the band room before school. You've got stuff to do.
