At the time it was Bergman, thanks.

I always hoped to just date a basketball player so I could wear his big warm jacket, but most of the basketball players were jerks.

[Tasselfoot]

Meh. Any excuse I can get to type out or say "Bald Knob" and I'm gonna.

But, yea... basketball players... I think they don't get enough oxygen. Too tall.

TEAM SMJ REPRESENT! Yeah, if any of you wondered (knew?) why my representative color was green, this is why. These are some of my best friends: my Halo team. We kicked ass and took names, and so we adopted the colors of our respective characters. Every time we have a choice, we pick our representative color. Game pieces, blankets, wristbands, everything. We rule like that.



Other pics of me that facebook people have uploaded:

Might have been posted already, but worth a repost. My girlfriend ish hawt.

Letter is for Robotics haha.

Seriously though, the whole robot was built by me and another kid. All the other people on the team just sat around doing nothing, with a few exceptions of people who wouldn't do any real work, but they'd help by getting tools and things.

In short though, they give letters for anything at my school. I hear they give them out for choral too.

[JurseyRider734]

what is the letter for.... marching band?

Kids who got letters for marching band in HS made me laugh. NOTHING is less of a sport than walking around while playing an instument. Are they going to make walking and blowing bubbles a varsity sport too? Don't give me the stuff about Cheerleading though... not only do the chicks look hot in the mini-skirts, but they are out doing flips, handstands, and pyramids after school all day.

Please learn how to play an instrument well, read music, play along with other people while listening to your director and march while playing.

Then you can compare to being in band to "walking and blowing bubbles".

I'm not in band, but damn, that was fucking ignorant.

not only do the chicks look hot in the mini-skirts, but they are out doing flips, handstands, and pyramids after school all day.

Because that's what you meant to say.

Thanks, you took the words right outta my mouth. =D

As a former marching band member myself, I agree with tass. It isn't a sport, nor anything near one. Yeah, there are competitions and stuff but it's more about who's better artistically, not physically or anything. Marching is scored, but it's more of a stylistic grading than "This guy is marching stronger and harder than the others". That doesn't even make sense in the context of marching.

Now whether it can be compared to walking around and blowing bubbles I don't know, but I'm fairly sure that's what most people would call hyperbole. An exaggeration to make a point.

Oh and you don't listen to your director while performing in marching band competitions, you just watch the field commanders. Also you don't need to read music during performances because you're playing from memory.

Sometimes bands read their music off lyres.

Gymnastics is a sport isn't it? Isn't that judged on being artistic?

[GuidoHunter]

I hear they give them out for choral too.

I didn't know that this wasn't normal. I never got a letter in it myself, just a patch for doing UIL, but most of my friends did. All you had to do was go out for UIL, All-region, Solo & Ensemble, and attend other choral performances.

Letters at school these days just show your involvement in a group, not that you're good at a sport.

This doesn't change the fact that Tass is right or that band does suck, though...

EDIT after sleepless: Gymnastics requires a WHOLE lot of physical strength, agility, and skill, WAY more than band.

uh there's a huge physical aspect to gymnastics, figure skating, etc.

jurs, you only use a flipfolder during a parade or on the sidelines during a football game. For marching competitions, using them is like admitting that you suck... also it would severely limit your ability to watch the field commanders.
