lzzoso Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 i went to a co-ed public high school, and really had an enjoyable time there. made some life-long friends that i still keep in touch with ( facebook is great for that ). it was in a high school music lesson that i tried to introduce the class to led zep. we had to choose a band and give a talk on them, and play some of their music. at that time i was about 15, and really knew very little about the band, i just knew that i loved the music! so i had this huge poster of robert that had some info on the back ( it was actually like a fold out mini magazine . ), so i read from it and then put the poster up on the blackboard and playeed them trampled underfoot, kashmir and stairway ( we had limited time ). they all just sat there stunned! we had a 10, 20 and 30 year reunion ( i left in 1978 ). at the 10 year one i was 8months pregnant with my first child, so couldn't drink, but still really enjoyed seeing everyone again. at the 20 year one i was divorced and had left the area, so again, it was great to catch up with everyone. at the 30 year one, i was single and got talking to an old classmate, who told me that an old flame of mine was also single ( his older brother ) ..... and we got in contact again and we are now engaged and living together! so, now i advise people to attend reunions .... you never know what can happen! Congratulation on your engagement! I have similiar experience about picking a band and having to talk about them and playing a couple of songs from them. However, this happened when I was in the 7th grade. Our music teacher put our music class into groups and we as a group had to choose a band. The 3 other guys and me chose AC/DC. This was an assignment so we had about a week or so to do our research and bring the tapes of the 3 songs we intended to play. Of course this was so long ago I do not remember what we actually said about them other than that we liked them and their music. What makes this story funny (at least for me) was when we played the first song. We had chosen to play "Big Balls" from the album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Needless to say that the class never got to hear the whole song. About a minute or so into the song, the teacher ordered us to turn it off. I remember that some of the other guys in the class were laughing but the girls really seemed either shocked or stunned. The teacher (an older female probably in her late 40's back then) was outraged (as I guess she had the right to be). We had to apologize to all the girls in the class and obviously we all got an "F" for our assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
