[QUOTE="Star*, post: 194251, member: 4964"] Band is a FOUR letter word..........WORK...and that's not the first one that comes to my mind as the WIDOW FRIEND of a girl who has her youngest in Marching Band, State, etc. Whent he kid was in 9th grade she started band, loved it and it gave her opportunities she may not have had otherwise. FOR ME? It meant unless I wanted to numb my behind sitting on endless hot, 100 degree metal bleachers and traveling at 4:00 AM across state in a car full of teenagers? I lost a friend. I support them and have put up more strawberries, wrapping paper, and made more cookies than I care to remember - so be prepared. Our band asks a LOT LOT LOT out of their parents, AND it's expensive. This years fees for camp were $500 - and band was $500. IF you missed camp you were an alternate, BUT your mom still has to pay $500 and you may or may NOT get to march. I actually was going to have a shirt printed that said I used to have a best friend - Now her kid is in band [/QUOTE]
