Fascinating thread! Keep fighting the good fight, Festus -- but maybe a little less earnest next time.BINGO! That's always my problem! I am waaay to earnest, but that's just the way I am. I see the good in everyone (even to the point where my friends think I am naive), but the growing homophobia on this board was getting too much for me to take! I needed to just take a deep breath and walk away.
Even if true, he's not the worst one on the team. Not even close. Some other girl took your girlfriends spot. Have you watched the flag team this year?No one didn't make the flag team because of him, I mean have you watched the flag team?So its only his skill level that embarrasses you? Why didn't you say that in your first post when you wanted him to blow out his knee on field?Do girl tuba players stand out? How about black flute players? Really fat or small people stand out too.I played trombone from 2001-2004 in "The Pride". Got to go to 3 bowl games and the Big XII game in that span.
Apples were the greatest thing ever. They made us happy.
What else can I answer about the band?
I'm with Tracz on this one, it's just lame to chant shazbot! during a song. Very ku. Not offensive to me as much as unoriginal and lame.
What is your opinion about the flag dude?
He's drawing unnecessary attention to himself. For people like that its all about a "statement" that they can do anything. A marching band is all about uniformity to the group so you perform as one. When one person stands out above the rest, its counter productive.
Guess what? It's a public university and the band is open audition, so he really can do what he wants (join the color guard). Should the school make a rule forbidding male flag members?
Problem is he sucks and if he was a girl he would not have made the guard. Plain and simple.
ps
His skill level isn't great, but there are worse people on the field every year on both the color guard and in the band.
because on top of that his is not in a position were he should be. Sure he could be a tuba holder, I would have no problem with that being gay or not (don't even know and don't care) but he was put in the place of a person how probably deserved it. He has no business on the field in that position.
Hate to break it to you but yes some one did not make it. They have tryouts for the flag team during summer camp. People don't make it.

Just Curious, but what if they do hate him because he's gay? You gonna do something about it? No? Ok thats what I thought.I am not going to do anything about it. But if you do hate gay people don't be coy about it.
What I am saying is that he only stands out because you are looking for him. He is dressed in the proper uniform. The super fat people and poor marchers tick out way more.Do girl tuba players stand out? How about black flute players?

I didn't say anything about rules that should or shouln't be crated or mention his sexual orintation, you seem to be more concerned with that. When I was in the band there were several gay people in the organization and nobody cared. I simply think he stands out unnecessarily. For someone who hates the band and the Wildcat march, you sure have a lot of opinions. If you don't like the band, go to the restroom while they perform. Not a difficult thing.
hmmm it seems you are lying now. Its pretty clear that its not his lack of skill that shames you, but his very existence. Is the other guy just as bad at flagging as well? So it is pretty much just that you think its "gay" then isn't it? Skill has nothing to do with it.I played trombone from 2001-2004 in "The Pride".

Being a tuba player from 98 99 I can say that I ma rough ridin' embarrassed that we have a rough ridin' male color guard. eff I think we have two of them now, they must be breeding. Its a rough ridin' embarrassment and I hope he rough ridin' tears his ACL and MCL while marching with his rough ridin' flag poll.

Man, lots of redneck retards coming out in this thread. Gay people exist, get over it you .
The only time I pay attention to the flags is during the beginning of Wildcat March. During this time, I couldn't care less whether the flag people are male or female as long as they are . BTW, I hate the Wildcat March.High five man! You get it.

OK, so it's:Tell us exactly how (or why) it embarrasses you as a person. Be specific.As is said, you're a sad person. So much hate for something that has 0 effect on you.Sorry, but I don't date a flagboy. When's your next protest Fred?So its the amount of metal you put on your mouth that makes you a "REAL" man? Since when did YOU get to decide what makes someone a REAL man? It takes more balls to go out in front of 40K+ rednecks and do what you want than to play some damn tuba I can tell you that. You're a sad little insecure boy with major male issues.Well I hope they don't. I love that they are living their lives without having to kowtow to society's predescribed "roles". I think it's kind of sad that you don't support your fellow band members simply because they choose to to carry a flag, and it's doubly sad that you wish them bodily harm.I played trombone from 2001-2004 in "The Pride".

Being a tuba player from 98 99 I can say that I ma fracking embarrassed that we have a fracking male color guard. shazbot! I think we have two of them now, they must be breeding. Its a fracking embarrassment and I hope he fracking tears his ACL and MCL while marching with his fracking flag poll.
As a tuba player you certainly were never in the social position to tell anyone what was or wasn't cool.
shazbot! YOU. My mouth piece had more metal than two of his little flag poles. The guy should be a real man and be playing a trumpet or a trombone. He is a fracking embarrassment. Whats next a male cheer leader wearing the dress?
Sorry to tell the truth about your boyfriend. Maybe if Kansas legalizes same sex marriage he can were his color guard uniform to your wedding and his flag toting friends could be part of the ceremony. It would be so cute.
don't hate him, just saying he's a fracking embarrassment. He is not even that good.
Well its a girls world in that area. He is not good. He is a drain on resources (had to buy a special outfit for them). If he was not a guy he would not be on the team, hint he pushed the right buttons and threaten to sue.

I really hope you do (100% serious). It is absolutely incomprehensible to me how a male color guard member could embarrass you.OK....so the two flag boys....You're a bad person when it comes to this. Really you are. You can become a better person (we all can) if you learn how to not be scared of things different or strange to you.
Not cool. Call me a bad person all you want, but if you are going to wave a flag around at least wear a different outfit than the flag girls.
They should each get a man card taken away from them.
Ok now you can flame me for being prejudice or sexist or whatever.....
And by the way, there are no Man Cards in life to be given or taken away. The only people worried about such things are afraid of something in themselves.
Thanks for the life lesson. I'll take it to heart. I'm already becoming a better person.

I'm sure their man cards are currently being carried by their boyfriends.

storm, did you ever bring your tuba to parties in college? like, get real drunk and break out the tuba?
