I played football in high school and I could honestly care less whether the cheerleaders show up at all. The band is responsible for 75% of that great friday night atmosphere, with the crowd supplying the other 25%.

 

 

bands fire up teams cheerleaders just flaunt themselves but i really wish dekalb would get there band up to par. but good luck to them at the d2 state championship

why would you say something like that seriously. I highly highly doubt a band member could do anything else but play a dumb instrument like a flute. I've never heard of a band member ever playing another sport. Band kids are the kids who only sit with other band kids at lunch and cut themselves because the world hates them.

 

I hope you are just kidding because that is probably one of the dumbest statements I have ever read. Lets see if I can list all the athletes and activities on a band in the Boro - 4 swimmers (2 of which competed on the state level), 2 soccer players, 5 rugby players (won state competetion in 2007). Also many band members participate in other activities - 2 homecoming queens and courts, 2 homecoming kings and courts, student body presidents,student council members, sorority members, drama, chamber choir, women choruses, musicals, HOSA, service clubs and various academic clubs. Not to mention all the academic and music scholarships. Several graduates are now marching at the college level or in concert bands. Seems to me that these band kids are well rounded individuals.

Agree 100% /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> I was one of those well-rounded individuals in high school, who was serious about academics and active in school activities.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
