Yoi hear the refrain: “Kids are
lazy. Kids are getting fat. Our kids
just don't have anything to do."
Maybe that’s true of some kids, but
not of the 30-some young men and
women who’ve been toiling
around the track and various ball
fields in Greyhound Holler the last
two weeks.
If you live within a mile or two,
you've heard them between 8 a m.
and 2 p.m. Cadence after cadence,
hour after hour. Through temperate
mornings and early in the broiling
afternoons, the boomers, tappers,
snappers, crashers and bangers of
the Statesville Greyhound
Marching band drum line have
gone around and around and
around and around under the eye
of Statesville Band Difector Jamie
Kincaid.
