Meyer, being a percussionist himself, has many tales of mischief from his years of participation. “After a season of marching band was over, [...] we would have a stick throwing competition at the end of the season and we would see who could chuck our sticks the farthest across the football field.”](https://bearingnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/JoMeyerPhoto1-300x200.jpg)
