Granted I went to a 5A school, but it's not just about the size. It's nice just to have one at all.

I feel you on that one. Back in my day,the Kelly band was big,loud,and proud. They'd go to big competitions in Florida,compete against enormous bands from across the nation,and blow 'em away. To look at our band now is tough. When Patrick Henry brought their impressive Rebel Regiment to Wise this year and performed,I couldn't help but sadly think "That's how our band used to sound"
