Oh, I always thought that looked like so much fun! I wasn't gonna quit my instrument to do color guard, but would sometimes twirl the flags around just for fun between practices!

We also had a terrible football team, most years, and so I grew to seriously dislike the sport, watching our team lose, lose, and lose so badly we band members considered taking the field in their defense! I figured if I turned the baritone sax sideways I could at least take out a couple of opposing linebackers ...

My band experience in high school was a bit different. I played 6 string electric and 12 string acoustic guitar in a rock band in the mid 1960's. It was a fun time and after all these years I still miss it. Things pretty much fell apart after graduation. Since I survived 4 years in a Catholic high school for girls I also played the 12 string acoustic guitar at folk mass.

We all played some instrument in our family. I played violin, piano and accordion, took singing lessons but I could never quit giggling long enough to get a real song out so I gave it up. But I also played on a great baseball and volleyball team. And I did that under the watchful eye of Catholic nuns...how I survived is a miracle.

Karen- my football team was also horrible. We were told that people were coming to the football practices to see the BAND, not root on the team. Haha!

We've got a whole Pet Talk Ensemble here . Very pleased to see that, music is a great part of life. I was percussion, battery leader, played marching bass and snare. And other percussion instruments during concert band season. My brother has been picking up guitar.
