Sad Halloween Times
Re: Sad Halloween Times
My daughter managed to eat her entire bucket of candy in two days. Today she's going to learn about consequences: no more candy--it's all gone.

Re: Sad Halloween Times
Well, they had both been in marching band at BYU, which is kinda like cheerleading, and so to them they were going as scarier versions of themselves. Yes, they are die-hard enough to consider anything that smacks of U of U to be scary.TheAnswerIs42 wrote:Why?bobtheenchantedone wrote:My parents, BYU alumni both, once dressed up as U of U cheerleaders.TheAnswerIs42 wrote:My husband and I were BYU cheerleaders.
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

They certainly did! And went to a two-week band training instead of on a honeymoon. And I got to visit Disneyland several times as a baby due to band trips.Katya wrote:Did they meet in marching band?

My dad played the euphonium, and then was the photographer when he, ah, stopped taking classes. My mother was a flag girl.Katya wrote: What did they play?

Re: Sad Halloween Times
That's awesome. My husband plays euphonium, but was in the trombone section of the marching band when I met him on a band trip. I was a flag girl as well.bobtheenchantedone wrote:My dad played the euphonium, and then was the photographer when he, ah, stopped taking classes.

Nerd alert! As a choir girl, we always found the band to be irrepressibly dorky.

So.True.
At my school, choir kids were mostly pretty mainstream. But the band kids... They're out there on their own little dorky planet. (Though slightly ahead of drama kids, percussionists, and stage crew.)

My school's orchestra was extremely prestigious, and the stereotype of Crazy Asian Tiger Moms HELD TOTALLY TRUE. Please visit my poll in a new thread.
