Band is awesome. In most sports, only the best get the spotlight, but in band you are never benched! Everyone contributes to creating something greater than any individual. You also get the chance to play individually as a soloist and compete against other musicians all the way to the state level if you want to. Whether you would rather blend in with the crowd or take center stage, there is a place for you in band.
