I don't know where I learned it from, but I just think that a man should ask the father. Dads are extremely protective of their daughters, and by her getting married, he loses a good bit of control. So I thought it was the least I could do to go talk to him. And calling him seemed like a slap in the face. So I drove us 350 miles and found a 20 min window where we could talk. It was quite enjoyable after I shook off the nerves. I was shaking like a leaf when I walked up to him.

I predict a win by the Wave...:D

Very true. Hahaha.

Don't believe everything you hear. Make sure of the source of which Richlands fan posts on here.

Will do!!

I don't plan on getting married w/in the next year at all. I would like to wait until mid-late 2013 before I do. I want to move and get settled and make sure everything is good to go before I do anything. Also, I'm not getting married just to not be single. I love this girl with everything in me. And at this point, I wanted to let her know what my intentions are. So now all the fun starts, lmao.

I hate being single though. I get depressed and become a hermet when I'm single. Her Dad told me we could move down there and I could have a job in the family buisness. So we talked it over, and I may move to the Raleigh area. Garner to be exact.

Been thinking about it for a good while now. Finally decided to pull the trigger after I took a trip to Raleigh over the weekend to talk privately to her Father.

Do it. Im sure Todd will whip one right up. And Ill buy one. lol

And I just got engaged!!!!!! Soooo so happy. :D

Someone needs to put that on a shirt. "The vortex is waiting..." would be a killer shirt idea. And I'm sure it would sell.

Amazing idea!!!!!! Let's do it!! Haha

Shall we head over to Taco Bell for some victory tacos this coming Friday??

Mine was always George Wythe too. Just something about that competition. I hated Music in the Castle, I never liked marching on that grass. I believe it was my Jr year, we went to Beckley and preformed at like 1:30ish, hopped on the bus and drove to Wytheville, got off the bus, went to warm up, and preformed again. I loved that day. Two great preformances.

Our band this year is somewhere in-between 40-50 this year. And they are currently a solid II IMO. As for going on after you guys, it never really made a difference to us. We were bread and trained to walk off the bus like champion, ear like a champion, dress like champions, and preform like champions. So our focus was never really anywhere buy our show. I think we had a mental edge more than anything.

As evidenced with our current on field band......When Danny L. Swartz Jr. left, so did our band, unfortunatly.

My freshman year, 2004-2005, we marched white shoes. I hated it. Too many easily noticable phasing problems. We switched to black shoes in the fall of 2005, my Soph year. One of the smartest moves that went pretty much unnoticed in the general eye.

The Civil War show was a good one, and dumb luck is the best way to put it, lmao. But I enjoyed the rivalry we shared. Made both band do so much more than should have ever been tried. I know the rivalry fueld us, and I can assume it fueled Graham as well.

The guy that was in The Cadets went to Tech. He was one of the 3 first trumpets that year. Had another friend march in the Carolina Crown. He was a tuba. Yeah, you guys were always just a bit better at marching, and we were a bit better at music. And our GE was always pretty even. Made for some fun years of band comps, IMO.

I would love to see a DCI show. But I always find out about hte one in Salem like, the day before and never get to go. One of my good friends marched in The Cadets the year they set the world record for highest score with the Dreamsapes: Four Parts and A Door show.

It was a special year. And so was 2004. Those shows were amazing. I just ordered my Semi-Finals and Finals tickets for the BoA Grand Nationals in Indy in November!! Needless to say, I'm super pumped. Band geek heaven. Hahaha.

Some of us do. Lol.

I got on last night. Accepted your friend requests, and then my Xbox decided to "red ring"........I could have cried...

I worked the Blue waterfall the year RHS did it. My 8th grade year.

Just a guess, but how many of your posts do you think were you banning someone? Lol
