Marching Band. We were surprised when our cello playing son announced that he was going to play the drums in the marching band. I knew nothing about marching band and was disappointed at my first performance that they didn't spell anything! After  8 years and two kids through the program, I learned a lot. Mostly, I learned that marching band was a terrific group for my kids to hang with and they made long lasting friendships. Don and I would also form close friendships with the other band parents. It was a great experience and at times I thought that the parents were having more fun than the kids! Tonight, some of us former band parents had a small reunion. Luckily, the restaurant put us in the back room because it turned out to be a boisterous yet enjoyable event! It was wonderful to catch up on things and find out how our now 20 something's are doing.
