You said that right. The band can not exists without supportive parents. My kids were both in-band at the same time in two different school districts. Our household schedules were crazy, but we supported whatever they wanted to do for extra-curricular activities. So glad they attended the same college though--one trip each Fall to see them play at Tuskegee, those Marching Crimson Pipers!

I am not actually sure whether his name is John or justin, but I must say that he is very talented. It can't hurt that his assistants are equally as talented as he is. This band of young people from the horns, to the percussion, the color guards, ect all show forth excellence. That shows a great leader. Applause, applause. For the whole program.

Justin Heideman -- I think that's how you spell his last name

[@RoyalFizzbin]

The band is really good. The drum majors are next level though, and not just the white kid. Someone needs to do the drum line a favor and tune their snares; they are in sync, but you would never know it because they’re tuned too loose.

[@Poet4Him]

I have seen some negative comments about Justin leading this team but I do believe he earned his place. Black or white he is talented and he always gives credit to his team. One band, one sound.

Just keeping it real, his name is Justin, not white boy. Please try to understand my point.

[@southernman5839]

You got to be athletic to do what those drum majors do.

[@rhondamolix-bailey9743]

Band is a sport. And in Texas, it is a BIG and serious sport. Big money and time goes into band programs and just think about the students, they are athletes who speak a second language -- they hear, play, and read notes and other music notation. These are smart, do it all kids! Most kids in band are also excellent students. In Texas, kids have the same eligibility requirements for all extracurricular activities so they have to keep their grades up.
