No offense to anyone. But personaly I believe that the crabs are a reflection of the upperclassmen who govern them.
Now just about in every crab class there is one who is weak and doesn't belong in the band, but I feel that you can make them quit without even trying to "motivate" them. All you have to do is get in that head. You can either make them stronger or make them quit. You should have been there the first day of Band Camp in 96. I swear we only got 10 hours of sleep that whole week, and the upperclssmen hadn't even made it yet. Weaklings were dropping like flies.
