My Experience In "Leader Of The Band".

In November, 1986, I was proud to be in the final part of this great movie-"Leader Of The Band". I was "very plump" in those days and was dressed in my "Henry Grady High School Band Booster Look", which consisted of an official T-shirt, jeans, shakers, painter's cap and sneakers. If you watch the movie, look for me real hard, because the final scene was filmed at Grady Stadium here in Atlanta, Georgia USA and listen for my cute, squeeky voice saying that immortal line: "What's Going On here?!? What's Going On?!?" Betsy Goodrich is the actress and singer who currently plays the role of Danger Woman, The Karaoke Crimefighter. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia, USA

We we're there!

My family was extras in this movie and it was a lot of fun. My two kids attended Lassiter High School in Marietta, GA and the Lassiter band was featured in the movie. In between takes Steve Landesberg would come to the front of the bleachers and entertain us. They also had drawings so we could win merchandise..we won an orange jumpsuit and a bottle of Bullseye BBQ sauce. We were told out of all the scenes they may have gotten 5 minutes of things they could use. It was a great experience.

Lot of Atlanta Locals in this movie

It's a clean movie and was fun to be in. Lassiter High School played the majority of the parts--both the "Big, Good band" which the "bad news bears" type of band was trying to beat--our dress uniforms had "L"'s that dropped off the cummerbund in those days, hence the name: Larchmont. . . all the scenes I worked on were at Oglethorpe or St. Pius--not Grady but I'm sure they did scenes there too.

One of the LHS drum majors was featured in the film which was fun. . . he was a character on the "bad band" side. . . It reads "Jess Sisk" as Maddog but it should be JEFF SISK. . . it's a guy. And his name is Jeff.

I remember hanging out with Fred Wilbur who is also in this movie (Not just Steve Landisburg) and he was very sweet!

It's certainly worth a watch, especially if you grew up in East Cobb county and/or went to Lassiter in 1986/87
