We played PV for there homecoming in 2005-we had more fans there.
Last PV game I was at--last year playoff game vs. Clintwood--at some points it seemed like me and Chris Kelly were the only ones yelling for the team.

We need more cowbell
They're the best at walking out of a game and leaving your team with 2 minutes left down by one with two timeouts. Just like last night.
As for the Dickenson Co. bands, they weren't cut because of a lack of interest. The last band I remember Clintwood having had a decent amount of participation. I'd say 30+. The school board made the decision based solely on money.

At Burton a lot of us weren't the coolest kids in the halls by any means, but the band never got ridiculed like they apparently did when I talked to people from other schools. I always felt like our athletes, especially the football team would be pretty supportive of us - even telling some us they loved it whenever we played certain songs and how much it pumped them up. I remember my 7th grade year when we won the Lonesome Pine Band competition, we had fans rolling out to football games just to see the band at halftime.
It's sad when you look at the situation across the county b/c when you'd talk to some of the old timers the LPD used to have days of big bands and whoa could you imagine that kind of atmosphere - it must have been like a college football games back then. </div></div>
What year did you graduate?
But Yeah I rememeber a couple of times the band playing for us at practice. Of course it was certain songs, but it was cool. Also whoever made the comment about Burton having football players and cheerleaders in the band, well we always have had that. Is Stewart still the band director there?
Bud is still the director at JIB
Damn, Ole Bud has been there forever!
indeed he has! I want to say since the late 80s perhaps. I think Mr. Tipton was the director there in about 1985..
Tipton left after my first year, so about 88, Mr. Stewart has been there ever since.

This was not always the case when Tipton was Director there weren't any football players marching in the band, I believe this came about when Stewart took over. When I was in school ( I am showing how old I am) you had to make a choice either football, cheerleading, or band...I think it's great they allow the kids to do more than one if they choose.
