#1 Band parents have issues with evolution

Post by Mayabird »

I always did hate Band Parents. Not meaning all the parents who helped out their band kids, like my mom did, but the asshole busybodies who were too pathetic to be domineering at PTA meetings so went to the next step down and playing kingmaker for the frakking marching band. This is just as much the pettiest of politics as everything else. They can all burn in georgia.

As for the evolution part, come on. It's Missouri; what did you expect?

Each figure holds a brass instrument. Several instruments decorate the background and the words “Smith-Cotton High School Tiger Pride Marching Bandâ€
