Re: Life in Forest in the Early 70's
Though I started a thread on the Forest Band, I realize its changed dramatically over the years since I was a young pup playing my trombone and trying not to knock my mouthpiece against my braces whenever we had to snap our instruments to attention on the marching field. Lea Ann Wright's Dad put those braces on my teeth but I never held it against her. Anyway, one year (around 1972) one of our marching band highlights was to come to a stop with 2 rows facing each other diagonally and while maintaining control of our instruments, we took off our hats and a certain beat of cadence we'd throw our hats to the opposite line from us while they were throwing their hats towards us. Now these weren't little bitty hats, these looked like something the Palace Royal Guard at Buckingham Palace would wear. I'd throw low and catch the hat coming towards me that was thrown high. I think we did this like 4 straight times and then went on with our halftime show. Mr Harvel and Dr Rigby had some wild ideas to make us more of a top notch high school band and I for one say they did a pretty good job! champion If you remember these uniforms, we're on the same plateau. Can anyone name any of these people? I see Pequita Tadlock and I think John Boozer in there.
