Today we congratulate and welcome thewho to the exclusive HR 1000 Posts Club!! It’s not really all that exclusive but hey, it’s a club. 🤪
I think it’s probably safe to say that thewho has been around band forums longer than a good number of us, having begun posting on the now defunct IndianaMarching.com as “muse” and eventually as “thewho” which was also his moniker on the old BOA forums. He went to high school on the South side of Indy and got involved with the wider band world when his school hosted ISSMA. He later moved to Fort Wayne IN and finished out his high school band career there. But he wasn’t done with band! thewho actually began volunteering for the Indy SR and for GN, and eventually even joined the BOA staff. He says that he is actually much more proud of his volunteer/staff history than anything else. And even though he now resides in the greater Atlanta area, he is still very active as a BOA staffer at competitions around the country.
Here are a few fun facts you might not know about thewho :
- He has never actually marched in a BOA event.
- You can often find him either running or attending a concert.
- He’s a massive bagel snob and claims that Indy has a “pretty decent bagel scene” and says he was insufferable about moving away from all that until finding a pretty decent NY bagel place. Oh, and he says chocolate chips don't belong in bagels. (I agree completely 🤣).
- Last but not least, he says that you shouldn’t give him Dot's Pretzels or Jelly Belly Jellybeans. Like ever. Evidently he can completely devour those, no matter the size of the bag, and has suffered the consequences of that before. (I can totally relate to those darn Dot’s Pretzels! 😅😅).
Well now y’all know just a little bit more about our newest member of the 1000 Post Club. I’ve had the honor of hanging out with (and having deep band conversations with 😁) him many times over the past few years and he’s as nice in person as you would imagine him to be. There’s also a good chance you have seen him at work if you’ve ever attended certain BOA events! Hopefully we will continue to see him doing what he loves for many years to come! Welcome to 1000 thewho !
