Blondie 10 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 one of the reason the football teams sucks it up is because some of the students at graham that could help the football team are lazy and just want to sit back and talk trash. so my concern is why don't some of the people in the school that can help out, help out and instead of twiddleing their on xbox controllers actually come out and help the football team. Thats why Graham football is declining because you have lazy groups of underclassmen who have work ethic and it shows on friday night. you cant force anybody to do anything they have to want it for themselves and its sad to say people like you don't want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking 766 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 the band wins more than the football teamwe have about 4 or 5 women and thats our whole band booster club the football team gets all the ticket money, concession money, and the boosters money the band has 1 stand at the football games and thats all we get the rest are from fundraising that the whole band does GHS doesnt cut us any slack the whole skool doesnt even care about us but if they just listened one time they would hear how good we are but all they do is watch our football team suck it up  I agree, Graham's band is awesome...they deserve better, but it's the same at all schools, band has to fend for itself...they're not part of the athletic department, so they don't get any of the proceeds from the gates. it's a shame that there aren't more people in the band boosters...because Graham's band is truly one of the successes for Graham High School.

I used to but grauated several years ago. I wasn't laughing at the fact that you think the GHS band is better, I was laughing because you said they are "by far the best" in SW Virginia. Graham has a great band and so does Richlands, but I think the trophy case over the past 8-10 years would tell you which has had the consistently better band. Even then it isn't by much.

Both years Richlands was awarded state honor band. Dude I would consider that mission accomplished.  And actually your the one making the "better than" claims by trying to smub Richlands in your comment you posted, which by the way is just a Graham fans opinion.  I went to Richlands many years ago and had the honor of attending some of Jimmy Jones clinics he did for Island Creek. And oh yeah, my father was in the band with Jimmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..... 10 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 the only thing that the band and the football team has in common is that they both wear uniforms. so when you say the band is the only thing good about graham high school football it really makes no sense. The band does nothing for graham high school football. Yes Graham screwed up its not like they can't get it back so everybody just need to relax because the piss poor season graham had last year is over its time to move on.
