I will be leaving until the spring soon enough too. I usually stick around until the end of August/mid September and then surface back around Late may/early June 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I’ll probably hibernate for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, "BITD" no one got the tar beat out of them. The MMs knew of the protocol and closed the gap in the ranks as soon as any breach was attempted. well no there were a few instances of people getting pummeled. i witnessed one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I witnessed fans from a major school...we'll say it rhymes with Johio Plate....throw things at Penn States band, push thru the ranks and try to kick instruments as the band marched out of the stadium. Idiots are idiots, and i for one respect a director for trying to protect their kids. It's not like the director hit or kicked anyone like happened to him.I too have seen idiot fans at HS football games, and made sure to put myself between idiots and the kids. Luckily nothing got too ugly, but I'll admit to pushing back people pawing at kids, especially younger ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was being stupid. Many people here thought at the time he was lucky to not get a foot to the chops laying there like that. 9 hours ago, Terri Schehr said: What year was that? I can’t remember. think it was 2008? the samurai year where the cavies were wandering around in block committing seppuku on themselves during retreat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the craziness going on today people need to be.more aware of what’s going on around them. That’s why DC and NYC have the “if you see something, report it” message signs during the big holidays. Band director was aware and tried to stop this person from going thru because of the safety issue. But some here think he should not have worried because it’s “just band”.
