Sorry, as a former member of TGBFTL, this bothered me (Wickes verbally reamed me out for slipping on a TTR in Tiger Stadium once ... the first thing I said when I saw this on TV Friday was "You can definitely tell this is not a Frank Wickes marching band." ).


You missed a TTR!!!
I noticed a little bit of snaking and then, the very worst, some horrible turns toward the endzone to march the Tigers spell out down the field. Rather sloppy.

Los Angeles Tiger,

I was in the first row at the bottom of the "L" ... it had been raining hard the day before and you know how the field gets closer to the sidelines.

I planted my foot for the turn to the rear (in those great smooth-soled marching shoes) and when I transferred my weight, the plant foot slipped. I had to struggle to stay up.

Needless to say, it never happened again. ;)

I laugh and smile thinking about it now. But when you are 17, it feels much, much different. :)
