Schools is starting for us tomorrow. It can be a scary time for all students involved from the freshman to the senior. The freshman is coming from middle school in to the world of high school and the senior is looking forward to graduation and entering the world. Being a part of something is an easy way to alleviate some of the anxiety. Being a band director, of course, I am going to push the marching band. Being a part of the marching band you have a built in family within the school. Band members look out for each other and take care of their own. In my experience growing up the band room was always a safe haven to go to and escape the stresses of the day. I was with my friends and with others that were band "nerds" like me. In band I developed friendships that have lasted for a life time. So as the school year starts, Keep Calm and Carry On or as drummers say Keep Calm and RLRR LRLL.
