I want to tell this book to fuck itself.
That's how I felt when I contemplated about throwing a library book into the trash and just give the library seven or so bucks so they could replace with....I don't know, something that actually had social value and that didn't preach values that were just soooo horrible.
Yes, I'm raging right now. And I guess I should explain that rage.
If you read this blog or know me, I'm a bit of a band geek. My parents are musicians, aunts uncles too, my sister is as well. Heck, my best friend growing up's parents were band directors too so I was always around band people. I know how marching band works and while I didn't have the best marching band experience (double alternate here), I get how it's an important part of the high school band experience. And prime for YA.
Unfortunately, YA sort of sucks in adapting marching band.
Grant it, I've only read one now two books that dealt with the subject matter but they sucked ass. Big time.
