Janice Markowitz once stated that, “If I had it all to do over again, I would do most all things differently.

    Marching band; copious amounts of people scoff at the sound of those words. I often hear students commenting on how easy marching band is, how we don’t train like the football players do. At Anderson High School, that’s not the case, the marching band trains for just as long.
