Well, maybe I shouldn't say "former," cause once a band geek, ...
Anyways.
I've graduated from high school and am in college now (retired from marching), but I still love everything about the culture.
I played the trumpet and the baritone for 7 years, and in my last year I was section leader, in (proudly) one of California's best marching bands: Arcadia High School.
Just saying hi. I'll be fairly active on these boards, as I'm still a musician, and have a lot of experience with Saturday tourneys and endless rehearsals, in a super-competitive environment.
Looking forward to yamming it up with y'all!

Sweet! Another brass playa - *high fives*
I play trombone in what you could call one of the smallest bands in a neighboring state ;D
And Arcadia... wow...

Welcome *Lick* as stickyshifty warned we lick newbies here.
I don't have the heart to retire from marching yet... and it keeps me out of "human performance" courses. I'll have to ask one of my fellow flutes if she's heard of your band, she went to Mt. Carmel in San Diego.
