"Trombone players are known to be trend setters" This line made me chuckle. Rusty trombone ehh
I was a trombone player...number 10 of 12. Dude is right. The trombone section is the horne dawgs of the band. I 100% believe this story. The timing is about right. I kinda dropped out for awhile when Johnny left. We definitely were not wooing then. But in Peyton's heydays, there was definitely a woo in there.
I believe the trombone dude! Them spit valves were something else. Eight positions playing the bone. Number four was right by the horn as I recall

I wasn't saying he was lying, I was just messing with him. Did you play at UT?
Lord no...I played in middle school...lol! I was bad!
bad bad bad...never practiced...just wanted to be the band clown. I was actually on the football team so that knocked me out in football season. I was stage band or whatever....my mom made me do it
Yeah, mom made me learn that too...five years worth. The middle school football is the only thing that got me out of that. Same story, didn't ever practice, was terrible.
You seeing a pattern here?
Ok, hopefully for the last time.
I DID IT!!!! With help. I was in the Pride from 89-93. I and another trombone player started it as a joke. We only did it to mess around. Next thing you know the entire trombone section was doing it. It grew from there (trombone players are known to be trend setters).
I hope my posting history lends enough credibility to my claim so you guys know I wouldn't make this up. The other trombone player is now a pastor living in Colorado. We had no idea what it would grow into. Really, it started as a joke. We knew if J Julian (band director) ever heard us he would kill us.
For those who don't like it. Sorry. But, I don't think it's going away anytime soon.
Dang, someone beat me to it. So "Spit" was one of the main guys, huh?
92 was my first year obviously and was the cause for my nickname "Target".Ahhh, a former Pride member I see. Yes, it was actually "Spit" who really did it very first. We started doing consistently after he did it once and we kinda laughed about it.
To all, I'm not joking and I'm not lying. As I said, I understand that claiming to be one who started this would naturally draw some raised eyebrows. Considering how many on this board do not like the "woo" you can understand why I'm not on TV and radio making such claims.
Just trying to answer to OP's question. My best recollection is that we actually started doing it during the 92 football season. We were seniors so we were able to get away with more s***.
BTW, the "Spit" reference was the guy's nickname. He was from Celina, TN which sounds alot like saliva so everyone called him "Spit."
