Scenes from the Model High School Band Party, December 17, 1985 (7:30)
An edited selection of scenes from the Model High School Band Christmas Party, December 1985. Watch as band members react to seeing a videocamera for the first time! See Mr. Stephens completely lose control of the party as band members wander onto the freshly waxed auditorium stage! Feel the testosterone as Joe Ballew abuses as many guys as he can get his hands on! Witness some of the most embarassing sing-a-longs of all time! This is a completely new edit and has never been released. Director commentary forthcoming. NOTE: This is a 10 megabyte file, so dialup users take note.
