Alabama band director tased for refusing to stop playing after HS football game
« on: September 17, 2023, 02:11:26 pm »
"When the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield, do you recall what was the revealed, THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED."


A band director ignored police requests to stop performing at the end of a football game.
After he told his band to keep playing, police attempted to arrest him, the New York Post reported.
He was tased by police when he resisted arrest, the police said in a statement.
.
The director of a high school band in Alabama was arrested and tased by police after he ignored their repeated requests to stop his students' music performance at the end of a football game, a statement from Birmingham police department says.

The New York Post reported that Johnny Mims, the director of the Minor High School band, told musicians to keep playing after police instructed him to stop the music.

The band was accompanying a high school football game between Minor High School and Jackson-Olin High School at the PD Jackson-Olin High School stadium in Alabama on September 14.

The police said they ordered both directors to stop their bands' performances to allow cops to clear out the stadium but that Minor High's director failed to comply.

He refused police orders to stop, instead instructing his band to keep playing, the police department said in a statement issued on September 15.

Almost sounds like a plot for a pretty decent comedy.  I have a similar tale, though but different in other ways......

Many many years ago, when I was in University Band, we got into a band blaring duel durning a game with our most hated rivals.  There always was a gentleman's agreement that the band's would not play while there was play-calling on the field, so the other team wouldn't be missing signals due to noise.

Well, we got in a disruption war with the other band that got so badthat Conference Officals had to intervene by half-time.    I remember leaving the stadium that day, and probably 20 of us got pelted by beer cans.  What a day

It was kind of dark, so I didn't catch what was on the label.  Just dodging projecticles like "W" did with journalist shoes.

Then add the fact, most of us band members snuck booze into our uniforms so we pretty much got snookered after half time,  So in retrospect, if they did hit me, I probably wouldn't have felt much pain
