- I wasn't at the party, but I'm remember the hair-catching-fire story. Unless there were two of them, it was Pam Chappell and the reason it caught fire was because Freddie P had a lit candle and was trying to drip the wax down her neck. We heard about it when Pam came back after the holidays with the back part of her hair shorter.

- Got it... I happened to catch a few minutes of a soccer game at a sports pub the other night, and you're right. I didn't realize how few stripes are actually on a soccer field. I guess marching in Europe is a real challenge.

- RIght, if only they striped the playing field that way, it would work out. Unfortunately I think they stripe them on the 5 and 10 meter marks.

Scott Cullen (BooBoo) said… - Yo Bro. Welcome. What's a topical storm? I remember Fort Walton as the first time I went to the beach. However, since the weather kept us restricted from the beach; Charlie, Steve, Bruce and I had a ground floor room; The dunes were high; We were boarding the bus to leave for home when I realized I had not even seen the gulf. I ran out and stood on the dune for 60 seconds just to see it before climbing on the bus.

- 8 - 5 hahaha. I wonder (members who have knowledge of DCI, listen up), do they have a different step when marching in European metric counties? 8 steps to 5 meters (instead of yards)? Hey, I'm an engineer, I'm allowed to ask such questions.

- Ok, in the interest of full disclosure, I was not a part of the band my senior year, 1979. I needed to decide how to best use my time, and it was in debate. So, (sniff, sniff) I wasn't a part of the Macy's group. But I was in the band from 5th grade to 11th grade, and I decided I wanted to be a part of this group anyway. So sue me! :-)
