"Coming from a professional 19th chair band geek who is still searching for her "ultimate mouthpiece", I can't think of a better way to cherish the unique inner world of life in the band! These poems prove that participation in school music goes beyond fulfilling an arts credit...it creates a sense of pride, belonging, and humor both on stage and off. Kudos to DJ for creating a hilarious and original work for anyone who has spent even just one day in band class!"
