QUARTZ HILL, Calif. (AP) -- Don't mess with the marching band. That's what California authorities are saying after a 17-year-old girl used her marching band baton to beat back two would-be muggers. ...one got a punch in the nose and the other a kick to the groin. ..."The moral to this story is don't mess with the marching band girls, or you just might get what you deserve. Final score: marching band 2, thugs 0."
