[Rebels1972] Emma Sansom Marker

[Tony Nichols]

I thought that Emma Sansom was all about the band and that football games
were just something they had to give the band a chance to perform. I can
remember a couple of good football plays but I don't ever remember Emma
Sansom having a State ranked football team, much less any kind of national
ranking.  However, the cheerleaders were pretty cool.  Weren't the coaches
kinda like extra disciplinarians who carried a big paddle to scare us into
good behavior?  

That DVD must be pretty boring if it doesn't have any mention of the band.
The band gave the school all the national recognition that it ever got.  I
guess I'm surprised too>

Fred,
I've never heard of Social Cir, Ga.   The marker is puzzling to me and 
doesn't make sense. I'm sure there is history behind it.
I just received my Sansom Block Party DVD. It was nearly 1-1/2yrs in the
making and I really don't know why.
  It covered the Ala City and Emma Sansom history quite well.  I was very
disappointed that the band history was not covered at all. A few statements 
were made and that was it.    The sports history was covered and coaches 
were interviewed.
Being a band member, I felt somewhat "let down."

Susan
