I never played in band in hs, but my brother did. Sounds kinda flat, too. But hey, they probably tried hard. Too bad about the missed notes....ScarecrowCTVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145203702462162761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271453857178906898.post-35504220071178965692012-07-20T18:01:13.097-07:002012-07-20T18:01:13.097-07:00That drummer is no Keith Moon KAPOW!That drummer is no Keith Moon KAPOW!H.W.

On the other hand, the sour notes would have been even louder.<br /><br />My question is, why did the band leader accept those misshaped notes? When my daughter played in the band, the band leader would have chastised the kids to the point of tears if they hit notes like that.<br /><br />It's like the entire band was Third Chair.
