Andre S Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 So a friend and I went to talk the the vice principal at school and she in turn talked to the prinicipal ( she was easier to find) and he will tell us tomorrow if we have the auditorium every friday for guitar club. We also asked about a locked room for everyone to keep their gear in till the lunch time. However I still don't feel comfortable leaving my gibson there for the day and it will be a slight bother to carry around to my different classes. I will leave my amp there but the guitar will be a problem and I really don't want it to get stolen (duh). On the plus side we arranged for a drummer to come and play along on the school's drum kit, and we have at least 30 guitarists who usually come , but this time in an auditorium, where the capacity is 1500 ( around.)

retrosurfer1959 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 It's always about something isn't it? By 1978 when I was in H.S. hair was a non-issue I had a ponytail almost to my belt and nobody cared except the football coach who groused all the time and told me I could not play with long hair even then until I said OK I'd rather surf anyway and the rules were changed. They required the ponytail to be inside of my uniform shirt and pads but that was all but I was still expelled twice for improper footwear and torn jeans. Now it's ok too barely pull your pant's up if your a guy and girls barely cover their rear ends in school and corporate america still fights over tattoo's and piercing so who knows what's next?

DanvillRob Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Dude!! I remember getting detention from the old "collar checks". I am VERY glad school has changed. If it was different maybe I would have stayed. Brian I started High School in Sept. 1963. We couldn't wear Levi's, HAD to wear a belt, no boots, we even had a girl who was forced to cut her hair! By my Junior year, I ran into the trouble in the articles. I showed up the first day of school and was promptly kicked out. Was out for almost 2 months. The State of California pulled my theatrical permit, (necessary to be on stage after 10 PM when you're under 18), so I was forced to cut my hair, get back in school, and reapply for the permit. But I learned that it's not what happens to you, but what you do about what happens to you that matters in this life. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I had the "longest hair," on a guy, in my High School graduatuing class, (Class of '68) and was suspended for 3 days, because of it. (See below) LOL!! The following year, they suspended the "dress code!" CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Gee but you guys are young.... <grin> Yeah, were today's local high school senior class to walk into the high school of my first two years, they'd all be sent home. But then - so would all the teachers. <grin> That's both on clothing codes as well as hair. As for the high school of my final two years - it was coat and tie daily, seven days a week. Nobody even thought about hair longer than a DA. And... if you don't know what a DA haircut is... <grin> Gee, you're young. O tempora! O mores! ("Ah, the times, ah, the customs."

DanvillRob Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 The following year' date=' they suspended the "dress code!" CB[/quote'] I think they suspended the dress code the same year as your school...but of course by then I was out of school! Man...I sure hope you still have that Ric......

My son goes to small high school their club has around 6 or 7 players. They meet right after school, for an hour or so. We had the same issue as you're having. Our town has no school busses kids either walk/ride/skate/carpool or parents drive them to school. My wife usually drops off and picks up my son (we're about a mile away from the school). I don't want to start a riot (not sure what your folks' situation is) but, based on the experiences of my older 2 sons sports equipment walking away from "locked rooms", we decided that we'd drop off his guitar and amp after school...

Basshole Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hey Jesus had long hair, and if we were created in his image, then... Jesus was also persecuted for being different. I guess I am not so different after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
