Famous movies‚ like American Pie‚ make it hard for band members to express to the world all of the great things that marching band has to offer. It is hard for most to look past the stereotypical marching band geek and envision the advantages of being in marching band. There were many times when I would begin

The Wars and Band of Brothers A war is a historical event that has the ability to change a person ’s life both positively and negatively. Ironically‚ during the months preceding both World War One and World War Two‚ for many men the opportunity of going overseas to prove themselves worthy as men was rarely refused.
