I hope the score is that huge

Great Post!

Both 5-1, East has been better this year. Who will win? I say South, by 14

As a South fan I'd like it to be JC winning...but I know it will be Tn High by at least 14. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

Well I'm glad we agree on something....

Not all bands are the same, don't say we are all wusses and bad just because one band is. If we were to do that it would mean every football team plays dirty, and does drugs. I know that most do not, but some do....so lets just say you all do that. See what I mean? Yeah, some bands don't wear uniforms when it is hot, we do, but some dont. And during the summer we have people get dehydrated all the time, people pass out and hit the ground. The band that didnt practice because of the heat is probably a band that isn't very good. We go outside and practice during class and after school, no matter how hot it is, or how hard it is raining. No, we don't go in lightning. Occasionaly someone will complain about the heat and then out director tells us we are lucky it's only 100 degrees instead of 110 like the bands in the deep south have it. Like I keep saying, I know football is harder, I'm not taking anything away from it. But band is tough too. And please don't judge us all because a few can't hack it.

Hmm....I think it will be 49-14, south.

Yeah, 60 minutes with time outs and water breaks and people to come take over your position when you get too tired to do it. In band you go for 15 hard minutes, no breaks, no time outs...if you get tired, oh well you keep going. Like I said, football IS harder than band, but band is very hard as well. Im in a band of 90 and I don't know one "tree hugging hippie" or anyone that is excentric. Are we nerds? If by nerd you mean we make good grades and don't have teachers give us an A just so we can play a game..then yeah, I guess we are. I've tried football, I liked it....it was hard. I know how it is, thats why I will never say band is even close. But until you march a show with a marching band, just keep your mouth shut and go wish you had a talent besides running a 4.5 40.

Wow, you are so awesome. FootBALL is what you are arguing about. The game of footBALL. Which....WOAH....has a BALL in it. So I guess with the addition of football, that makes two of us with balls in this conversation. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

As you said earlier....only 100 people are allowed on a football team. Band is unlimited. So you just answered your own question...idiot.

I'm in Sullivan South's band. We are doing a show called Assimilation, it's kinda like a terminator theme...but kinda not. You really have to see it to understand it. It's really awesome though.

Because we have to memorize 4 songs AND 135 DIFFERENT spots on the field. AND we have to make them look AND sound good. Our show is 15 minutes long.

Anyone who thinks the band sole purpose is to support the team is retarded.... I'm in the band AND I played football, I still love the team and yes the band does come to the games to support them. But that isn't are purpose. Friday nights during halftime is just another practice session for us, we perform our show and then critique it, always improving. I do think band is a sport, no, it isnt as hard as football, not even close. But it IS a sport. During the summer for three weeks marching on the hot pavement from 7 in the morning until 8 at night. an hour for lunch and a couple of 5 minute breaks just so nobody dies. People pass out, people get hurt. I know how hard football is and I wouldnt ever take anything away from it, but for someone who has never marched in a band to come on here and give their opinion, stating "facts" and putting us down...thats just not even right. My band of 90 people has 6 football players, they do both. During halftime they march in their pads. But really, band is a sport and unless u do it just shut up and keep playin' with your balls. /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" /> Uhmm..ACTUALLY...a few times.

South....by 14. I hope

We only wore shorts and t shirts because it was pouing rain when we left South, when we got there we wished we had worn them...not gonna drive to Kingsport for them though.

South played Science Hill this year, to the result of South winning 27-7
