Band Bus Story Submission!

"We have around 80-90ish people in our band and we have three buses. The brass bus has the least number of people and we’ve listened to Take me Home, Country Roads pretty much every time we’re on the bus. This past Tuesday, we listened to Barbie Girl by Aqua and Wannabe by the Spice Girls The brass bus is gr8"

I still don't know how submissions work, but yeah! First story submission! Honestly this Band Bus sounds like the best thing ever. I'd be so down to join such a big band.
