Being in the Band
Everybody wants to be a part
of something big nowadays, and being in the
Doherty Spartan Marching Band is something that
you will remember for the rest of your life.
Something you can look back on and say, “I
helped make that band what it is today!” Band is
more of a calling than people realize; it tests
your skill, stamina, strength, and courage to
perform the best you possibly can during
competition. Most of the times in practice
everybody isn’t giving their best because
they’re bored, or just have had a long day at
school. This all changes after our first
competition, when all the freshmen get chills
down their spine, when they realize this isn’t
practice; it’s the first time they are judged in
front of a live crowd. This feeling is far
beyond words; even seniors in the band still can
go back to that moment when they started this
journey to a life changing experience. The band
truly is the pride of Doherty High School
because it is made up of the most committed and
spirited teenagers that have become much more
than young adults...they have become an
individual.
