ContraCutie Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 This is my 4th season marching corps, and my third on contra. I plan on aging out with 7 seasons on contrabass. Ihave had to deal with a lot of crap from many different people, saying that i couldnt' handle it. I actually first auditioned for a corps because an ex band director said that I couldn't handle it, that I was too small and that "girls don't play contra". Well, I'm 5'1'' 125lbs, and marched one of the largest horns in DCI last season, along with another really awesome chic who was about my size. I don't think that contrachics get enough recognition. Anyways, I was getting a little off topic, but anyone who says that chics can't march contra, I'd tell them to check out the bandettes, or just about any corps,so many now have chics in their lines. I've met soo many ###### contrachics over the years, and become grat friends with a lot of them. ......Just wondering, how many contrachics post on DCP? ......maybe we could get together, and one day....take over the world ^0^ or maybe just chat :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 BD had a woman inthe contra line as far back as 1983...before most of you kids were born...she's the one hoisting a King K-90 over her head with one hand at the end of the '83 show (camera's right on her).

Blaringbrass Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I deffinetly think girls could own a contra, they firickin have babies for cryin out loud, a contra is like a kitten to having 38 hours of labor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMCK Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 (edited) We have one currently at Bush and have had several throughout our history. They rule! Edited January 14, 2003 by DMCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JupiterTC Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I'm a euph chick, and it's hard enough to keep that sucker up. I have total respect to all the women who play contra out there. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ContraAl3of10 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 As I posted in June, 2002. It's more of a question of attitude than gender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamoline Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I deffinetly think girls could own a contra, they firickin have babies for cryin out loud, a contra is like a kitten to having 38 hours of labor WHOA. I pity the poor chick who has to go through 38 hours of labor.. *shudders* she must be having like, quintuplets or something. Just carrying them would suck. As a sop chick, yeah. I have enough trouble holding that sucker up! jk But I have mad respect for the contra and euph chicks. I can't even hold a euph at playing position for longer than 10 seconds before my arms turn to jelly. There was also one at BK this year, one at PR in 00, hrmm.. I can't think of anywhere else.. how long have you been marching there, eh, Jocelyn? I remember hearing someone tell me about Bandette's contra chick back in like.. 00..
