That is awesome…..we had great experiences with marching band 😀😀Kaleb is smart to stick with the band! Not so hard on the body and he will have loads of fun on trips, in parades, etc. And there are not usually too many trombone or low brass players, so hope he sticks with it!! We had so much fun just being band parents and Booster President (for longer than the kid was in the band!!).
The marching band was a lot more physically demanding than we expected it to be too
Indeed….and playing music also helps the brain!

Y’all know Kaleb wrestles at school but he is also in the band in middle school. He had thought about playing football when he went to high school next year but he has decided to join the marching band instead of football and still wrestle. I am excited for him to be in the marching band. He plays trombone.
That is awesome…..we had great experiences with marching band 😀😀Awww. Our high school doesn't have a marching band. I am hoping there will be one at some point soon, though. The middle school has an amazing music teacher, and the band is huge. Maybe the high school will have enough band students to start a marching band. I can't believe Little Bit will be in high school next year.
I love the band and marching band especially. I wish they still had majorettes at the high school. We tried to get it started back when my daughter was there but there wasn’t anyone to coach them. They had plenty of girls that wanted to be on the team but it didn’t make it.

I know I agree with you Jet. He is really good playing too and the band direction at the high school wants him really bad. The 8th grade band got to play with the high school band at Friday nights football game and several of the band member told him they wanted him to join.
That’s awesome….so excited for him
