Read post 140 and 141. That video just shows how good of shape they have to been in but being in shape does not make it a sport. Tell me what you think about those two post.

I don't see where they called it a sport. They are saying that it is just as athletic as a sport. Give in there KEV-O, Band is a very active "performing art". How ya like that? I said it, but it sure was hard to type out. /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

If band is so hard an yall practice so much then why do yall play the same stuff all year, why not play something new?

 

b/c we do play different things all year in the stand but like any football team who has to perfect thier defensive and offensive plays we have to perfect our movements and our tone as well as marching in step all turning in the same direction at the same time so just as you run plays repetatively in pracetice we go over our forms set by set. oh and yes band is a sport this coming from one who has mrached an instrument marched in the colorguard and played several sports the require just as much physical ability and endurace as band oh yeah this is also coming from someone who has grown up around football all her life. i never said that it was harder than football but is still a sport never the less.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
