I was at a Napa High game a few years back when I realized the band still used the same whistle commands. Next game I brought one with me and, when the band was formed up in end zone, blew the "two three up down "...actually got the drum line to crank up before they realized that it wasn't from the drum major. My son thought it was hilarous. The band started laughing too fortunately.
All I remember about the uniforms was that everybody else's fit better than mine. Huge pants! If I turned too fast they would rotate.
That was some act Bill !!. My two favorite bands where the Regents and the Nomads..if they were playing I knew it was going to be dance worth going to.
Hey does anybody remember Mr. Covey? Sweet man. The bank sent me out to do an appraisal on his place out on Mt. George. His wife greated me at the door. I told her that I had him for a class once (he was also one of my gym teachers). She said that she would tell him. I started wandering around doing the interior sketch of the place and he was in the living room. He said hello and said that he did indeed remember me. I'm thinking to myself that it was a nice thing to say but he couldn't possibly remember me 30 years later. He was quiet for awhile then he said "you ran track and were a tennis player weren't you". How do teachers do that?
