lindap Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Tom was/is very respectful of the female gender in drum lines...he always treated me like a lady and yet, I was still one of the "guys" in the line, you might say! I think that I was one of the lucky ones in my drum corps career that was never treated otherwise, unlike some other horrific stories I've heard about from some of my female colleagues who marched in other DCI corps. He gave my mom the high drums trophy at the SCV show just because I mentioned to the line at camp that it was the only show that she goes to each year...that's class! Yup, you're right, that's Tom :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindap Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) Heck we got used to the swearing gosh darn it. At a practice, one of our drum instructors realized he was teaching the B band... "You sound like... he stopped for a second or two "doggie doo" Edit: btw I work in a cubicool with alot of nice baffle buddies (spelling error was on purpose) Edited September 1, 2008 by lindap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUGADA Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I played snare in '84 & '85 in the Illiana Lancers (Chicago). Joe was my instructor back then. when I went to BD, I played drumset in '91. It was the first year they ever had an actual sit down drumset. In '92 I played a little bit of everything in the pit. I'll always be a snare drummer at heart though. I'll let Joe know to get in touch with you. Thanks for the chat!Dean Cool Beans! I will be viewing the '91 and '92 BD Legacy DVD's this weekend to "check you out!" Another "Floatism" was if something really sucked it was "rank as snot!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear, if you miss ONE MORE release I'm going to make you run to JESUS!!!" -=pause=- "And just so you know, that's an INFINITE DISTANCE!!!!" - Matt Stratton 2005: "You guys got to breathe like motherf*****s!" - can't remember the guy's name (referring to a 5/4 bar with 2 beats of rest in the middle of which a trumpet or mello kept coming in a beat early every rep) "That hole is for the audience to fall into, NOT YOU!" - Dave Eck 2008: "Chicks dig straight legs." - Bobby Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklordsmiley Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 No I don't. He means that if you work in a cubicle, you suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thePerfectbuzz Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Trust me, most of these examples are not mean..but they sure are funny! It may be difficult to understand from the perspective of reading the posts without having the experience as a member. It's not just the words, but the situation, inflection, and relationship that members have with staff. I'm sure many of us reading these are visualizing our own instructors as we read and laugh. For the most part, these are fond memories of days gone by... yup yup.....good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrienaeds Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 He means that if you work in a cubicle, you suck. Thanks, I understood the message. I didn't "understand the metaphor" because the metaphor is asinine. To use someone whose office is a cubicle as a metaphor for a wimp or a quitter is moronic. I refrained from blasting this idiotic post earlier because I can see by this poster's sig that he is still in college. I understand what he is trying to say and agree with most of his thoughts (expect this cubicle BS and setting perfection as a goal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, working in a cubicle doesn't mean you didn't make something of yourself. I work in a cubicle and I consider myself pretty successful. And, once my company moves into the new building, EVERYONE will be in a cubicle except for the Senior Vice Presidents. Maybe one could say quite the opposite. If you're NOT in a cubicle maybe you're a ditch digger or something. (Not that there's anything wrong with a ditch digger.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
