I had 3band directors. One used to write drill for Glassmen a long time ago. Another, i think, marched Scouts back in the day. the other was a flute , but she loved that i was doing it also. so my directors were very supportive. they still are actually, i graduated 2 years ago and whenever i come and ask to borrow a mello to work for camps they let me take one home, no queastions asked.
