But they weren't stupid enough to do it during the game performance. Ah yes -- it's always the trombones. When I marched at NC State, when we played our Big Four rivals (UNC, Duke, and Wake Forest) at home, we'd spell out their name and play their fight song. The band director said it'd probably be the only time they heard it -- we marched 175 (all male volunteers -- we added the ladies a few years later) and the others had only music majors (maybe 80-100). And the difference in teams during that era. Anyway -- we were playing Duke and the 'bones were in charge of forming the "D" and you know where this is going. IN PRACTICE about 8 bars into the Duke fight song, the trombones changed the "D" into a "P". The band directors almost fell off the band tower. After they stop laughing and let the rest of the band in on our joke, we were STERNLY warned -- DON'T DO THIS AT THE GAME! Of course we didn't, but I don't thing any of us finished playing that fight song we were laughing so hard at what might have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim K Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Perhaps this was meant to be a prank, and to give the benefit of the doubt, it may have been for shock value or to see if anyone was paying attention to the show, but given that the school is in Georgia, and racial tensions are pretty high in Georgia this election cycle in no small part due to the race for governor, it is more than a prank. Some have suggested history lessons. My guess is the prank was not due to ignorance. Suspension, not being allowed certain school privileges, or community service may be appropriate. Should the director be held responsible? Any of us who have spent any time in a classroom know student actions can occur and even the most observant of us have had things happen right in front of us where we have been caught off guard. If the director had even an inkling, or knew and turned a blind eye, well, let the chips fall where they may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely "west is best" if it was a 5 man line...it was "west best" in 84 when we only had 4 plates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

year1buick Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 During the 92 retreat, some of our contras banded together to leave a message for DCI on the field, using some white tape. Not the classiest or most sportsman-like thing, I admit, but it still made me laugh. (Yes, I took a picture and no, I won’t post it. 🙂) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
