In Bloomington. I had probably skedaddled before retreat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllianaLancerContra Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Bitd if someone was in process of breaking through ranks our DM would call a quick 'dress-right', which included a horn snap. If someone was in the way of the horn, well, those V/R Olds Ultratones were pretty solidly built. Too bad they were in the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfield Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I have one question: If it had been the football team (either one) moving (they obviously don't march) back to their locker room, and a drunken fan of the opposite team plowed "through the ranks" with obvious disdain, would she have made it through without a player or coach attempting to stop him/her? A band, like a football team, is a cohesive unit and common courtesy, regardless of one's team affiliation, dictates respect to the units from the opposing school. The infiltrator should have been thrown to the ground, pummelled with instruments, mallets, and sticks then stomped on by every member able until the band had passed. That would have made a better story than another wimpy band director gets pummeled by a 98-pound weakling... (and probably caused more legal fireworks, too). The disrespect for "the band" is so old, and so tiring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's all about them. Their parents and teachers failed them. I say throw them bodily out of the ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are the teachers who once taught the girl are saying she hasn’t changed, and when corrected Mom and Dad were all to ready to defend her no matter what. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatzzz Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Since people refuse to actually read what I've written with any semblance of comprehension I'll restate it agin. If someone that is oblivious that breaking ranks is even a thing and attempts to walk through a simple "please wait or walk around" usually works. If they continue it isn't worth getting into a physical altercation over. If someone is being physical and belligerent when walking through and assaulting members then defending oneself and the group is ok. Seeing the reaction by the old pharts brigade I can see exactly how and why the activity sunk into issues with member miss-treatment. The level of faux machoism and fake tough guy attitudes were pervasive back in the day to the detriment of the wellbeing of the members. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
