Have you ever -- or know anyone who -- been in a marching band?
When I was in the 7th grade I was part of the high school marching band which is an instrumental musicians group that marches while entertaining.
What instrument?! And did you continue playing?
I was part o the woodwinds instrumentation but I quit after middle school.
I find it fascinating how musical training at a young age often has a positive impact on other learning -- especially mathematics. Was that your experience?
I don't think it had a significant effect on my life. Marching bands are categorized by size, age, gender, instrumentation and their style of march. This really didn't change my life.
No great uniforms?! (Ha!) What were your school colors?
Although most marching bands wear a uniform that reflects the schools colors, ours did also but the HAT just had to go.
