Washington kids in the MI makes sense.
Washington HS is more of a college style band. Big, plays well, plays more "fun" shows, etc.  Previous Message It was an amazing experience for the kids (DocJr was one and loved it). Washington HS band has won their class at the Illini Band Invitational a few times in the past 5 years. There are 5 kids from that senior class who are MI members. Typically get 2-4 a year that are members. Previous Message
Congrats
