Oh boy...this has been one hell of a day. I am so pissed off at both Wall and North Hunterdon High Schools right now. If you don't know what I am talking about, I just spent 4 hours on a cramped, over heated school bus to get to Wall High School only to find out that tonights playoff game has been cancelled. Why? They said the field was in bad shape, although Wall wouldn't allow our team to see it....and it wasn't raining at all for at least 4 hours before we arrived. I think Wall just didn't want to take a chance at ruining it's running game for the playoffs......great. So this brings up the question,when will the game be played? Some geniuses, I don't know if it was Wall,North,the state or all of them combined.....decided it would be played the next night. Saturday night, no big deal right? Wrong. Homecoming dance for both schools was to be on that very night, so therefore they had to postpone homecoming. That kinda angered me, screw over peoples plans for the sake of the football team. I wasn't going to homecoming,but I had planned something I was looking forward to, and now I have to cancel it. Thank you very much high school football. So now I have to take the same damn 4 hour bus ride tommorow night to Wall where hopefully they will play a game this time. I must say though, the band directors and music department did the best they could during this.....they offered only optional attendence to the game, and would not mark off if you were absent. I'd take them up on that offer but I'm kinda being forced to do this.....so here I come football game. I really couldn't give a damn who wins, in fact they are both already losers for postponing this event for a football game. Would they do this for a soccer game?No. Field Hockey? No. Then why the hell should football get extra attention. If the school hasn't noticed,there are more kids involved in the music department than the football team......but we don't get the same treatment. What about other sports, we are a championship fencing school, yet that get's no attention at all. It's all about a bunch of sweaty guys bashing into each other to get at a ball.....what a great sport that is. I don't mean to generalize, but i don't like most of the football players. I think they are spoiled kids who get preferred in the eyes of the school board, most of them( not all) are idiots anyway. Let me ask you this, which takes more skill.....throwing a forward pass or playing a 16th note pattern while marching? I don't know about most of you, but the second seems to be a bit harder and takes more skill. I am tired of seeing football raised up and music pushed down, I'm tired of the school board, and I feel bad for the band for the fact that they don't get nearly as much recognition as they deserve. We work our asses off, and we do it because we love music and band but we don't get nearly enough attention as we deserve. I don't know, I'm pretty fed up with North right now, and I think the two schools should be ashamed that they raised a football game over an event that people had been planning for weeks. For shame. Go lions.......
