Laugh If You Want, But Those Baton Twirlers Are Badasses !!



Yep, time again for one of THOSE stories... I was never a band geek - being a geek in everything else was enough for me. A lot of people pick on the kids in the Marching Band, but there are two guys in California who know otherwise.....

In Quartz Hill, Ca., a pair of would-be muggers decided that a 17 year old girl on her way to school was a perfect target: she was young, alone and seemingly not paying much attention. They came from behind, grabbed he by her coat, and demanded money - then the plan went sour..

It seems that the girl was a Baton Twirler in the Marching Band. If you think that's funny, watch one of those girls fling that big piece of metal around a stadium sometime - they're like Ninja's dressed in gaudy, sparkly outfits !! She took the baton she was carrying , and proceeded to beat the hell out of BOTH of them - in addition to punching one of them in the nose, and kicking the other one in the jewels...... A True Badass !

While deputies didn't catch the muggers, a spokesman for Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office put it best..... "Marching Band - 2, Thugs- 0".

I love the band at Clemson so much I got my season tickets beside them. A lot of my friends were in the band. Most of them were female. Of course I did know a couple of male members. There was a kid going to college with me from Conway. He studied nursing now we are talking the sixties and you could get beat up for that. Me being that Dude's friend really helped out with the girls for sure. So when George Bush was a cheerleader in college what do you think was on his mind. Band, Nurses and Cheerleaders rock.
