Yup, Our HS band - Marcus HS, is one of the best around but so are a few others around here. I have actually gone to HS football games just to watch the band shows. These kids practice year round and more then any team. The dedication goes beyond anything I have ever witnessed. For evey spot on the field there are 2 to 3 kids waiting to fill in the spot if the 1st ones get bumped - then they have to earn it back. I think its amazing = no gimmes, you earn the right. You have to prove your worth every week. These kids all do really well in school as well and rarely get into any trouble.
Some parents complain about the long hours and the 'stress' but no one is got a gun to their head. This is what it takes to be one of the best bands in the nation.
I approve.
