sonnymax Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Maybe we should collect some money and buy him a gig bag. RAYNHAM, Mass. -- A Raynham 12-year-old boy has been banned from taking his saxophone on the school bus. Andrew DiMarzio loves to play his tenor sax at home and at school, but the bus company said the case for his saxophone is a safety hazard aboard a crowded school bus. His mother insisted it can easily fit under the bus seat, and is no bigger than many back packs or over-sized athletic bags that other students carry. The dispute comes as the school district is trying to rebuild the music program after years of budget cuts.

Royal Oak Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Brought back painful memories of lugging my alto on the bus to school 30 years ago. In fact, it brings back a few painful memories of playing the thing - school concerts where you had to wait around backstage for hours while the cool kids played Bowie's "Let's Dance" on repeat, wearing a dicky bow, playing hokey shit in the concert band with 70 bar rests aplenty, compulsory membership of the school choir with 2 months of rehearsals for a Carol concert, being forced to join a marching band and go to all-day brass band competitions etc etc Seems they may be doing the boy a favour!

The world is getting crazier and crazier. Don't let it out of your hand. Plus, most schools, for larger instruments, have horns at school so that kids don't have to transport large horns to a from school.... Quote

sonnymax Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Posted October 19, 2011 ...it brings back a few painful memories of...wearing a dicky bow,... I don't know exactly what that is, but I am nonetheless shocked and horrified, and I feel compelled to weep openly, for you, for your children, and your children's children. Quote

Bow tie; why I didn't call it that probably speaks volumes on a Freudian level, ie wearing one makes you feel like a dick. Edited October 19, 2011 by rdavenport Quote
