Boy band class grooves into Grimsiey
By Corey Agraphy
Everybody’s doin ’ it!
Dante EUis is in tears. It’s less than
a week until the Honors Boy Band
Class will put on its first show, head
lining a concert at Grimsiey auditorium
featuring already established hit
groups such as “Orchestra,” and “Jazz
Band.”
Dante tries to explain his fmstration:
“First I had to learn how to sing, and
then I had to learn ho w to dance. ... and
now Mr. Vincozzi wants me to do them
both at the same time... for cry ing out
loud. I’m only human.”
The Grimsiey Boy Band started
when, due to the money created by
continually Jacking up the price for a
What’s more important to
the average 18 year old
guy: being able to play
some pansy-a** tuba, or
being able to make eight
year-old girls faint?

student parking sticker, the school
found itself with enough of a surplus
to start a new music program. At first,
music coordinator Tony Vincozzi toyed
with die idea of creating a class that
actually taught real music, but soon
changed his mind when he thought of
the children.
“So I figures to myself, what’s more
important to the average 18 year old
guy: being able to play some pansy-
a** tuba, or being able to make eight
year-old girls faint?’said Vincozzi, “If
this guy’s adolescence is anything like
mine was, it would be making the eight
year-old girls faint.” Tliis reporter did
not wish to inquire further into
Vmcozzi’s activities during his high
school years.
Under Vmcozzi’s direction, the
Grimsiey Boy Band has made incred
ible strides as a group; however, they
have not done so without facing some
criticism. Sophomore Trevor
McCalister spoke on that issue: “It
makes me so mad when people say
that aU we do in this class is make our
selves look pretty and dress up in ex
pensive clothes. . . What they don’t
understand is that we had to spend a
grueling two and a half days at the
beginning of the year actually learn
ing how to sing all our songs, before
we even started putting on our
makeup.”
And what a great bunch of songs it
is. Like any modem day pop group,
the Grimsiey boys have a repertoire
of extremely diverse songs, covering
a wide range of topics. To name a few
of these gems, one would most cer
tainly have to include “My heart was
made for your love,” “Every time you
show your love (I feel it in my heart),’ ’
and “A heart plus a heart (can only
equal love).”
Of course, any class like this one
cannot come without its share of con
troversy. On several occasions, a stu
dent has had to be kicked out of the
class because he finally hit puberty,
and his voice became so low that it
could no longer be confused with a
little girl’s.
And then tliere was the scandal of
Reggie Hutchinson. Reggie at one
time was the ideal boy band student,
at the head of his class. But Reggie
had some rebellious desires brewing
within him. Behind the back of
Vincozzi and fellow members of the
class, Reggie was secretly learning
to actually play an in.stmment for him
self, and even started to write his own
songs. Fortunately, Reggie’s wrong
doings were discovered, and he was
immediately removed from the class
and expelled from school.
Despite these setbacks, Grimsiey
Boy Band continues to roll along
smoothly. With all the attention and
acclaim it is drawing, there’s no ques
tion that this is no ordinary class. But
then again, these are no ordinaiy boys.
