Day in the Life: Marching Band

Reporters and videographers Justin Park and Emma Aikman got the inside look at what happens on a typical day of a marching band member.

That's true. As a freshman in Clear Brook High, I'm getting tired of holding a Sousaphone all day, going to bed, not having enough sleep, having shoulder pain. It's worth it, as we are tired, having the same routine all the time, as we don't have time to do any homework during the day, it is painful having to stand up for the whole school day.

You’re giving me very useful info for a freshman that’s gonna take marching band like tomorrow.
