With so many things advertised nowadays, there's a lot that's getting overlooked. Drumline and Marching Band is one of those things, but school music in general is rather ignored. High School sports are grand and all, but the music programs get no school coverage. Granted, a High School Marching Band gets ton of coverage just by walking through a parade, but how often does the school hear "Our Marching Band won _ at _"?
It doesn't matter whether or not they did, it's hardly ever announced or talked about by anyone not in the band. It's ridiculous. My High School in particular is ridiculous about it as well, and we've got a darn good Music program here. Every group went off to State, and what do we hear in the announcements? "The Football team lost another game."
It's grand.
That's it for my rant.
