Ashley, you brought back memories. I was in marching band throughout high school. I actually started marching as an eighth-grader.
I can relate to all of your points. I was first chair in the alto saxophone section and led that group. We had so much fun.
I came from a small school, less than 400 but there were 90 of us in band.
Thanks for jogging my memories. Great to connect with you hear in Illumination.
