But on the other hand, the Glee kids actually can sing. *muses* It's probably a lot easier to tell if someone's faking playing an instrument than if they're lipsynching. (My musical background, briefly: started piano at age four, kept up with that until about 17, started band in fourth grade and stayed in it until last year. Also did orchestra (on flute) and jazz band.)
From what I remember, the real drama happened with the musical theatre kids, but my band tended towards relatively laid back because we didn't have the opportunity for much intensity. From what I've heard from kids who went to schools where the bands were much more intense, well, the drama was strong with them. *grins*
My high school was -- we were a 2A school, graduating about 200, and still the biggest thing in the county. (Like I said to sporky_rat up above, the next biggest school graduates about 40, and the smallest graduates 2/3.) I'm relatively certain the bigger, richer schools in the next county over, and the ones in the cities (I feel like such a country girl right now) were much more impressive.
Oh, yeah! Crazy drama on trips = awesome. Maybe next season? I mean, come on, band trips were insane, and we were relatively tame. There's a story about a couple of the sophomore boys from our Disney trip (two occasions when we actually got the money to go somewhere, Disney and All-Northwest) trying to make popcorn by lowering the bag out the window onto the big heat lamps on the roof of the hotel (or something) with dental floss.
I keep getting the feeling that no one who's involved with that show actually has any idea of how high school functions. Or cares. *sighs*
