Marching Bands

For some students, the marching band is more than people shuffling around in formation, blowing horns and dancing. It is a chance to travel, chance to earn scholarships to college and an opportunity to learn about yourself. The marching band is an escape from parents and the rest of the world.

I'm not from Pompano which is in Broward county. I'm from Miami but I know Pompano has always been a black neighboorhood and Blanche Ely has always been a black school. Do I think this band is the best nope however, when it comes to the size this band has over 200 band members. In closing I'd like to say in Florida bands especially in black neighboorhoods band has helped these kids. While they could be out doing other things to destroy their lifes band takes that away.

@LightingWolfAirsoft Thing is some flute players horn angle aren't parallel to the ground and the pencil won't fall out. I'm always getting yelled at by my band director for having my flute point upwards.

I agree with prettycookies12, for our flutes we put a pencil in the end of their flute, and if it falls out it's not parallel :)

[prettycookies12]

the flute player was holding her flute really low....

#1 marching band flute rule is : HOLD YOUR FLUTE PARALLEL TO THE GROUND!

@penguinseth crop band....way to go, you pointed out my mistake. FAMU has been called americas band by pretty much every news station that covered a story on them. when was the last time a news station covered your fav band? their called america's band because thats how the world saw them as, a little piece of OUR heritage. yea thats right, they travel the world because they get invited. dont even ask where they have been.
