Band Parent Poetry

What is life without poetry?  Nothing much at all.

We know that "Band is life". You can easily check in the RSS Band Parent's Dictionary for confirmation of this basic fact. So it follows as success follows hard work in a band hall that Band must have poetry.  Where does this poetry come from? Band members are much too busy to write poetry. Band parents on the other hand have hours of spare time available while they wait in school parking lots for the return of band buses.  Here is a selection of band parent poetry, 100% guaranteed written by actual band parents (or at least music parents). You can say what you will about its quality but you certainly won't find poems like these anywhere else.
