A newly published gallery featuring high school marching bands from 2011 to 2020 highlights the educational value students gain beyond what audiences see at football games and competitions, according to Yahoo, which reported the information from the Zanesville Times Recorder.
The gallery is the second part of the Times Recorder’s salute of area high school bands, Yahoo reported. The publication noted that students in high school band programs learn teamwork, find a sense of belonging, gain confidence and grow as individuals through their participation.
Those experiences can stay with students long after the final note of their high school careers, according to the report. Yahoo relayed that perhaps the most important lesson extending well beyond the band room is that every person has a part to play, and no matter how small that part may seem, it matters.
The gallery offers a decade-long look back at area school marching bands, documenting the ensembles that provided students with formative music education experiences both on the field and in the classroom.
