ContraCutie Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 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 believe you are referring to Shaundra, correct? I marched with her in Empire Statesmen for 2 years. She can most DEFINITELY handle contra. Yeah, I'm tlakin about Shaundra. She was awesome. If I ever get a copy of the pic of the two of us that was taken finals week, with our horns..I'll post it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosthumbleone Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 So I saw this female comedian on tv the other night. She said she played tuba in high school. Her theory behind choosing tuba: "If you're not cool enough to be a cheerleader, carry something big enough to knock one on her ###."

RenegadeBaritone Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Before my freshman year of college, I missed a two week ROTC orientation at my college because I was on tour, and I thought I was going to get my ### handed to me. When my commanding officer, Lt. Etta Jones, said "Oh, that's fine, I understand!" I was in complete shock. It turned out she marched Contra for Phantom in the late 70's/early 80's (four years, I believe). What was even more strange was that the Marine Lt. in the office next door marched Bridgemen in the same era... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityrabbit Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 The best contra player I have ever had the pleasure of playing with is female. Debbie Knisely. Just to prove the point, at a recent indoor show in Philly, she palyed with at least 3 corps that night that I remember, Steel City, Archie, and Yankee Rebels.
