From Quartz Hill, California, comes a report that two muggers bit off more than they could chew last Friday.
A 17-year-old high school marching band student beat up two assailants who tried to mug her as she walked to school in this high desert community about 40 miles north of Los Angeles, sheriff’s officials said Tuesday.
The girl punched one of the men in the nose, kicked the other in the groin and beat both with her large baton before she ran away on Friday morning, officials said.
“The moral to this story is don’t mess with the marching band girls, or you just might get what you deserve,” said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Michael Rust.
He said two men approached the girl from behind, grabbed her coat and demanded money. Deputies searched near Quartz Hill High School for the muggers, looking for a man who was holding his bloodied nose and the other limping.
No arrests have been made, but Rust said it appears the girl made her point to her assailants.
“Final score: Marching band 2, thugs 0,” Rust quipped.
Good for the young lady! Let’s hope she sees those two again, this time while accompanied by the rest of the marching band. Why should she have all the fun to herself?

I hope they have a very large percussion section!

Having grown up in the Antelope Valley (which Quartz Hill is part of), I just have two things to say:
Way to go, and they know how to raise them tough out there in the desert.
