BlankDo you remember the rating system after each practice? It usually
resulted in either pizza or burgers down the road. I remember playing in Hill
Auditorium for an MSBOA seminar.

Oh my goodness, Robert, I loved your band story. I’m sure Mr. Chard got a
little upset with a lot of us didn’t he?
You have me rolling with laughter. Especially with the story about the can of
nuts. Wow! That is too funny.

Hi Steve
There is definitely a lot of great band stories. I remember once Richard Lavely
& another guy who played the trombone rolled my base drum across the stage
while the band was playing & of course when it came my time to play MR. Chard
stopped the band & was very upset at me for missing my part. Another & my
favorite was when Paul Art had sold MR. Chard a can of nuts for Scouts &
interrupted band practice to tell him his nuts were on his desk. The whole
percussion section got kicked out of band practice that day ummm don’t know
why we were so well behaved lol.

Hey, Bob,
Glad to see you on this list.
This is Steve Pollo from '72. I am retired as well from working in Labor
Relations/Human Resources for Board of Water and Light.
Lots of stories about band on the list in the past. I remember the time I
think you grabbed the bass drum beater and swung and tried to hit Charlotte and
hit the bass drum.
Whackey Jack stopped the rehearsal and waited for somebody to confess. Nobody
fessed up so after ten minutes he started the practice again.
Politicians are like bananas, they enter congress green, turn yellow, and then
they are rotten.
