And the Band Played On

There was an incident at our school last week, where a 20-year-old man hit a counselor with a skateboard, stole her car, and led a 20-mile high speed chase until he crashed into another car. Uh, drugs, you think? Frank says the perp was in his high school class, but he didn't know the guy personally.

The school had a rare lockdown. (There was only one other lockdown in my memory, about 5 years ago.) Rumor has it the English teacher punched the guy...

Ernest says that after the custodians locked the band room doors, the band played on. Well, what else should a band do? Think of the Titanic.

Geez. That's hardcore. Still, I like that the band played. It's good that this dangerous incident had a soundtrack.

Holy Moses. I hardly know what to say.

But I do wonder WHAT the band played.
