Seems to me the entire halftime should be the band playing interesting stuff. They surely could time their performance to the football game and make everyone happy.
I know folks who would go just for the halftime band performance – me included!
Good luck….!

CK and Klahowya have a combined band to help offset the costs to the schools and parents. Creating one band with kids from two schools allows resources from each school to be used more efficiently. It also allows for a larger band and more parent involvement. The band benefits from the talents of both band directors – Mr. Woods from CK and Mr. Sutton from Klahowya. The kids work amazingly well together.

How about they just get rid of Homecoming court popularity contest bullcrap out of the whole thing? PROBLEM SOLVED!

It seems to me the ‘classless’ folks was the group who treated their guests shabbily. Few guests would return a visit to rude hosts.

The reason for being there was a game. The band would be an interesting half time performanceresting listening but why drag out the boring part? Place the boring chit chat at the end of the game and let it go overtime. No one would be there to care.

Easy deal. Next time, include the processional in the show. Keep the show under 20 minutes. Band kids work very hard to get these shows right, so do the band directors. I can see why the CK director said buzz off, but I can also see why the other team took the field. Their coach doesn’t want to have his players cool down too much. No class? Maybe, but he was following the rules.

ducttape: you keep blaming people for a lack of supervision. Where was this lack of supervision? The CK football team was kept off the field until the band left. Read the articles again. It was the Foss team that started to run onto the field. They are the responsibility of the Foss coaching staff. Do you really want our staff placing hands on kids from another school?

Duc rarely has a point. Just be glad he deidn’t blame Bremerton for it.

The once-proud bastion of academic pride along with a long standing of superior extracurricular performances appears to be coming to an end. The current building administration comes across as totally clueless and inept, and the flagship of high school achievements here in West Sound is sinking. Several friends of mine have children attending the school and have expressed serious concerns about teacher issues lately. What is being done about it? Who is being held responsible for such neglect? And who is this Mr. Hunt? Please do a follow-up story on the recent troublesome trends at this school.

I blame the ego and arrogance of the Band Director. I’ve heard he has a mean temper towards the kids. Too bad the kids have to suffer. And what is this nonsense with CK and Klahowya having a combined band. As an alum, I resent the fact that the individual school is not represented by that individual band. I do not support this one bit!

Ducttapeo1, Geesh, why are you making a big deal about what I said? The precession ran long. Yes, that is what happened. Please re-read it. I said the band getting booted off the field happened so quickly. So, what’s your point?
