Brandon started high school this year and followed his big sister's lead by playing percussion in the band. On Natalie's advice, he tried out for the pit and was excited to be chosen to play marimba. He loved band camp, especially when the pit got to practice in the band room while the rest of the kids were out on the hot field learning drill. However, after a few football games of having to hang out in the stands with nothing to do (the pit instruments are too big to take into the stands) and taking constant heat from the other kids over not being a "real" marching band member, he was regretting his choice. He finished marching season strong but next year he plans to try out for battery, sorry Natalie.
Here is this year's field show. Brandon is the middle marimba (right side of the pit, right in front of the drum major's tower).
