Check out the pics in this auction. Maybe you've seen these, I hadn't. A little sophomore marching band tenor drum action goin on for SMFP.

I wonder what he would have said then, if someone would have told him that he would go on to become one of the top few most recognizable voices of the 20th century?

Man, I LOVED high school!

Nice pics. Don't want to own it though; it's nowhere near as creepy as getting hold of his birth certificate, but still feels a little invasive. Let the man have his life out of the limelight.

It just reminds me of how much we all change from our youth. I know I have. Youth is a funny thing. You long so much to grow up and then later, you long to be young again.

Oh how cute! He looks just like the typical dorky high school sophmore. I should know, my high school year book pictures are horrific! Glad you enjoyed high school Madsplash. I hated it and couldn't wait to get out. Now college was another story.

obviously, all the coolest people were in band.

I LOVE band.

I have a pic of JSS doing a trumpet solo in jr high.

And Neal played the oboe.

c'mon, y'all. confess!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU wish you were a band geek. I actually get paid to be one.

Now that's the truth!! Wilde had it right, "Youth is wasted on the young."

I was always a choir geek. Come to think of it, I still am.

I was a choir geek too~ I was in the Choir, Traveling Choir, A Quartet, and the School Pop music group called Horizon. I sang all the time. I am so rusty now though. I sing in church and about the house and that is it. I missed those days. We did not have a band at our school.

Me too. I agree he was a cutie then too. Had I been alive (I was born in '70) , and his age, I would have gone out with him had he asked.

I don't get accessing the yearbook either. I have seen that photo floating around for years. And the people who check into your records to see if your married or have children. No wonder these celebrities are afraid to go out without a body guard.

Stay away from their house. Wouldn't it creep you out to look outside your window and some goofball is grinning and taking photos of your house, just waiting for you to come and go?

If you run into someone accidently that is one thing, but looking for a place they might "go" and wait it out is also creepy.
I think if the shoes were in reverse some of these people would understand that they have crossed the line. Don't go into people's private spaces. Everyone needs a place to be themselves, without prying eyes and cameras.

Oh yeah - What's a clarinet good for? Kindling for a bassoon. What's the definition of perfect pitch? Throwing a tuba into a skip and missing the sides...

Choir jokes are just as bad. Like - what's the difference between a soprano and a porsche? Most basses haven't been in a porsche.

I thought perfect pitch was a piccolo in the potty without hitting the seat? whaddooeyeno.



How many trumpet players (JSS!) does it takes to replace a lightbulb? 100.

1 to actually replace it and 99 to say " I could do that higher, faster AND louder".

Band geeks are some strange people after reading these jokes.
