Honor Band by Dijon Langston

What is honor band? Honor Band is the higher level of band. Honors band has to compete in many tournaments and usually to get into honors band you have to be an advanced instrument player. You would also have to show dependability in band and show you are responsible and mature enough to accept such an honor. Honors band is a combination between drumming, marching, and flag holding.This year Crete Monee High School came in second place with eighty-eigh pointst which was four points away from Thornridge High School Band.  In other good news the Marching Warrior Band’s drum majors Darius Francis and Tina Moscatel took home the honors of best drum majors in Class A and tied for first on the day with the drum major from Rich South High School. Darius and Tina have been working their tails off for such an honor as high as they have gotten. Now some people confuse band honor with honors band thinking they’re the same but actually it’s quite different than people think. Band honors are a high level of music but for one person. Honors band is the group of the band honors and it can be compared to junior varsity and varsity. Any and every band member wants to be in honors band, it’s the next step of music. It’s more challenging, more work, more practice and the challenges are difficult. But as there is a down to everything there is also an upside. The reward for the challenges an honors band gets is enormous! You are publically known, the friendships you make will last for what feels like an eternity, and you get the great satisfaction of being on “varsity” band with people just like you.
