[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tough titties to those of you who balk at your kid having to do marching band. It is a way to ensure that kids are committed to both bands. Many kids think band is something they can skip out on. If you're serious about symphonic band, you would do marching band. Marching band is treated like a varsity sport. It requires mandatory commitment. I think what the previous WL band director did was brilliant! Win-win because both bands were great![/quote] I did marching band and every possible band option available at the time (chamber orchestra, jazz, pit, etc) and I still think it's crap that APS forces kids to do marching band. Marching band is like a varsity sport that requires commitment - that is a very different beast than performing in an orchestra. Why force that on anyone?[/quote]
