I don’t know who scheduled the fundraiser.

I don’t know why the trailer inventory sheet disappeared.

If you are looking for someone to quietly sit in the bleachers and simply enjoy the performance… I can tell you now… I am not that parent.

But what I do have… are a very particular set of skills.

Skills I have acquired over a very long marching season.

Skills that make me a nightmare for broken canopy tents, missing uniforms, and parents who reply-all to the entire booster email chain.

I can back a 20-foot trailer into a parking spot with surgical precision while holding a breakfast burrito and answering a text that says:
‘Do we still need ice?’

I can locate a lost freshman percussionist in under four minutes using only instinct, radio traffic, and the sound of uncontrolled stick clicking.

I have survived bus rosters. I have survived prop loading. I have survived 17 straight hours at a competition fueled entirely by concession stand nachos and emotional instability.

I know how to stretch a budget so far that economists should probably study me.

I can set up hospitality for 300 people in a cafeteria built in 1974 with six outlets and one working sink.

I have stared directly into the eyes of a band director at 11:47 PM when they say:
‘Hey… one more quick thing.’

And I did not flinch.

I will organize the volunteers. I will repair the plume box with zip ties and prayer. I will make 4,000 chicken sandwiches appear out of thin air.

Because I am a booster parent.

And while the world sees chaos…
we see kids.

We see the nervous freshman stepping onto the field for the first time.

We see the senior realizing it is their final performance.

We see the kid who struggled to belong finally finding their people under stadium lights and in band hall laughter.

That is why we do this.

Not because it is easy. Not because it is glamorous. Not because anyone fully understands how much work it actually takes.

We do it because somewhere between the truck loads, the fundraisers, the meetings, and the exhaustion… these programs become home for our kids.

And if protecting that experience means learning a ridiculous set of skills along the way…

Then so be it.

Today we shout out our winds! Day two was hot but man was it good to be back in our zone! These Eagles are going to groove this season so be on the look out for us!

The Etowah Band wants to take a moment to thank one of our biggest supporters on retirement at the end of this school year! Congrats Mr. Horn! Your time at Etowah has been one focused on supporting our community! You have helped our band program thrive and grow in so many ways! We hope that you get to enjoy time with your family and friends choosing what your next adventure might be! Thank you so much! You’ll always be an Eagle! 🦅
