Administrator's note: Below is a memory of Larry "Wally" Carpenter from Mark Adolph's profile:
Band Day at UM football stadium, year unknown. We finished our rehearsal and were going over the brick wall to the seats. Wally had his tuba and scaled the wall just fine. But he lost his footing and fell flat on his face with the tuba following. There was not a bruise or scrape on Wally, but the tuba had a new flat on the bell. Can't say if JC was more relieved about Wally or concerned about the tuba...:)
(Administrator's note: "JC" refers to our band director John Clayton.)
