Before I start, I want to point out that it was Jesse I. that got hurt and not Jonathon L. Anyways, when i look back at all the memories of band, marching included, i have ALL good memories.
Eric's List of Good Band Memories
9th Grade: Drum Major: Deandre Something: Show: Something to do w/Jazz: Eric's Goal: Not to get Beat up
This was the last year that we didnt go to Band Camp, it was also the year that in Brian Crow and Allen Miles sucked up their duet every time they played, this was also the year I saw tim goynes play the guitar for the first time, which was a high point. 9th grade was also the year where it was still "cool" to be in band, so all of my friends were in band.... Jazz band: This was probably my least favorite year of jazz band, caz i had to play 2nd part, but it was also the year that Chad Randle threw me through the wall, Seth brought boxing gloves to jazz band, and knocked roy unconscious twice, and Mr. Madlock made people cry.
10th Grade: Drum Major: Our Very own Jeff C: Show: Beatles: Erics goal in band: To piss of Jeff C.
This is when band started getting really fun, this was the year when "Oh Dang that Sux" was oh so popular. At band camp jamey drank seths urine, chris miller took a dump in a trash can, and then we fed it to jamey in his sleep. Alright, i made the last part up. Anyways This was also the year when beating the living crap out of jamey was in its prime. Umm... This was the year Paul was still in school, and was the furthest thing from cool. Cory Bittle was also at HHS, blessing us w/his amazing ability at the trumpet. And he also set the record for having the ugliest girlfriend ive ever seen. Mrs. Madlock said "Stay erect BONER" And i cant leave out, (no one will care about this but paul) when me and paul played a duet, and we switched hands...what im trying to say is We fingered each other.
Jazz Band: This was an awesome year of jazz band. First off, we were really good, second it was the last year seth was in jazz band, so we celebrated every day by beating jamey relentlessly, chris brought a caddle prod to school and shocked jamey almost to death, this was the year that the we did the Scooter ramping, which is on video somewhere, oh yeah, and Mr. Madlock made people cry. OOH and i almost forgot, i think it was this year that mr. madlock accident kicked the big stand ontop of jeff c. that was funny.
11th Grade: Drum Majors: The Midget Twins: Show: Macarthur Park and Birdland: Eric's Goal: Same as last year, and to pass out from playing as high as i could.
This was the year where mr. madlock said i had a big "chip" on my shoulder and that i was exactly like my brother, anyways, it was also the year that we beat up Northwestern with a stick, Karen and Lacy got into a fight. I would have more things to say about this year, but this was the year when my consumption of cannibis was at its highest, so i cant really remember that much.
Jazz Band: This was when Sid drilled into his leg trying to rebuild an R/C car, My favorite jazz band ensemble b/c tim was still in it, and Bryan from las vegas was on the drums. This was when all the little gay freshmen were in jazz band, and it turned into a drama fest. Which in turn made Mr. Madlock make people cry. My favorite time being when he made tommy cry, well he was actually already crying, but Manteca has always been one to amplify things.
Senior Year: Drum Major: Mrs. Chelsea Phillips: Show: Assorted Mix of Songs: Eric's Goal: Show up
THis was sadly the year that we lost farchette balls, and speaking of balls, this was the year that jonathons dropped and he became a much better trumpet player. This was the first show that started to be electrical. Uhhmmm... Man my memory sux. this is the most recent year, and i cant remember anything about it. I need something to trigger my memory....... there thats better, nothing like some uncut nicoraguan cocaine to get MY juices flowing. This was the year that the most people dropped out of band and band started to taper.
Jazz Band: We went to branson and 10 full sized people fit onto a kids roller coaster, and we have that on film. We saw Drum Corp, and the bus was really hot, and manteca's mother went off on the bus driver. Bad Boys II became a cursing contest. I graduated... and oh yeah, mr. madlock made people cry.
Im sure there are bunch of things i forgot about from the 11th and 12th grade, i seem to be having memory lapses....
Anyways... you can say you dont like band now, but you cant say that you didnt have fun up until now... you faggot.
