Marching Band Overdose
Friday, October 30th, 2009As I was reading the news today I ran across an interesting story. It was all about a marching band that is the largest in the country. The band hails from a Texas school called Allen High School. It fields 527 musicians, plus a drill team with 72 members and a color guard of 39. It is now the largest regularly performing marching band in the U.S.
It’s really good news to hear that so many kids are interested in music. I wish I could hear the band play sometime as I imagine the noise must raise the dead. I would also like to see the 18 buses they use for road trips lined up. That must be a heck of a sight! I say good luck Allen High and Godspeed!
