Did he say "Articles"?

Why, Yes he did! Here at Simply Instrumental, we have long been driven to bring you not just the competitive nature of Marching Band, but instead emphasize ALL the aspects of this great activity. This section was created when we first started this website. We've continued to add to it over the last few years and hope to do so in the future.

The articles listed here have been written by students, directors, judges, our staff, and even a few from parents. We really enjoy bringing you the "other side" of the activity - not just who won what award at what contest or who made State Finals - but a glimpse into the people involved in the activity itself.

This is the very reason SI was created and it's the reason we continue working to bring you the latest info on the Marching Band activity. We hope you enjoy these articles and if you're one of those special few that enjoys putting thought to paper (or pixels to screen as it may be *grin*) - drop us an email...perhaps your article could appear here along side the others.

If you have a suggestion for an article or would like to write one for our site, please let us know by completing this form or by email at info@simplyinstrumental.com.
