    I like old-fashioned, norman-rockwell, old-school bands. Ya know. Bands that played before the rule changes that made it a no-contact sport.

    This is my high school band, btw. Anybody got any footage of their old college or high school band?

    Didnt Pro Football use-ta use college and high school bands at half-time? I forget.
    Anyway, they should.

    I don’t remember, but if they Rams could get a young Special Teams Coordinator, then we could have a new band. They are young enough to be a Rap group. I wonder what their names would be? Hmmm. Again, we have to see who we hire as our new Special Teams Coach.

    I wasn’t a band kid, but my son was. He actually did the 5 year tour, starting in 8th grade (the high school band director went to the middle school to recruit; he wanted to go from a 4 Open to a 5 Open, and needed more bodies in the band).
    I think it was the best thing he did. By the time he got to high school, he had 100+ upper classmen friends.

    Oh, and the wife and I got drafted to be band parents. That meant we got to lug the props on and off the field every show. The worst was his senior year. They did “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and had a friggin fun house prop that was over 15 feet tall. Well, it didn’t fit down the ramp at Met Life Stadium. We had to take off the top of the damn thing, get it onto the field, and then reassemble it. Crazy assed shit…
