How many years has this been going on?

WTF is wrong with people, don’t they know how to conduct themselves anymore? In this case, I’n not just looking at current the band director in question, someone should have put an end to this sort of thing many years ago.

Perhaps even more troubling, the idea of…

How long before Waters claims he is being discriminated against because his Buy-Bull allows him to be misogynistic and homophobic?

Nor some of the others. I’m sure they are code for something, though.

My kid is a section lead in his high school band and he faces a lot of harassment from other band members. The kids are jockeying for position with real stakes (scholarships for example). It’s a charged atmosphere. Remember a few years ago the drum major at a Florida university was pummeled to death in a hazing incident?

“Gina”? I’m clearly missing something.

As for all the other stuff? How long has this been going on?

BTW, TPM? The auto-start stuff bites. Royally.

He shoulda had the band recreate pornographic acts in formation. THAT would have made Sportscenter.

There appears to be an accent mark over the i in Gina. Or it could be a long i

That one jumped out at me as well.

I guess it’s pronounced with a long “i,” as an abbreviation for vagina.

Two words: Ohio State.

Signed, Michigan

Gives new meaning to dotting the ‘i’

If a traditional “Greek” fraternity got caught doing some of this stuff there would be substantial consequences, no?

Yeah, no one in Ann Arbor is surprised by this.
