Never did the band thing since my parents couldn't afford the instruments, I was in Chior instead. I of course did the School Newspaper and Yearbook to exercise my layout skills (LOL). I so remember the sunglasses! How about the collars that we put up (the preppy look)? How about the puffy hair and the wings we made with hairspray at the sides? Do you remember teasing your bangs until they were a mile high? LOL! 80’s Highschool Grad here too! Never did the band thing since my parents couldn’t afford the instruments, I was in Chior instead.

I remember the 80's well. My three sons were born in the early part. They eventually ended up in band too. It is a great place in High School. One played French Horn and the other two played Trumpet. I remember the uniforms too well also. The band director wanted new ones. Everyone was supposed to hem their own. Well, several days before competition we notice many have brown stains(they chose WHITE!!) Needless to say I took home 300 pair of white pants to sew in less than a week. It was murder. I will never forget trying to size and pin each pair while the whole band was inside playing because it rained and lightened. This was a great reminder of "those days". I loved the flashback post.

This was just the BEST, Bethany! Truly! The last thing I was expecting was to see pics of you in your flag team uniform! LOL! I will have to hunt up my old band pics and post some of MY uniform, b/c we have come a long way since then, and I am sure there is still a long way to go. LOL! And my little sister was born in '86! Sigh, for the 80's...... Oh, this was too good. I am still grinning from ear to ear....:D I hope that you don't get into trouble at work! Tell them to write me up and not you! I will take the blow. This was really great! REALLY! Adds to the best birthday ever! (P.s. Do you think I have put enough exlcamation points in this message?! I don't think so, so here is a few more!!!!!!!!!!) :D ((((HUGS)))) I think I will be grinning and giggling about this all day long! Maybe for the next week, too. ;D OH!
