"the secret community of marching band"

i was very happy to hear from one of my very first JMHS students who just got into grad school based on “the secret community of marching band”

“The interview was 45 minutes and it went great.  Toward the very end though, the interviewer asks, “So, you were in the marching band?  What instrument did you play?”  I thought to myself, “That was a random question,” and told him.  He told me he was a trumpet player in the marching band and was the Drum Major.  Whoa.  Then the interviewer went on to say that marching band people have a secret community…I agreed and said everyone has their groups in high school and I was in the marching band…and we simultaneously nodded our heads.  =’D  I thought to myself, “This conversation is bananas.”  Holy shit you helped me get an in buddy.  Yaaaaaahhh.  I am so thankful for your help in all of this.”

Woot!
