If marching band has its own major leagues, then Philadelphia High School senior Jonathan Hall is ready for his first at-bat with the pros.

Hall was recently selected to play fifth bass drum in the prestigious Southwind Drum & Bugle Corps, based in Mobile, Ala. It is a performing musical group originally founded in 1980 in Montgomery, Ala. Southwind is part of Drum Corps International, which is a non-profit governing body for junior drum and bugle corps in the United States and Canada.
