BlankI remember that MSBOA as well, Jim. That's where they honored Jack
Chard with recognition and I found out his real first name.

Do 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.
