Analysis of A Football Game in Canton, Ohio



The marching band
was coming off the field
after the game, a
member playing the
big base drum hard
turn to the crowd
and made an angry
face as he kept
playing and marching
off.  His team lost
tonight he was hurt
and smarting with embarrassment, but
his high school was
still in the run
for the state play offs.
