Don’t we have a music school? Most high schools have a real band.

they need new. New music and coordination. Cant have some 2 bit band in the new arena. Time to catch up to the 21st century. And more drums! Less brass.

Okay I don’t want to be that person but I will. Surely they knew they needed a new pep leader before September. So who is going to recruit kids to play in the band now. Sometimes I just shake my head at this school. Home Football season starts in a couple of weeks. It’s not like you can actually hear them playing at football.

Looking at the job requirements it’s a part time position that surely could have been filled in May or June. And when has that band ever had 50-75 members. Not since they axed the marching band.

Going back to a discussion of 15 years ago. Axing that marching band was plain silly.

Oh I can’t agree more.

Agree with both you guys and it was nice having the marching band at the football games.I like the pep band but doesn't work well for football
