Talk:Plymouth-Canton Marching Band

message: I agree with the comments below. I went to Canton High and I was in the band and I remember the band teachers talking about how they recruited students from other districts. This article helps them recruit and should be deleted.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.194.147.135 (talk) 06:13, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deletion 

message: A few of the descriptions of the shows are written as though they came directly from a band parent's mouth. Remember, this is an encyclopedia! Plesae fix the descriptions so that they are neutral.
Actually, many of them are directly from the PCMB webpage.
I don't know how to put a copyvio for only a specific section.

I deleted the descriptions of the shows.  No real way to make them *neutral*. Any objection to template removal? -John 22:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This page has already been up for deletion. You're blatant attempts to undermine it because of your prejudice are also against Wikipedia policy. I know that you are NOT a member of the band, because you CANNOT recruit people from other districts, that is against Band and district policies. In addition, the page is NOT one big advertisement for a few reasons: It is a sourced page documenting the bands achievements and accomplishments, many of which have paved the way for bands around the country. It passes the notability rules with it's sources, and has been a LEADER in music education for years. It's alumni are around the country using their experiences to enhance children's educational experience, and may have helped someone YOU know.
Also, how can you argue it's helping to recruit??? That is so outrageous I'm in disbelief. Who looks on Wikipedia to decide what district to go to school in? Maybe we should delete the Detroit Piston's page because it documents their achievements and unfairly brings players to Detroit! Besides, I have never, in my time in the marching band world (I am an active instructor and music student) heard of a person moving to Plymouth just to be in band. 
Unfortunately, you cannot enjoy the achievements of a group of hardworking kids, and instead are looking to advance your own agenda. Refusetobesilenced (talk) 04:18, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sorry, but... 

message: I apologize for having an opinion. It was my mistake to think that it was acceptable to believe something different than someone else and voice that belief. I am fully aware of the fact that it is against district rules to recruit kids from other districts, but just because something is against the rules doesn't mean it never happens; I vividly remember Marc Whitlock talking about how the band was able to convince students from other districts to come to P-CEP just for the marching band. Also, don't use all capital letters in your writing; you already sound pretentious enough as it is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.194.147.135 (talk) 01:46, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Calm down 

message: Hey man, I'm a rookie for the Pistons, Walter "Sharpie" Sharpe and I have to agree with you, Nawsum526, the Pistons wikipedia page basically is a "recruiting" tool. It does showcase our achievements over the years and paints the organization in a positive light. Because of it, many players want to play for the Pistons. Oh wait, we're a professional team who have a front office whose primary responsibility is to try and get players to play for our team. We also pay our players to come to Detroit because that is what a professional organization does. You go to an effin' high school, man so get over your little poser-filled marching band. You are obviously on this high school band and my little cuz Mikey goes to Canton and tells me that you are all a bunch of egotistical spoiled public school, wannabe-something-great-but-not-fly-enough-to-be-great suckers. Wise up, man.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.194.147.52 (talk) 20:55, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not going to argue this with you. I can tell by your ip your the same person editing from the same place. I don't really understand your motives, but I encourage you to join wikipedia, get a user name, and start working on these pages. I, as well as many others, worked to make this page up to the standards of wikipedia. It was already nom. for deletion, but didn't get deleted because many people felt they were a notable group. And, no, i'm not in high school. This is the last I will say on the issue. Thank you for taking an interest in wikipedia! Refusetobesilenced (talk) 02:28, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
