I heard this week is Band Books Week, where we are supposed to read books that have been overlooked and neglected because, well, they’re about bands. I think it usually starts the last Sunday in September, or something like that.
For my contribution to this week, I am suggesting the following 3 books to people
The Marching Band Handbook
This book is a guide for various aspects of marching bands. If you are looking to run a marching band, this might be just what you need.If you are not involved in running a marching band, then you’ll probably want to skip this one.
The Line
If you want an actual story, instead of a manual, then go for this book. It follows some high-school kids as they navigate the tricky waters of classes, band, and relationships.If you are not a girl who is in junior high or high school, then you’ll probably want to skip this one.
The Smiths: Songs That Saved Your Life
Not all bands are marching bands, so here is a book about a pop band. Or rather, a former pop band. Rock band? Alternative rock? Whatever they were, here’s a book about them and their music.If you did not have a poster of Morrissey on your bedroom wall when you were a teenager, then you’ll probably want to skip this one.
Disclaimer: I have not read these books, nor am I endorsing them. I have no idea if they are any good. Read them at your own risk.
What books would you recommend for Band Books Week?
The sons of Benjamin gathered together behind Abner and became one band, and they stood on the top of a certain hill.
