I chose option B because I'm not 20 weeks pregnant. That, and I don't own a sousaphone.

If OHIOGAL isn't there, then who will do the backbend for the Banner?

I will do it. I was in the equipment room earlier today before rehearsal and I found the old busby hats. Needless to say I had to put one on and show off my flexibility. I hope Dr. Hayward will let me buy one from the band. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get some ice.

I'll admit I'm a bit on the crazy side. At one point in my life a rather major vein in my wrist got cut open badly when I was carrying a dryer down some stairs with somebody and she dropped it on me and I got sliced by sheet metal. I sealed it shut on my own and never went to a doctor because I didn't want her to feel bad. I marched two weeks with a broken rib until I collapsed on the band field on a game day morning. But even I say the popcorn is a better idea.

Come on, you know you want to. Plus, exercise is good for you! I would probably stay away from the backbend though.

Secret to the backbend and keeping balance is to aim your head your heels and not the ground directly behind you. You need to keep you center of balance as much forward as possible. Having a mace as a counter-balance also helps.

If ANYONE buys one of those busbies, it will be me.

What she said!

Besides, you can use it as later pressure to get him/her to join band. "You were on the marching field when you were in utero, pal.... you're joining!!"

ETA- Seriously though... checking with your doc would probably be a good idea before you commit.

The first time I made it without help, and the second time would have left us short a hat if I hadn't reached out. Then I would have to buy two.

I know I've been out of it for a few days, but did I miss the pregnancy announcement???

Congrats.

Ohiogal · Post by **Ohiogal** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 12:05 am

I guess that WAS the pregnancy announcement!

You BETTER be there! At least in the stands with the rest of us. I'm already ticked at your partner. (almost) No excuse is good enough Mark!

Congrats by the way
