Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 12710 Registered: Jan-06 | I'm old OK...but all I know is that the CAN DO's play ball...and the CANNOT'S were in the band...and I was a musician, but also a jock, and a dope smoking freak, way back then......so U know what, I use to consider all the marching band people as wussy GEEKS, but as I have aged...I know have a different perspective and realize, they DO what they LIKE and what they can do well...we're not ALL jocks , rock n roll musicians, and shouldn't judge others based on what they LIKE to do.... I would be just as proud of my kids if they were happy and nplaying in the marching band , then if they were the stars of the football team (which BOTH my sons were blessed with athletic abilities...but NO musical abilities)...some of U here are motorheads, which we use to laugh at (but wish I knew 1/2 of what U guys know)...so we're all DIFFERENT, and thats COOL... U need to look at people and appreciate what they can do, NOT what they do NOT do! |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 10462 Registered: Jun-06 | I played HS ball for a couple years. I was unfortunate to attend a school whose football coach was a pompous azz who gave ALL the opportunities to his son and his assistant coaches' sons. We'd take the ball down the field and only a select few got the ball inside the 5 yard line. All the TD's and none of the yardage. Their uniforms were always bright and clean. I as well as a few others had enough, and quit. I got a job after school and on the weekends as a carpenter's apprentice. I was called a quitter and told football was more important than a job. That job created who I am now and I was glad to get out when I did. I'm not slamming HS athletes, I used to be one, but everbody's path is different. It's a shame tho that today's youth look up to the wrong ppl. I could post a video on youtube about the most efficient way to store solar energy and get 100's of views. If I made another titled "Britney" or "Paris" it gets millions. Ahhh it's time to pour the first cold one of the evening fellas........  |

(Or Bass-head, whatever you rather) At Gator Drag '06, Matt Sibley told me this: "You know, as fun as all this is...we are all a bunch of nerds. We build these cars and drive all over to SPL comps. It may sound cool and all, but in the end we are still just a bunch nerds playing w/ electronics running all over the place w/ computers and Termlabs." Then about 10 of us proceeded to get drunk. Fun times. |

When i was in high school i played varsity soccer, varsity tennis, and was in the marching band all four years. I now play tennis for a D1 college (SLU), but i still love music and watching marching bands. i had some of the best times during my high school career being in the marching band. by the way, our marching band camp consisted of 8-9 hours a day in the july and august heat. our marching band worked harder than our football team. go somewhere, like a big time D1 college, and watch a marching band practice, then tell me it doesn't take athleticism on top rythm and musical talent. |

And if you're not a jock, its one way to get into a tight knit group of friends. Of course, when I was in HS, I was a tad lower on the totem pole (not that we had a band). School newspaper baby! Better than nothing though. |
