*CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!*
This is a replacement for my cache "Go Band!" (GC356GX). (BUT this one is not in the exact same spot!) You can click the link to read about the Pride of the Panthers.
The final location can be bustling with muggles. If there is a major event going on, you may want to save it for another day. Please use stealth.
NSFBWPBFAQ (Not So Frequently But Will Probably Be Frequently Asked Questions):
Q: Where does the cache name come from?
A: The park this cache is placed in is called Pawnee Park, and 212° is the boiling point of water in Fahrenheit. When our band performs, we have to perform with STEAM at 212°!
Q: What's so special about a dotted note?
A: The dot increases the note's value by half of the note's normal value.
Q: What are turns in marching band?
A: Turns allow the marcher to change direction with time. There are three different types of turns:
Left turn: the marcher turns left 90° after the same number of beats as in a 4/4 measure.
Right turn: the marcher turns right 90° after the same number of beats as the number on a die which is on the opposite side of 3.
About turn: the marcher turns left 180° after the same number of beats as the value of 2x, where x is the value of x in this equation:
(4 ÷ (x - 3)) + (4 ÷ (x + 2)) = (12 ÷ (x² - x - 6))
Q: How do I know how many beats are in a measure of music?
A: Look at the time signature. The bottom number denotes which note gets the beat, and the top number tells how many beats each measure has.
Q: How do you know how big of steps to take?:
A: Practice. The most common step size is called "8:5" (pronounced "eight-to-five"). This is a ratio of steps to yards.
Q: How do I know how many beats are in a measure of music?
A: Look at the time signature. The bottom number denotes which note gets the beat, and the top number tells how many beats each measure has.
Q: How do judges score at marching competitions?
A: There are several things the judges judge.
Some examples: marching individual, marching ensemble, music individual, music ensemble (that might be all...I may or may not have named the last two correctly).
The final overall score can be 0-100 (bad-good). The score corresponds with one of these 5 divisions (don't even ask me to break down the scores):
5: Poor
4: Fair
3: Good
2: Excellent
1: Superior
Q: What are some different whistle commands for marching band?
A: There are a few different commands. I'll go through them.
Forward march: one long whistle followed by the same number of whistles as number of cells produced after meiosis.
Mark time: the same number of whistles as the number of beats that 16 32nd notes make in a 6/8 measure.
Attention: the same number of whistles as half of how many legs all insects have.

Most everything you need to answer the following questions is in the NSFBWPBFAQ above. Plug in your answers to the following key:
N41 AB.CDE
W97 FG.HIJ
A = number of beats in a 2/4 measure.
B = value of a dotted half note tied (connected) to a normal half note.
CD = (number of whistles for the command for attention) x ll
E = number of whistles for the mark time command.
FG = (half of the number of beats it takes to make an about turn) x 11
H = number of beats in a 3/8 measure.
I = number of steps it takes to go 5 yards with an 8:5 step size.
J = best division (score) a band can receive.
