When I was in high school I was a marching band dork. Shocker, I know. But let me tell you something: we were good. Very good. We won a lot of competitions, and we hosted a drum and bugle corps competition at our school that pulled in the best from around the country. To this day, all these decades later, it's still the loudest thing I have ever heard. We humans have incredible talents: imagination, cleverness, dexterity, and musical abilities that are truly astonishing. Don't believe me? Then behold: Un. Flipping. Believable. Those guys have major talent. Watch the bit from 4:50 to 5:10 again, and call those guys dorks. Holy mackerel, they rock.

Tip o' the chapeau to Fark.
