[Flames24Rulz]

The Marshall High School Band will be performing God Bless America before the game! Watch for the tall guy playing the trombone. :D

Clarinets > trombones.

The best part about switching from clarinet to alto clarinet was moving over next to the sax players and in front of the trombones.

How many slides did you get hit with?

[Slugger_16]

NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDS

[CaliforniaRaisin]

NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDS

 

You *really* shouldn't be one to talk.

[otis89]

NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDS

 

That may be, but I still get to be part of the pre-game ceremonies AND see the game for just $7!

Oh, and my HS performed two straight years at Dodger playoff games and at the 1996 Alamo Bowl and none of those 3 times were we on TV. Stupid ESPN. :(

We got the Dodger playoff games for free.

[otis89]

I wish I could perform at Cubs playoff games! Wait. Scratch that. I wish the Cubs could make the playoffs. :cry:

*Really*? I was never a band geek.

 

I prefer to leave my nerdities for more important things.

[Mizzou]

Pending the results of the Reds game tonight, the Cards are just a half game up on them. I'd love for the Reds to win and then the Cubs to defeat the Cards and be partly responsible for them no longer being in first place.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Now.... lemme get this straight. You're part of the group providing the entertainment...... and YOU"RE paying THEM to be there ???

 

You need a better union, no?

I was thinking the same thing, Fred.....oh, or should I have just posted "QFT"..no probably not.

[UMFan83]

Not going to watch, I'll be at the Bears game. Do me a favor Cubs and knock the Cards out of first place please.

[A New Era]

NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDS

 

Nerds make all the MOnay.

[otis89]

Nevermind.
