Rahsash Geldich Posted March 23, 2002 Report Posted March 23, 2002 Who on this earth dares To deny that band is a sport? I tell you for sure it is! But- Perhaps one of a different sort. In this sport, there are no rules. And if you had to have one, Just for the sake of having it- "Don't get caught while having fun." In this sport called band, Duct tape is a deadly object. You could be taped to a chair And left in the parking lot to reflect. In this sport called band, Spectators are nonexistent. Stands seem to be Fan-club resistant. In this sport called band, Five a.m. is the wake up call. Uncomfortable eighties uniforms, Eleven p.m. is when the curtain falls. In this sport called band, You could get caught In a cork-grease fight. But it is funnily fought. Because in this sport called band, We aren't in it for anyone else, For no one else can give respect. Nope! We are in it for ourselves!

Falcon2001 Posted March 24, 2002 Report Posted March 24, 2002 Mwahahaha! Good poem, Rashash, good poem. And YES, band IS a sport, of course. A better one than football, too. *Grin* Yay!

Gyrfalcon Posted March 24, 2002 Report Posted March 24, 2002 *Gyr grins at more friends who are band members* I agree with ye two. =)
Justin Silverblade Posted March 24, 2002 Report Posted March 24, 2002 WHOO HOO! Band goes... all... the... way. SCORE!
Ozymandias Posted March 27, 2002 Report Posted March 27, 2002 "Now the halftime air was sweet perfume while the sargeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh-h but we never got the chance Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died" -Don McClean, 'American Pie' I love those lines, and that song. One of my very best friends was in band all through high school and her attitude about it was very Rasash-Geldich-meets-Don-McClean. Thanks for conjuring happy memories (even though I never got "banded" personally).
Guest Katiya Damodred Posted March 27, 2002 Report Posted March 27, 2002 LOL, I was the inspiration for the duct-tape line...that actually happened to me! It was a sad day in my life, but somehow, Rahsash is forever escaping band wrath....::glares firmly in her direction:: I dunno, I think she's either too sweet, too dangerous, or too tall to pick on. Great poem!!!! Image by FlamingText.com
