Description: Some laws that apply mostly to high school bands.
Seymour's Laws [rec.humor.funny] Back in high school band we had music folders which had "Frederick Fennel's points for performance" printed inside which were supposed to make us better musicians - things like "Support each note. Listen for tone." In memory of a graduated section member, for two years the baritone horn section of the North East High School band lived by: Seymour's Laws [Explanations are bracketed when needed.] 1. When in doubt, play "The Baby Elephant Walk." 2. When in doubt, and you don't know "The Baby Elephant Walk," play LOUD. 3. When told to play softer, play louder. 4. When told not to play "The Baby Elephant Walk, or to play very soft, don't play at all. 5.

Nothing is illegal, as long as you don't get caught. 17. The C-scale is as follows: E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E. [A nice harmony] 18. Respect no authority. 19.
