Before the first game of the year, Drew got together with his best buds and said, 'Let's go somewhere after the game and do something. Everyone was 18-years-old except Pete who was 19 because he was held back a year in grade school. He was now a senior, just turned 18, and after four years of half-time shows, was getting weary of the grind.ĭrew's group of friends included Larry who played trumpet in the band, Frank, who played trombone, and Pete, who lived close to Drew but was not a member of the band. It was a prestigious position and Drew was well recognized for his abilities. The band played before and after the games and put on a 15-minute half-time show. Any and all constructive criticism is welcome.ĭrew was the lead drummer of his high school marching band and had to attend every home football game as well as several away games each year.
All parties involved were over 18 years of age.Ī special thanks to LarryInSeattle for his excellent editing skills. This story is based on an actual event involving a group of high school seniors after a high school football game.
