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?
