Every year in band, we hear stories of incoming freshmen who quit band before they get to experience high school band. Citing reasons such as, Band is “too much of a commitment” when dealing with AP courses, sports, and work, wonderful musicians quit. It’s a tragedy to see such wonderful minds and beautiful people not flourish in an environment they can grow in. While I know it’s not the case for all bands, my band worked around everyone, so we had cheerleaders, football players, track, swim, debate, student council, the top 4 students in the school, etc. Band was and still is something special to us. And we wanted to make people get that.
So here it is. Our senior gift: a video that will hopefully make people reconsider before dropping band from their lives. Please reblog and share if you can. Band is special. We want to make sure people realize what they’re missing out on.
