Tonight I saw one of the worst displays of sportsmanship from a band I've ever seen. Now when i was in school you didn't play when the other team had the ball and if you were playing to distract the other team the band would have a flag thrown on the and the team got the penalty. Let me sit the stage for you 4th quarter Cascade is winning pretty good 21 to 7 with about a minute to go. Forrest has the ball. The QB comes under center, and the cascade band with horns pointed at the players on the field just played 1 note loud and did it till the play was over, and on the next play did it again. Didi it a few more times till the game was over. The was a away game for Cascade also. Now I marched in band and almost became a director so I think I have a little right to say this. The director should be called into the office and his job on the line for the rest of the year. It's on thing for players to jaw a little....heck their playing the game. Fans the school really can't controll, but for the band to act like that.......its very sad. The director should be glad someone like me isnt the principal cause they'd be on the way out.

To some peoples surprise....some (not all granted) but some band members are great football fans. WE had a guy that had all the stats from the week before for both teams and we'd talk football during the game and......gasp.....even cheer. The band oges to the game to play at half time, and watch the game. Well most do. Execpt flute players their just there :thumb:

hey! im a flute player, well DM this year, who actually cares about the football and can talk football with the perc boys in the stands its quite fun. as for the rude playing its definately a personal foul at the OHS stadium. our directors are soo strict about when we play and such. its rude to be a distraction to the players.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
