Like most high schools around the country, my educational institution was filled with cliques and kids who fell into oft-used clichés. While most of us try not to classify people into one group or another, in high school that seems to be the M.O. We of course had the jocks, the cheerleaders and the preppy kids, but the one group that I seem to remember the most are the acoustic group.
These kids would tote their cheap acoustic guitars to school everyday and sit in the halls playing the same three songs over and over again. Although some of the musicians were truly talented, for every one person that was adept there were four who were atrocious. I have never been able to figure out what motivated these people to sit on the floor of the hall playing their guitars, but it is something that I will probably never forget.
