(no subject)
So I haven't posted in here in a while, if ever.
Since I've got a couple minutes to post, I figured I would tell you about our senior prank my class pulled.
I'm a senior at Willoughby South High School in NE Ohio and I play tenors. My band director absolutely hates the tune "Hang on Sloopy", but my football coach loves it (He's a huge OSU fan) so we learn it to play at football games. Well, one of my friends is a huge fan of OSU also, and he plays the bass line ALL THE TIME so my band director threatened to cut the piece.
We have an indoor concert, which is where we play everything except stand tunes for an audience. No marching though, we all sit, except for the drumline and pit, who stand behind the band. Traditionally, we cadence out of the gym att he end of the program. Our announcer says "And now, for the last time..." and the tap off starts. Well, the seniors decided it would be awesome that instead of playing the cadence, we marched out to Sloopy. Well, we pulled it off and our director was PISSED. It was totally worth it though, and the best thing is, it wasn't just the seniors playing it! The entire band caught on and everyone played it! It was awesome. We have it on DVD so it can live forever.
