    I live far away from mellophonia but my band hall has a room where everyone knows its name. It’s called “The Brass Room” and the best part is that those “Winds that shall not be named” can’t go in there and it’s mostly those people that know nothing about us mellophonians.

    It is in IN. In a small town about an hour away from Indy, at the smallest school in their class... But it's called Mellermaphonia, and all the new mellophone players are inducted in and given the title of a Mellermaphonian. I am one of four from this year... We are shrinking. I have to leave this land next season, for it is not my calling to be a Mellermaphonian. I will be joining the guard, but this land is not all its cracked up to be. Be warned.

    It's hard for me to butt into this, especially because I don't know your parents. I'd try to maturely and calmly explain to them why you want to march, maybe show them what it's all about. Drum corps makes some really awesome people. It teaches you to work with others. It shows you that hard work and perserveriance can do wonders. It not only makes you a better performer, it makes you a better person.
