[quote=Anonymous]I am from CT- someone else posted the MD thing. I don’t mean antics from the kids- I mean the school. Making it a fall sport by starting August 3rd. The popular but not musically complex pieces along with themes, props, etc. Marching band music in high school is fun and loud but it’s not like a trip to the symphony. Tag day, perfectionism on uniforms, 3 competitions in the fall, travel competitions, extra rehearsals, earning a t-shirt by memorizing your music, challenging another student to move up a chair, having to be in marching band even if it takes away your summer to relax or work to make money for college or work an internship….. All so they can have one more trophy and one more year where they get the top scores. It’s about the band teachers. Not about the kids. If it’s not obvious, I have one band kid and one orchestra kid. Orchestra is a much kinder, supportive, classically minded experience. [/quote]
