There are more than 20,000 high-school band programs in America, some with as many as 400 members. “Over the past 30 years, their shows have evolved into spectacles that John Philip Sousa couldn’t have imagined,” Burkhard Bilger writes. The top bands have dozens of staff, budgets of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and fleets of trucks for their instruments, props, costumes, and sound systems. “They don’t just parade up and down the field playing fight songs. They flow across it in shifting tableaux, with elaborate themes and spandex-clad dancers, playing full symphonic scores.”

Students rehearse intensely, not to play well at football games, but to prepare for a series of fiercely competitive marching-band contests in the fall, culminating in the Grand National Championships, in Indianapolis. The area is “the capital of the new marching-band culture,” Bilger writes, and has two of the country’s most successful marching band programs: the Avon High School Marching Black and Gold and the Carmel High School Marching Greyhounds.

For last year’s nationals, the Carmel marching band performed Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra. “The concerto was hard for any high-school band to tackle, yet the Carmel musicians had to play it from memory, while marching, dancing, and crab-stepping sideways across the field,” Bilger writes. “It’s hard to think of another group activity, past or present, of such complexity.” Go inside the world of competitive marching bands: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/20Utp5

The Remind App is an important way teachers, coaches, and the high school office communicate with students and parents. If you have not already done so, please join the Remind class for your high school student.
