I am glad to know that you are a musician for Sony if that's what you enjoy. I hope you are equally as much of an advocate for your private lesson instructor who deserves more credit than anyone since it appears your livelihood doesn't come from being a marching band director. You had to desperately dig deep, like you did with the "obese" statement, to formulate your unfounded assessment that I am bitter. I call it like I see it FROM EXPERIENCE! Nothing is an attack but rather it is TRUTH!

@asneMMan Well, you dont sound too bitter at all. Im am not a drone, but I give respect where it is due. Why is everything an attack with you. You sound like an angry man with issues. I also played in wind ensemble, and he was good at that too. I also joined the Marines after college, and can see where he comes from. A little discipline never hurt anyone. And your last line sounds like an insult toward me. I play professionally now at Sony. How is that mediocre?

Because I try not to live a life of regret, it's really a waste of time to think about the "what if's" that are all confined to the past. I do recognized that the band has experienced tremendous growth and more exposure. NONE of that was done under the arrogance and ego of JTS. It is up to the music department to determine the direction of the marching band program. You should also remember that mb is NOT the only aspect of instrumental music education. That is the problem I saw at MTSU.
This is not high school-ish, I would have loved to play something like this in high school! It has been said that the drumline needs work as well but you're listening to a video with bad sound, anotherwords, there is nothing wrong with the drumline. Don't put down a band just because it's not YOUR band, we're all good....seriously, grow up...you can have pride while also maintaining a certain level of class, it's not that hard...try it!

Let's be fair here, I have yet to see a great technical program with 300+ people on the field. I also doubt that many of the band members at Knox Central High have a job, or an apartment, own a car in their name, can tell me how much their insurance premium is, have a credit card, or have ever taken loan out for something they want. As you can see, when people grow up, time becomes a premium.
