Hi, new to the boards here. Looks like everyone is enjoying a great football season, especially in Bellville :) My concern is the high school band bashing that I see going on. It appears that it's mainly other high school students that are so incredibly hateful toward the school bands. I've read all the arguments and yes yes yes.. people are there to watch a football game.. yet.... this is our high school, these are your friends and classmates. Is it so hard to see that the more kids that are involved in one aspect of the school or another, will only strengthen everyone’s ability to succeed.
I am no longer in school, matter of fact I even have kids who have graduated from Bellville already. My oldest son is a current member of the A&M Band and I can assure you that being a contributing member has helped to make him a more complete person.
Can you not try and support those who are so willing to support your efforts. The band and drill team students and parents put in countless hours to help make the football season successful. And yes.. success is measured within the whole community, not just a single football game.
