It appears that David Armstrong, previously known as "Lance" Armstrong, is really more like "Louis" Armstrong.
David Jones was not able to participate in the marching band at Bearden High School because David Armstrong (pictured back row top right) took the ninth and final spot in the Clarinet section of the prestigious Bearden High School Marching Band. According to past band members, Jones would have been next in line if Armstrong had not been in the competition for the coveted spot.
This explains why Jones has insisted that the "7 Fat Guys" not work out with the advanced group as past wounds take time to heal.
