<TazShelley@-----.com> > I believe in Marching Band being a mandatory part of
the band experience. > It's part of a well rounded program. We'll have to
agree to disagree here, then. There isn't anything that will convince me in
having marching band a mandatory program in school. I learned to march in
the service, and having that skill has not helped me at all in my life.

-----------------------------------

Not trying to defend marching band in the least, as I feel it is a waste of
practice time for the serious musicians, but if they didn't require
marching band - they would not have most of the quality musicians in the group.
Maybe that is how it should be - doubt the jocks would notice the
difference ;)
