To stay in the game, theplayers must keep their spork in one of theirhands at all times throughout the day.If a player is caught without their spork byanother player, they are eliminated from thegame. To keep track of who is still playing,a list is posted in the band room.Whoever wins gets the money the playerspaid to play. Junior Mira Prabhakar hasplayed the spork game the past two years.It sounded like fun so I thought, Whynot, Prabhakar said.story and photo / Jessie GrubbLast year she got fourth place, and thisyear she was part of a four way tie.I never forgot to bring my sporks with mebecause I kept them in my backpack, but Idid walk into the band room in the morninga few times without my sporks, she said.The game lasted from mid-August to earlyNovember. No one was eliminated forawhile, so they started a new rule wherethey had to have a spork in each hand.Learning how to write with a spork in myhand was interesting, Prabhakar said.When the marching band season ended,the remaining four players decided to endthe game and split the money.We each got a small plaque with agolden spork on it, Prabhakar said.146/
