Typical? A band director telling the authorities to pound sand is a lot of things but definitely not "typical".
Breakin' the law, BREAKIN' the LAW...
Yes, it is. You get in the face of a band director and they will tell anybody to pound sand - but it better be in rythmn.
I remember an out-of-town game and there wasn't any place for our busses to park. So, the director decided we'd pull up next to the stadium, discharge players and instruments and then the busses would go find some place to park. As we started to discharge a cop came up and told the director we'd have to leave. The director said, sure, one we're unloaded. The cop said, "no, NOW or I'll impound these busses." The director replied, "There are 250 college students on these busses. Go ahead and impound them!"
That ended that. We got off played the game and afterward and then went home. Fun times.
