But the biggest aspect employers trust is that a band student knows how to disconnect and dedicate themselves to a task when called on to do so. Students are expected to unplug at the door of the band room in most programs across the U. It's just a part of being in band. But that is a very valuable trait to most employers these days.
It truly makes me sad thinking about some schools are ending the music programs. Every student should spend at least 2 years in a High School Band.
They learn so many things, plus performing in front of an audience. Wouldnt take anyting for those years. Yes this is all true about the marching band, but I would like to say:: you parents can work along side your band kids and grow yourself. How very true this post is and so excellently written. I started out with my love for band watching parades and footnpball games in Durham NC.
Never dreaming I could ever be a member but was given that chance in Jr High. From there to Durham High School.
It made my HS years and taught me all the qualities stated here. On to Nursing I lost any chance of belonging to a Marching Band. I married and moved to Ky. Then I was asked to organize and teach a Medical Class at our local high school. A few years into teaching a group of girls came into my classroom almost begging me to help organize a Flag Unit with the Band.
WOW a dream coming true again. We did this together. I was a part of a Marching Band again. Naturally that included being the RN for them, helped with planning the role of the Flags in the halftime show and Band Trips. My two children followed in our footsteps. She still comes back for Alumni Band Day. After she married They moved to MA. She became a teacher if the Hearing Impaired.

Oldest-7 year. Youngest 8 years. They are both now successful adults using and applying those life skills learned in marching band. I was in marching band as well. Wonderful memories from all our years of marching band. The high school band was tougher than football for me. I had to be more disciplined and practicing was hard. I never appreciated the experience until years after it was over. I agree with all of these points. Yes, marching bands teach you responsibility and how to act responsibly.
Working as part of a team: when playing in a band, you can never be selfish. You have to work with others to make sure the performance is as good as it possibly can be; ensuring your part fits in well with all others, helping your fellow band members out if they forget their part or drop something mid performance, and generally being a valued and valuable member of an important team.
Time management: running late to a rehearsal is never an option, and neither is running late to a performance! Being in a marching band teaches you, not only a sense of responsibility, but also how to manage your time really well. Tweet Like Pin Post Plus.
