Rory Web was in the percussion section; whaddaya want to guess...cymbals? Son of a gun, you guessed it, too scary. What can I say, I never learned to read music. I still have tendonitis in my shoulder from lugging the dang things around. For real. As I recall, I only spent a year in band and I then discovered booze my sophomore year. We were awesome though. We owned the competition that year (in band and in booze).

We owned the competition that year (in band and in booze). you discovered booze late, I see. Did they not teach you to share in this "awesome" band? They did in ours; I mean, how "awesome" could it have been? What, did you start hanging out with the ROTC kids? At our high school, they were the only ones who could, and only on occasion, do that up better than the band kids. Ah, the heights they aspired to, sigh ;D

I hasten to add: Rory and I did not drink. We were good kids. We were good even when we were naughty, and we were pranksters. But we were model students.....who......ah, I can't even finish this one..... ;D ;D

Boy I must be getting old, I feel left out because I WASN'T a band geek. My school didn't even have a band, just musicians for church services. As for booze - I was the very tall guy who never got asked for ID, so buying those $0.35 quarts when the girls always gave you a buck, became a profitable weekend. (The guys always wanted their change). Iguess it's an Irish thing - me and Joe Kennedy - rum runners

guilty (and silly) pleasure, this "going back to school" thing. Not fair because Rory and I go way back, I know. Problem is, we go too far back--high school isn't far enough and we could play with stuff we did in college. And after.
Being in the marching band was fun, I have to admit. For us, it was obviously a social thing too. We weren't allowed to party much like other kids were, so we had to rely on mischief
and we were good at it. It wasn't a "profitable" business like yours. But it had its moments.
"Rum runners". Funny! ;D ;D
