It does? Not here!! They actually have band as a class. Sometimes they get out of other classes for individual lessons once a week. Our current school doesn't offer orchestra.

Yes, here band is also a class -- an 'academic' subject in which one gets a grade. It's always first period -- the first class of the day, because during marching season, you have to be there at 7 am and go through about 9.15 am, with about fifteen minutes to shower / change clothes / take the curlers out of your hair (yeah, I wore curlers) / put on makeup, before your next class. The girls on the drill/dance team would rehearse *their* routine with us one day a week, and they *ALL* wore curlers. There are pictures of us in the highschool yearbooks, looking sullen and sleepy dressed in old clothes with curlers in our hair. The reason for the curlers and clothes and all is that it is so fucking hot in August and September and even October that marching around outside, even at 7 am, is a sweaty proposition. AND you have to start band a MONTH before everyone else starts school -- it's called "summer band" and you go all day, with the mornings spent outside marching and the hotter afternoons spent indoors playing. The poor football players have what's called "two-a-days" -- two practices in a single day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon or evening. The drill/dance team does the same. Hell, even the ROTC (military prep) kids are in on the act. All to entertain the grown men in a small town whose lives revolve around football on Friday nights. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 22:01:18 +0100 From: "Matt H" Subject: seven-seas Mac on Re:Covered Just wanted to report that I saw the man on the telly this evening.....very cool - good rendition of Waiting for the Man, and Sliding sounds much better live.

And our drill team (band front) goes for the same length of time as the band. All day. I was the band front instructor at our school(s) (we moved twice) for 7 years! believe me...it's HOT here too. And our school is at the top of a HUGE hill from where the practice field is....and we had to walk up and down it like 6 times a day!!!! Ian plays the drums...so next year, I'll have all that too look forward to again! Only...now I'm getting away with just dropping him off and won't have to stay there myself...coz i'm not doing the band front any more! I kinda miss it! And miss the excercise!! Enough about that.

And miss the excercise!! Now you know why band substituted for PE. I hated PE because I was a pale scrawny girl :-) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 23:34:24 -0400 From: "David & Bernice Whiting" Subject: seven-seas Toronto, Mac <<>> Unfortunately, this will affect me. I just returned from a business trip in Toronto today. My wife wanted to kill me for going on it and I'm actually sleeping on the couch tonight, but I had no choice.
