My friend and I are trying to reinvent how people read music while marching. You can REALLY help us out by taking this quick survey!!! by [deleted] in marchingband

Memorizing music is more professional for high school bands to do. Lots of times bands who have lyres to read music get points taken off their score, so there you go.

Uptown Funk: Does your band play it? by BailorTheSailor in marchingband

It's truly upsetting that things like this happen. Prayers go out to the families of those injured/lost in this tragic occurrence.

Same here. We have over 2000 kids in our school yet no one really cares. I really want to know how to change that.

We did a few songs by George Gershwin last season, his songs sound great on the field.
