quite frankly.. it depends on who you are.. i hated the football team after i quit... i hated the cheerleaders, when they seemed stuck up... i never hated the tennis team or anyone in the band as a whole. i hated certain individuals in each for totally different reasons. but theres no reason to hate anyone just because of what they are associated with in high school. what the hell is wrong with you anyway? i guess everything that was wrong with me... when you mature, at least i hope you have yet to mature, youll realize all the cliches in high school and most everything you felt about other groups was idiotic. but what the ***k do i know...
Would everyone stop being so ****ing critical of people here and talk to them instead like this message board is for? Thiggs- Although band has a worst reputataion, there are always like 300 kids in it. This is a stumper.
Ms. Jables, everybody in debate is also in band. So...the band cult kids are hated. And the ultra religious athletes.
Good point DrewP lets not be so critical, txhiggs, it really does not matter, because no one really cares what you did in highschool. I mean once you graduate, everything goes out the window. there is no longer the "cool" group and the "losers". In 10 years you would be suprised how much people can and can not change. A guy people would classify as a loser. . . ahem. . . could turn out to be bill gates. then the cool guy quarter back could still be livin in town working at the local plant dreaming about the glory days. Your life is what you make of it not what people think of you. I respect anyone that can play tennis well, thats a pretty hard sport, well at least for this loser. and to march and play an instrament, that is. . . . oh crap I cant take it anymore, if you do that you are a dork and deserve anything and everything dished out to you. . . I guess that isnt a hard question
well this hot girl that sat in front of me in statistics (a hot girl in statistics, who knew) was on the tennis team so can't be anything wrong with that team. and even though i wasn't on it, our band (Westfield's) spent the better part of my four years there kicking everybody else's band's ass. so i guess i can't choose either. but those quiz team people were real dorks. oh wait, i was on the quiz team. dammit. nevermind then.
I never had a problem with the band, but then of course I was in it. I never had a problem with the tennis team, because I had a lot of friends in it. I actually hated our football team. They always thought that they were the **** when they were really just a bunch of dumbasses.
I actually never had a problem with any specific group. I had a ton of friends in the band. I wasn't about to abandon my friends because they signed up for band. I had friends on the football team. I had friends just about everywhere. I also had huge problems with other people in all of these groups. It was never about the group...it was about the individual. When it comes to groups... "It just doesn't matter!!!" --Bill Murray "Meatballs"
I had friends in both groups, so I never really had a problem with either. But if I had to pick one, it would be the Band. I had more of a problem with the Baseball team than anyone else. They thought they were the $hit, and I never really could figure out why, because they were horrible.
captain of the Academic Decathalon team = the Mr. Olympia of geeks no idea on the band v. tennis question though, so I'll go with the Kiwanis Club
I can only speak from my experience. In my experience from high school, the band didn't really matter enough to me to hate or like. I had many friends that were in band, so, as a collective, the band didn't matter, but as individuals, they were ok. The tennis team was always ok in my book. In my professional experience as a coach, tennis is still cool with me, but I've found that in my school, the band directors act like they deserve everything, and it seems like they are trying to pay back all the athletic programs for years of being second to athletics. I've also seen that this attitude is rubbing off on the band kids and they are becoming the same way. The band kids seem to always be trying to compete with the jocks, and the jocks want no part of it. I hope this isn't how it is everywhere, but this is what my eyes have seen.
Hell in my High School ROTC were the cult like crew [Reagan had a good ROTC but . . . ] Band had the Same Appeal didn't have a Tennis team . .that I know of. . . but the Golf team seemed ok Rocket River
So you were on our school's debate team ... then you'll understand exactly why the debaters bugged me so much: that damn spinning the pencil around their thumb trick they always did (you're doing it right now, aren't you?). It drove me crazy! In my classes I could always tell who were the debaters (or people who were friends with them) because they'd sit there for the full hour spinning their pencils. I was told they learned it because it was a distraction to the other team in competition. It was certainly distracting. A lot of the teachers I had finally had to issue a pencil spinning ban just to stop it. Ummmm, but other than that, the debaters seemed like okay people.
