I think that explains some of the origins of the bagpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing band directors, I somehow get the feeling there was less of a consensus in that meeting than they claim. Band directors have never been in consensus on anything, ever, regardless of state. That said, band directors can be even more cliqueish than band students. I know plenty of organizations around the country where only people who "toe the party line" are tolerated (so to speak). I make no claims about the MCBA, I have no insider knowledge. But the MCBA is a small-ish organization (60 members?) so the numbers are small enough it's at least within the realm of possibility that there could have been a near-unanimous vote.

MikeN Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Texas UIL delayed the fall sports decision that was due yesterday, only saying there will be some form of football this fall. (So, we assume, some sort of band season.) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
