The Pride

[OUEverest]

You ****ers are talking about the band....... The band

[bsoklau]

Just heard that the Pride hired a Dr. Justin Stolarik from Wisconsin. He did grad work at Tex****. He and the current ****istant director of bands went to Florida together. It will be interesting to see what direction he takes the Pride. I hope I can hear them from my seat this season.

But can he recruit.

Here's his resume. One of the biggest complaints that other have made about The Pride was the lack of drumline and percussion. Seems that's his specialty.

All the best drum line talent is in the sec area. I don't know how we will be able to resolve that problem.

Actually mid-western and Texas drummers are better. Also, Oklahoma has strong high school drummers
Just saying.

Got to hit the jucos need immediate help. I heard some guy didn't qualify at a&m. With the trouble at Florida a&m we need to see if we can get in on some of talent. His first call should be to the guy fired at famu. If he doesn't do that I say we got the wrong guy.

With this hire it sounds like OU will have a band on the rise.

Hope so, they get out done by everyone.

[Pardner]

Plus he has a drum corps background. That's a plus.

Looks like a good hire. I'd prefer someone with Head Director experience, but we've had good luck hiring ****istants in the past.

You know what they say... you can't prepare for true SEC rhythm...

[Boomer53]

I just hope they get new uniforms for the flag girls. They are the most embarrising thing about the whole University

That was Britt's, too.

[OnlyOne]

So this hire is official? Hadn't heard anything from OU Band yet. But on second thought, that's nothing new.

This thread has turned into gold.

When they hold tryouts for flag girls, I think a panel of Land Thieves posters should be the judges. I can guarantee there won't be a girl over 130 lbs.

You say that as a joke, but up until recently there absolutely WAS a weight limit on the flag girls...

[OnlyOne]

And there needs to be one again.

I believe it. I have noticed a lot more big **** chicks stumbling out there lately. But I choose to focus more on the twirler than the flag girls. Besides, the position of flag girl is universally known as one for ugly chicks.

Master's & PhD from UT, home of the most boring band in the universe plus currently the poster boy for the lgbt crowd

[MikeLucky]

Wait, wut?

Truth.

[usaosooner]

The new band director is ****. I'm sure that fact will be be on the evening news at some point around these parts.. He's acclaimed. Good hire

[CrimsonRez]

Well bring that **** back...besides the band would be fine if the drum line was better and people could actually hear the music if they were sitting further away than the 5th row.

I think I already said at one point in this thread, but the weight limits led to some very unhealthy eating habits and unhealthy girls.

I see, but no limits shouldn't be a license to do your own "super size me" experiment.

lol correct.

[Seattle Okie]

So we have a **** band director but what everyone cares about is how fat the flag girls are? That says something about how far we've come. Not sure what it says, but it says something.

Seriously though, welcome to Oklahoma Dr. Stolarik. More volume please.

[CrimsonRez]

I kind of always ****umed band directors were **** anyway...

[fdubzou]

Just play ****in loud and I'll be happy

Britt was on the OU drumline. so i hope he does better than Britt did

Just saying.

truth. most drum corps are filled with players from oklahoma, texas, illinois, california, pennsylvania, and florid****

[Al F***n Swearingen]

Throw out the boring ****, the crappy songs, the marching in a line/formation bull****.

I want Stanford's band. One that respects anything and no one, especially themselves. I want to see female clarinet players topless and the trombone players with strings tied between bother of their instruments. I want to see a band in S&M gear and flaunting some homo **** in honor of Boren and Bounce.

I want wild and out of control. Until then the Pride is ****.

I have been following these band issues intently for many years. I was telling all my friends that for "godsakes" if we don't fix the drumline I was going to give up my tickets. I heard that following the cotton bowl, big time boosters met and decided to go to Boren and tell him if he did not do something about the drumline they were pulling their support for the University. Thankfully it looks as though our statewide nightmare may be nearing an end.

[barrister]

Second idea axe the band program. Bring in a d.j. and play wicked house music at half.
