Why Marching Band Could Be the Best Choice for Your Teen’s High School Journey BY VICTORIA MIKOTA PHOTO BY FREEPIK.COM
A s a freshman in high school, all I wanted was to fit into this new, overwhelming school. Its walls seemed to tower over me as soon as I walked into the building. I found my escape from the academic burnout, algebra woes, and homework pile-ups through joining color guard. Before being accepted into color guard, each participant was required to participate in a clinic where we would learn a short flag routine, flag drills, and show off our potential color guard prowess. After a week of rehearsing in my front yard, and lots of bruises later
(ouch), I was ready for tryouts, and to hopefully land a spot in the marching band.
