For countless students in the spring of 2020, the whole band experience was, well ... banned. They were sent home to finish the year online, any hope of ensembles put to rest. So long band. So long musical. So long jazz band.
As we head into the fall of 2020, many schools once again aren't getting together in person, including for my son in high school. And so, band has once again been banned, at least for the time.
It's a unique disappointment that they share. And if we're going to be disappointed with something, the least we can do is have a laugh about it.
So without further ado, I share my new "School Banned 2020" t-shirts and related products for band students who want to remember this and share a laugh about the memory as best they can.
