Cola 10 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Ryan , I truly appreciate the RHS band and I know the hard work the mambers and parents put in, but for the life of me I cant understand why the "powers that be" couldnt have rescheduled this years All District tryouts on a different date. They should have known last year when the band had to take seperate buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,554 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 some of those people have the oppurtunity to get a college schlorship (sp) and they dont have a state football game to worry about...and as for the 2 college students...we had 3 percussionists gone to take SAT's and its impossible to perform a show with no beat in the backround...they wont b in teh band saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're musicians, not football players. The people in charge though should understand they have three schools playing for State Championships on the day of the tryouts.

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 It wouldn't make any difference. The chance of bad weather the second week of December is about the same as the first week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powers to be should have enough foresight to schedule these events on days that would not be affected by any team in the district that may end up in the play offs. Its not just the band either. The choir scheduled a couple of concerts recently that went unnoticed due to it taking place on a Friday night when football was being played.

fortysixandtwo 10 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 you know what this is really funny, bandsucks and freshprince, noone cares about your opinion and the band has never been given the respect that we deserve, i could have cared less if we won state,and i think about everybody but about 5 ppl in the band actually did, cause we are made fun of on a daliy basis so why should we care or support? and after we got done playing noone cared, cause we didnt score a touchdown, 90 % people in this town re-live there high school days and their lifes through our football team, cause thats all they care about in this town, the all go to their jobs at emats, and places on friday than its go football after that, but noone cares about the band, and we dont care what ppl think about us either, so everybody in this town we DO NOT care about ur opinions cause why should we when were an 8 soon to be 9 time va honor band and one of the best and the state, so all these football supporters can take their opinions and shove it, cause we dont give a damn....
