re: #46 Backwoods_Sleuth

My high school was very small (about 300 students all told), so our band teacher had to coerce/bribe/whatever a bunch of students to just carry instruments and pretend to play them so we’d manage to have more than a dozen marchers on the field.

Actually, great fun was had by all and some of us actually managed to learn how to passably play an instrument.

My high school was big, my graduating class was about 800 kids. They split the school the next year into two high schools, and I’m thankful I missed all that.
