Marching Band does something for our community that almost every community needs in some form or another. Marching provides an afterschool experience for kids to keep them busy. It's an opprotunity for students to learn how to give their all for something as a team. They learn discipline by having to stand still and play only when they're told to. They learn how to respect adults and resond accordingly to what they're told to do. What I could give back to this marching band community would be to maybe go help at a school, like my former school, and just help run rehearsals. When I was in the group it made a huge difference to have people who graduated come back to help us during our rehearsal time to be even better. Later on in life if I ever have more money I could donate money to help marching bands with buying the things they need to grow and be the best they could. When I was in my high school band we had this incredible woman who was very wealthy who donated and payed for tons of things we needed. Because of her help, even though we were a public school, we had one of the absolute best music programs around!
