Jennifer Morrison

And he had 400 kids in his band.

well yes exactly that was my dad and that was then that was my brother yeah and then he ended up kind of retiring from teaching early because he now designs marching band shows for all the top bands in the country what yeah the the drill it's called the drill which is the design of what's happening in the field all the way through and then also the overall concept i mean it's not dissimilar to directing because you have to have like a thematic concept and then you arrange the music he works with like people who work with cirque de soleil and all this he's brought in all these like really like

you know, avant-garde elements into these programs.

Pyrotechnics?

Sometimes.

Yes.

Sometimes.

Yeah.

It is a wild sport.

And it's like all the parents, you know, there's the band parents too.

And there's all these rules and regulations and you can lose tenths of points if you step over the line at the wrong time and you can't come on the field until you're invited.

Wow.

You know, there's all these things.

And so you like line up and you're ready to go.

And they'll say like, Prospect High School, you may now take the field in competition.

And that's when you're like, that's your time starts.

And you have 15 minutes all in to set the field, do the show, get off the field.

And the last person's foot has to cross that line before those 15 minutes or you'll get more of a deduction.

Okay.

So then you have parents waiting with like the timpani and the xylophones and the this and the that.
