I do have to admit that being indoors for summer band is definitley perk. Also, being the timpani player was nice since I was the only person in the entire band who got to sit down during rehearsals.
But, I had to pull the timpani cart which was loaded with other pit equipment ex.(amps, wind gongs, break drums...) which was quite heavy and it was a loong walk all the way to the practice field. So that part sucked, a lot.
