You're talking about the Jazz version of the fight song!!! Till this day that's a requirement to learn during crab week. I remember one time we had the whole student section singing it.

Nah PJ, not that version. We learned that as well. The version I am talking about was adding Chester White's name into it.......it was all about him. LOL. We didn't jazz it up. Straight to the regular style fight song. It was pure comedy. The upperclassmen taught it too us just to mess with Chester.

JR what was it like being in the Jukebox with Chester White there? I heard that he was the ultimate bandhead.

Man as a Juke you got to love some Chester White. While folks made fun of him, he was really good people and loved SU and New Orleans to death. He was the ultimate Juke. I remember one time we were on the field and the drummers were skating during a drill. Especially the Bass Drum section.....ole White rolled over there and told them to give a damn drum and he'll show you how to march with it. White strapped on that bass drum so fast and his tall skinny arse started marching 8 to 5 with high knee lifts and beating the hell out the drum at the same time. We were all like :eek: :eek: at White. He had my respect after that.

Chester was funny as hell. He would talk about your arse in a minute. My favorite line was when he came out of Doc's office...........he would say "The man told me" and go on with whatever the black man had said. Usually something ufcked up was the case. All I can say as a crab, not only did you have to deal with the upperclassmen to make it through. You had to pledge Chester White as well. He was the one who taught you the marching fundamentals during crab week. He would work our arse at high noon in that hot sun in BR. Hell I could on with countless Chester White stories. Many funnier than all get out. He was a true Juke.

Last one for you. We would tell Doc when he was on the podium.......Hey Doc .....Chester marched with you didn't he? Doc would fall off the damn podium and run into his office. It was in reference to Chester supposed to have marched like 10 years in the band or some isht like that. I'll tell the underbite story later. I am cracking up as I type. LOL

Yeah I asked my ni99a Mosquito about that. He crabbed in 85 and played mello. He sung that bi+[h fa me.:lol: I think it started like Cheeester Chester Chester Whiiiiite!!! Same rhythm as the original.
 
Point of clarification LB; the snares or the bass drummers must have been skating; T-Phi did not play that.

Also, two of my favorite Chester White moments. On the bus, someone would say something about/to Chester. His reply...."Bring yo arse on up here on a fast cadence". Also, as a crab, a horse told me to tell Chester good morning. Me: "Good Morning Mr. White, Sir." Chester's reply...."Get out my arse son!".....:lmao:

Man, we always picked Chester up for the. He'd be outside the doubletree like he was waiting for the city bus, then we would get there and he'd go upstairs with Doc, when we got to the dome for the BOTB he'd be looking at us like we were not worthy, and then when it was over he looked like he was not impressed, but when he got on the bus back to the Hotel he would give us a little clap.
 
Sorry to say this,but Chester got NO RESPECT back in the day..We loved ole Chester with all our heart,but we gave him a hard time..I remember one practice when Mr.T.Jackson and Dickey Wright got into a big @zz fight in the band room..We had some wild times back then..

LOL. He got no respect as well in the 80s but it was different. Yall 70's cats was on some other stuff. I was just telling Delfeayo Marsalis when he was up here in Minneapolis last week, how his brother Branford had us rolling about the stuff that went on in the band when he marched. Frat had us rolling at an alumni band practice one homecoming. Yall were some straight fools. I have experienced a "Bob" practice session.......so if he got into a fight with someone it was because he felt they messed over his music. LOL. I know he was infamous for throwing stands at people...

Doc did what?!!!! Boy times must have changed....Doc was too sced of the band to do some isht like that in the 80s. All them thugs....err......fellow bandsmen would have thrown that mouthpiece back at his arse. Other than curse our arses out, not feed us and zip mofos...I aint never seen him throw or hit anything. LOL. Now I would have paid to see that. I guess he had the upperclassmen to do all the hazing back in the day.
